      You will get some shrinkage when they see water. Up to an inch in waist and length. I would soak or wash.

                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.

                        After one initial hot soak with lots of hand agitation and 4 weeks of wear these are starting to show some evo.  Here's a little glimpse of what fades may come with the XHSbb.

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

                            I'm hoping for some vertical fades too, but not much fading going on yet on the front thigh areas to see what will happen.  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.

                                          I was worried about the stronger taper of the 555’s. After months of re measuring my 888’s I pulled the trigger.  The measurements of the these 555’s were close enough to my 888. I haven't soaked them yet. I’ll probably get that out of the way later this week. I just really wanted to see if I could wear them through a day of work.

                                            Yeah the thigh taper on the 555 is brutal. The 888 tapers more through the whole leg, and is easier to wear as a result.
