      Congrats! I do not have the cash flow right now…and there aren’t that many in stock [emoji24]

      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.

        I'm envisioning a living room with a pair of 888XHSMB in the center, adorned with garland and ornaments 😃

          Hahaha I’m not sure Marcia would be amused by that, but it would certainly fit the bill.

                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!

                                      As @AdamJ said, they feel softer from the off than the XHS or XHSib.  I didn't want to take them off!

                                            I currently have two wearable pairs and that really is enough as they do not get anywhere near as much leg time as they deserve. It won't stop me from picking these up when they come back around. For once my will power lasted longer than the stock…
