Choosing just one pair has been agony. I’m not going to lie.

@AdamJ:

FW20 has been a legendary season for denims I must admit! We're spoiling you 

Are the 888XHSBB going to be released this year still?

[Giles]

We have not been told otherwise….

Thanks, G!

The feels of these is like 40oz for some reason on my 555 25oz  mad black.

Are there any plan for an 888s 19ib?

This could only mean you’ve already made the decision to pick up a pair!

OD is like the best thing ever. Then you tell me that Haraki made a secret double OD solution, call it "mad black" - or mbmfs as some brilliant person called them - and that you're dunking 25oz IH denim into it?!  Kidneys might need to be sold, but this is happening

Bring the dims goddammit! No way I need these, shouldn’t really splash for them either… but it may happen anyway.

The dims will be super exciting as it will be the first time XHS has been released where I’m only thinking about potential stretch and no shrinkage.

25oz that most likely stretches back quickly intrigues me even though I just got xhsbb. The double black has already stretched quite a bit.

No guarantee it will be quick. I’m speculating totally. The 21oz stretches quickly. You notice a difference after the first day. After a week the difference is big. The 21oz OD stretches even more readily and seems to stretch more from starting dims.

With the 25oz, the two OD processes should strip any and all shrinkage out meaning the jeans will stretch, back. However how much and how quickly is an unknown factor until we get hard data back here.  @Paul9221 may be our man for that.

[Nskelton]

My theory is that the 25oz will stretch out just in the knees and waist first whereas the 21oz would stretch out in the top block.

[neph93]

Denim stretches fairly uniformly where it is put under pressure. So knees, waist, top block, will stretch in the same way. Theoretically at least.

Bugger, they really are. W34 is perfect for me.

Believe me the fabric is very thick and will be soften over the time…

The feel of these are amazing next level..

It shame that the 555’s didn’t make to the final production..

Who knows what tomorrow holds...

I'm definitely not your man for fading progress because I have quite a few things that I rotate, but I'll be happy to take some pre and post measurements!  Because it's double-OD, I'm going to assume no shrinkage and won't soak them.  But I'll let you know what the measurements are before I put them on and give you an update a day later and then a week later.

Hasn’t there been XHS OD? I’m assuming the MB’s would behave similarly in terms of stretch.
