IH-888-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut - Black/Black
-
These were hands down the tightest button up I’ve had so far. Made the mistake of putting them on while still damp and having a beer. You know what they say…You don’t drink beer you borrow it. When it came time to return it I almost didn’t make it. Heed this warning. Any shrinkage I got in the waist or thighs,on the 555s, stretched right back out within hours.
Ha, I read your story in the – was it the 555 or 777 thread? I'm excited to turn my tub black. These should arrive on Christmas Eve.

That’s exactly what I did with mine.
I saw that! Just a cold wash for me. Lowest spin possible. Already done. No marbling at all.
Now drying in the wind outside. Pretty windy over here but also raining. Might take until tomorrow afternoon to dry.
Will report back with pre and post measurements when they're set.

Did you take pre soak/wash measurements @Paul9221? I have a pair of the 666xhsbb on ice in my closet and I'm thinking I should shrink em down and add them to the rotation.
-
Alright, they're dry!
Right-out-the-bag measurements:
-
waist: 40.6cm (15.98")
-
thigh: 32.7cm (12.87")
-
inseam: 82.8cm (32.60")
Post hot-soak, cold delicate wash, air-dry:
-
waist: 40.4cm (15.91")
-
thigh: 32.0cm (12.60")
-
inseam: 82.1cm (32.32")
And this is about as perfect as I could hope for. Right out of the bag, the waist was a little narrow and the thigh a bit wide. When I measured the waist after drying and saw that it barely moved, I was a little nervous about the thigh. But the thigh shrank even though the waist barely did. Perfect!

Just got my pair of these in yesterday. I broke out in a full sweat, had raw thumbs, and almost gave myself a hernia trying to button the top button. Other than that… fit is on point and the best fitting black denim I’ve ever owned. I hope the 888 comes back in a super black 21oz too.

I’m glad you got the full XHS experience. It’s what you pay the extra bucks for [emoji6]
Seriously, congrats in a wonderful pair of jeans.

What’s the breathability like on these bad boys, compared to plain Jane 21oz?

I’ve seen it mentioned before but these things are like sweatpants made out of iron (super warm and wind proof). You’ll have to get a pair to see what that means for yourself…Just make sure you have a belt that’s up to the task
on the patch would’ve been totally appropriate for your 888s.
