            1st off @Oaktavia those look fantastic! I hadn’t seen the whole shebang recently. As far as the waist, you probably just have to wear them for a week or two. Stretch em back out, chubby 😛 😉

              Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone knew how much there 555 xhs ib actually shrunk in the inseam after the first wash. I’ve had mine for about 2 months and I really don’t like cuffing them but I left myself about and inch and a half just in case. I don’t plan on washing anytime soon but I would really like to get them hemmed a bit more.

              Thanks for any advice.
              Peace

                You can expect up to one inch of shrinkage in the inseam with a wash.

                    @Brandon510 Welcome to the forum… if you check out the assorted XHS and XHSib threads you will find a lot of documentation of shrinkage with different washing/soaking regimes. It all comes down to an inch max (often a little less).

                      If you really want to be on the safe side,wash them,get the shrink out,then get them hemmed.

                            These are the nicest looking pair of XHSib I’ve seen.

                            😃 😃 😃

                            Coming from you, that means a lot!

                            It's true… I love the extended fading on the thighs and the vertical patterns. Also they aren't as high contrast as some XHS, but have lovely soft aquatic thing about them. The colour is also most excellent. Mine do not get enough wear and aren't even close to that.

                                I’ve ironed new denim after they get twisted up in the washing machine and dryer with no issues. Just don’t iron directly on top of the denim. Make sure you have a barrier; place a towel or something on the denim before ironing and everything will be good.

                                      Ironing the selvedge seam flat from the inside os definitely a thing in some circles. I would definitely put a towel between the iron and denim if I was going to do it (which I would not), just to err on the side of caution.

                                        If I need to iron the selvedge flat, then I do.  It's cotton, you'd have to try very hard to screw it up
