Damn @Kasi that is a lot of black! Hope you got it clean before your wife saw it

Look forward to seeing the fit.

@peregrine looks good . The contrast is pretty obvious for only 4 week wear !! May result high contrasts if you keep wearing for the next 12 months.

Same thing happened in my bathtub,rinsed right out.

[Kasi]

@neph93 here we go
Gotta say a I lost half a inch in waist…

Still got room in the top block... little loose but am cool with that. Very comfortable to wear no pain.

Right side not wash, left side after soak

[neph93]

Looking good buddy. They tightened up nicely.

[Jett129]

They stretch right back out,really quickly.

[Kasi]

Even if they do stretch out am not worry as much..

Cause they bit like 666 looser kinda of like that..

Might get more shrinkage soaking next time.

[Jett129]

I’m with you,not worried about the looser fit either. Mine have been hot washed and dried twice now,and after the second wash/dry went back  to their pre stretch level. It’s great denim.

Cop’d.

Thanks Graham for all your assistance!

@Giles:

I'm pretty sure on a normal day, my waist varies plus or minus 1".  Some times my jeans are a tad loose, sometimes perfect, sometimes a tad tight.  That is the nature of the beast…

With ya. Sometimes i button the top button; sometimes i dont.

[mikebarhoot]

Or cant… lol

[mikebarhoot]

Did have a question for these.  Will they have the same vertical line fading as indigo 25oz?

Reference: 666xhs and PIHXHS

Tell you in 6 months

[dinobarnesberlin]

wear them like they owe you money

[SEAK Kid]

First pair of slim fitting jeans.  These measurements were just big enough that they worked for me.  Shout out to Adam for helping to find a pair with the waist I wanted. 

Like @Jett129 said, it makes me smile to put on a pair of black XHS!

[neph93]

@SEAK Kid That is a great fit. I love it when a rogue iteration means a cut is suddenly accessable. It happens (rarely) with the 666 for me.

[mikebarhoot]

In LOVE. Again. For the 3rd time. With XHSBB.

Note to self:  Do NOT wear boots when deflowering a pr of XHS. Took longer to get my boots on than the XHS buttoned (20ish min cause i forgot my button hole stretcher).

Thanks Graham and Iron Heart!  These fit just like my PIHXHS

Who would have thought this fat boi woulda ever gotten into a pr of 555’s!?!
-down almost 45lbs but still a few to go. And will never be confused with “skinny”. Like food way too much.

Absolutely brilliant Mike - Congrats.  Though I think I may have got your 45lbs

[Jett129]

They do look great,you’re going to love the denim. Excuse me for being slow,but why did it take so long to get your boots on?

[mikebarhoot]

I have no fingernails and couldn’t get purchase on the denim to raise high enough to get my feet in them.
