IH-666-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black

@neph93:

Taper is great for those with medium to short inseams (relative to height), but straight wins for those with a longer inseam every time. And yes, I am jealous [emoji1]

You're the master of the 888 though! How are your XHSibs coming along?

[neph93]

I have a very short inseam for my height. I'm 6', wide-ish in the body and have a 30" inseam. They are coming along, slowly but surely. They are not the jeans I reach for first as I find not everything I own works with the indigo/black. As you say though, 'tis the season to wear XHS so I§m planning on putting some wear on them.

@Palmer did you get some measurements pre/post wash by chance?

Lots of documented shrinkage on the IH-888-XHSib thread as well as the sample thread for the same jeans:

The data for standard XHS is also applicable as it is the same denim and behaves in the same way.

I just saw your question @Nskelton. Somehow I missed it earlier. I did take measurements, here you go.

Waist: 19.25 / 19
Front Rise: 12 / 11.8
Back Rise: 16 / 15.5
Thigh: 13.75 / 13.2
Knee: 10.1 / 9.9
Hem: 9.5 / 9.3
Inseam: 34.5 / 33.8

This shrinkage came from a hot soak with plenty of hand agitation. I line dried the jeans.

Hope this helps. Sorry for the delayed response!

Cant wait to see a pair of these in the wild with some of those purplish fades going on.
Purplish–-not even sure if that's a word

[Giles]

Sort of is-ish…

[dinobarnesberlin]

As long as you get my meaning , that's what counts

[Nskelton]

@Palmer thanks, those numbers look pretty good. I'd be a tag 38 as well. These would be my relaxed pair.

[Nskelton]

@Palmer How are these jeans looking for you these days?

Pretty much new to be honest. I've been focusing on a couple other pairs at the moment and these jeans see light duty weekends for the most part. I think they have about a month of actual wear in them, so some slight whiskering is about the only fading going on.

When will there be a restock? Need size 34.

We have initiated the production run, but do not have a due date yet…....

Hell yeah dude! By far my favorite fabric by any brand, the XHSib is frickin' amazin'.

[Jcaz6996]

Cheers Graham yeh absolutely love these XHSib tough break in period same as any 25oz I guess ,but now so comfortable get better with every wear.
day 225/365 determined not to miss a day ..

@Graham My next jeans once size 34 is back in stock.

This one looks interesting. I have just stepped into the XHS game and for sure this is going to be my next pair. The measurements on this one is more reasonable than the XHS.

[the246guy]

Any ideas of a restock on this? I'm considering getting another pair in the 666 cut to rotate with my current 666 XHS. This might be my next purchase.

Next few weeks…..
