@Denimminer:

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.

I do not know how you do it   

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

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

It was an experience that I won't soon forget

These are the ones I meant to ask about on restock.

@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.

Production run has been placed, no ETD

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.

You do a good job @ twin

They get a lot of wearing when outside hiking @dinobarnesberlin

[dinobarnesberlin]

well, all that hiking around gets good fade results for sure.
Always enjoy seeing your fit and fade posts @twin

Another amazing pair with this denim. No days missed is wild- I've skipped six days to wear other pairs.
