@Filthy:

Thank you very much everyone. I love them being hemmed @dinobarnesberlin

They look good

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

They didn't start out this way… But the best fitting jeans I can ever remember. I am very happy with these.

They look great Mike. I am waiting for a size 38 to be back in stock so i can get a pair also. I like the hemmed look on you. Looks rad as hell

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thanks @yannis I appreciate that. I haven't forgotten about your Prontos. I only have an evening at home. Just got done with a job in Delaware, doing a one day job in Ohio tomorrow, then in California, maybe?

[yannis]

Damn man you were in Delaware? I live on the boarder of Maryland and Delaware. I travel to Delaware daily for work. I got locations in Newark, New Castle, Bear, Wilmington,  Dover and Smyrna. If you ever come by again hit me up. Dinner and beer is on me.

I was working at Marcus Hook refinery 

[yannis]

Right on man. No worries and no rush. When you get back home hit me up about the prontos. Travel safe!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

@yannis I am on the fence about selling them. So they won't go to anyone but you… 

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I hope quadruple posting it's minded too much… But I love how thick and soft these are from the 2 hot soaks and 2 weeks of wear. XHS is absolutely my favorite ever.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

It's interesting to me how the waist has completed rolled over on these from the being so tight initially. The waist is so comfy now. Also this camera captures the color of the denim really well in night mode.

cool detail shots @Filthy –--looks like that pair has Dunlap disease  ???

[daynym]

@Filthy Do you remember the starting measurements for the waist?
And if so. How much stretch did you get?

Size 34 Looks perfect for me except for the waist. I stretched my 888sod to 94 cm and wonder if I can get the same stretch in with this denim.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

They started out 35.6 and they are now a little over 37 now.

[daynym]

Okay. Thx!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

@daynym I also forgot to mention I soaked them and the waist was close to a 35 and has stretched like 2 inches. In my opinion, especially on jeans with a roomy top block, if they aren't agonizing to button up when you first get them… They will end up being too big in the waist eventually. No amount of soaking, dryer or whatever will ever make them shrink permanently enough to be a good fit.

[daynym]

Fitwise this is true. But somedays I really enjoy a pair with a wider waist. Sitting in front of a desk all day comes with my job. A tight waist can be a real pain in the ass, while sitting for long hours. But nothing the good old "open the top buttons while sitting" wont solve.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I decided to reboot my stacks and soaked the bottom part of the legs in boiling water then ironed them while they were wet, and they are over the vent to dry.

Man those are off to a fast start!  Combs & whiskers are setting in deep.  Great color starting to show

[yannis]

Looking awesome Mike. Can't wait for tag 38 to be in stock!
