          Just ordered!

          This was a bit confusing in the description:

          • Overdyed - the overdying process takes out all the shrinkage

          • Other dimensions will shrink proportionately to the waist

          Does it shrink or not?! 😃

          Blanket-line all the things!!!

            It does not. That second bullet point you mention is a standard disclaimer in almost all jeans and will have been C and P’ed in.  Maybe @AdamJ wants to take it out?

              Technically I have zero cash flow right now, too, but I’ve convinced the wife that this is the entirety of Christmas. [emoji23] Convenient timing.

                        Hoping ya'll could weigh in. I normally try to get jeans that after stretch will be 35.5 waist. If I get a "mid rise" jean this means that it will sit comfortably on my waist and not require a belt. I'm torn between the 33 and 36. The 36 will surely stretch beyond this and require a belt, but I'm wondering if the 33 would be doable because the cut sits above the mid rise line and my body proportionately tapers in above my hips. Does anyone have experiencing sizing different iron heart cuts according to the rise? Do you usually buy the same waist measurement despite the cut? What kind of waist differentials can you get away with between cuts?

                            Personally, I don't wear these too much higher than a standard rise pair. When I first got the 888, I would hike them up but they always ended up settling at my waist. So my advice would be to go with your standard waist measurement.

                            Maybe someone else can chime in.  I might be doing it wrong [emoji14]

                              There is no spoon! I mean, no “wrong”.

                              My body shape lets me take a smaller waist in these than in the 777 and 666 which sit much lower.

                                Mo,  If these sell well, we will do other cuts in 25oz MBMF. We were a little nervous in doing a load of cuts because a) we had to make the decision in March/April, when the world was going to shit and b) they're bloody expensive, so we wanted to see how they would be received.

                                  Getting two inches of stretch out of these will be a challenge.

                                    If it helps, I aimed for a waist 0.5" narrower than my currently well worn 888XHS.

                                      I know this is not the thread for the 555’s MB 25oz.

                                      But still these are the hype.. the fabric is insane out of this world.

                                      Thanks Giles for selling me the sample pair…

                                      Hope great time do come .. and this madness is over with pandemic crap.
                                      Even though willing to buy another pair but 888 isn’t my fit.

                                      Never knows what around the corner.. Iron Heart is known for dropping surprises I like them coming.

                                        Kasi how does the XHSmb feel compared to regular XHS or the ib?  Any noticeable difference in softness or texture?

                                        How do you think it will fade?  looking forward to seeing how this stuff looks with heavy wear.  looks hella stubborn

                                          these have more thickness and very stubborn but can feel the softness as they will go
                                          more softer..

                                          XHS goes soft after a soak or wash feels less thickness over time, they become a beauty

                                          IB is similar… unless your not doing soaks or wash at first.

                                          I can’t says anything about fading to early to says.. In my opinion I think hard work is required and effort.

                                            They don't feel as hard to touch as the XHS or XHSib. @AdamC certainly remarked on how comfortable they were when he donned them for fit pics!
