      Could the appearance of flare be a result of strong calf muscles? If so, nice!

        It was an appearance of "flare" that I got even though the knee was a half inch wider than the hem measurements. Maybe it was the cuff bulkiness?

        I see what you mean. I think that you would avoid that if you hemmed them two inches, then cuffed. It looks like the result of too much fabric needing somewhere to go.

          Neph is 100% correct. I had the same issue with this exact pair. Either take a couple inches off and give it a healthy cuff. Or, hem to your actual inseam length. All that excess material is creating a bell bottom illusion.

            Lol I wish thanks though

            I'll keep that in mind for next time. Was scared of hemming before a real wash on these so I just ditched them in fear of them not working after that making them harder to sell. I keep looking for a new pair and cross shop 777 and 555 . My 777 sop/berkeley supply 21oz are pretty much perfect but that particular 777 seems to be an outlier in that the rise front and rear are larger than other 777.

                If you add an inch to your desired hem length you'll be fine. XHS does not shrink more than that.

                  I see so many of you working in your xhs. So today in the south Florida heat and humidity (temp: 86F and 9000% humidity) I built a swingset in my XHSIB. Big mistake! While I may have made some progress on fades - potentially - I nearly died from heat exhaustion  😃 I salute all of you who wear these in hot weather. Time to switch to a lighter pair until move back home to NJ.

                              @Denimminer  give the 777 XHSIB a look. I had the same rise problems with the 555 XHSIB and I sized up one in the 777 and I love the fit and it has a decent rise compared to other 777s.

                                  Deep cleaning before a trip to Texas.  Getting a pocket bag replaced(Wabash!) along with a hem.

                                  7 months, 2nd wash.  Probably increase the frequency with this pair moving forward.
