    @Nkwkfld:

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

    Lol I wish thanks though

    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.

    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.

              My legs came out two sizes smaller. Time to hit the gym

                I think a solid nicotine habit helps… circulation to the extremities decreases  😃

                      @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.

                                        well, all that hiking around gets good fade results for sure.
