with these being sanfordized but un washed, should they be soaked or not necessary?

“At some point”
When they stink i will wash.

not really concerned about honeycombs.
reference:

Finally got out the tape measure and after a hot soak,two hot washes and two tumbles in the dryer…I’ve lost about an inch in length which also includes combs/creases,and maybe a half inch in the waist,but I was having trouble taking that measurement,as it was hard to get them to lay flat.

Date night.
W/ Pendleton wool. And Luchesse shark.

So very similar to SBG. Hoping for the vertical streaks like indigo XHS.

@SEAK:
I'm also waiting for that soft leathery hand feel of the XHS to set in!
Four weeks may be a little early for that to happen. I think four months is more likely. Also, I don’t want to sound like a merchant of doom but based on my experiences with the 21oz SBG it may take even longer with these than the indigo version. Something about sulphur dyeing really stiffens the fabric.

Just gave this pair a machine wash after 90 days of light lockdown wear. Not quite in the soft super comfy stage yet but lots of that trademark XHS atari already happening.

Hello everyone im brnad new to the 25oz world. Pickup up the 555 xhsbb in size 32. These feel bullet proof. I hope they will eventually break in and mold to my body like my 21oz sbg 888s did. I was torn between sizes 32 and 33. The thighs are tight and the top block seems to fit snug. I can still do squats and get in and out of my truck at least lol.

Welcome! I’m loving how everyone is embracing the XHS and these new dye variations. If you can squat I’d say you’re good. The XHS often seems too tight in the beginning because of the weight and rigidity.
Be careful with a wash/soak as they will get a little tighter… However they will also stretch back out again with wear. You may find it uncomfortable for a week or so.
