      Here they stand waiting for the soak before it’s time for break-in wear.

        After first soak!
        Tight as hell and the struggle was real to get them on. Picture me laying in the floor pulling, sucking in stomachs and so on. But now I can button at least two buttons. Time for a some careful stretch.
        These will be awesome after the war is over!

            Great photos!  😃

            The struggle is crazy. We’ve all been there. Sweating, swearing, blisters on fingers, etc!

              Got some waist measurements for you!
              Tag size 31
              Pre soak 32,3”
              After lukewarm soak with agitation and a hangdry over night 30,7”
              After 3 days with them on me for 2-3 hours per day 31,4”

              First day did I only manage to do one button
              Second day 2 buttons. 
              Today which was the third day I manage to do 3 buttons.
              Maybe tomorrow I can hope for all 4 buttons  😉

                Sounds like those may never be comfortable for you if you’ve gone four days and can’t button up. Good luck with it!

                  Time for a update again.
                  The fourth day I manage to do all the buttons.
                  Fifth day I had the jean all day and everyday since then.
                  Now I have a great fit. (At least I think soo)

                    Judging by how the fly splits at the front it's clear you sized down too much and one size up would probably have been better but if the rest of the fit is like you want them to fit, more power to you.

                      That’s a problem I have with most of my pants. If I hade sized up to 32” they would have been to loose in the waist.
                      How should I put it. Not all men are created equal  😉

                        @Skrietfranvildmarken I think you will be happy you sized down in the long run. The denim is so thick that it will relax all over. You will have your best fitting pair in a month or so.

                          @Skrietfranvildmarken I think that's a glorious fit! And I agree with what @Filthy said. It may be a little painful in the beginning, but afterwards it's going to be so good! In that regard it's a lot like, ehm, good whisky…

                              First day of wearing these and it's been hell. Can barely button them up, putting on my boots made me feel like I was wearing an Arthritis Suit and i'm going commando and sleeping in them to stretch these bastards out as they are too tight with pants. I really hope it's all worth it in the end.

                                  @BulletPattern glad to hear you’re having the proper XHS experience. Just gotta suck it up for a week or so then you’ll be rolling, and you’ll be so glad you did in about 6 months

                                    At the cost of these I'm fully invested in this for the long haul. Such a beautiful fabric.

                                      For those who cares and find it interesting:
                                      Did a soak and wash the other month and thought the turnout could be helpful for some.
                                      Jean: 555-25-xhs
                                      Size: 32

                                      Numbers in this order:
                                      Pre first soak (new)/ soak (super crazy hot water) / machine wash (40C gentle cycle 60 min, front loader machine).

                                      Size tag: 32
                                      W: 43/ 42 cm / 41,5
                                      Fr: 26,7/ 26.5 cm /25,5 cm
                                      Br: 40cm/ 39 cm / 38,4
                                      Thigh: 31,5 / 31,5 cm /30,8
                                      Knee:20,8 cm /19,8 cm 19.6 cm
                                      Hem: 19,2cm/ 18.8 cm /18,8 cm
                                      Have left out inseam as I shortened them prior to second soak so non applicable.

                                        Jeans are finally softening up nicely and I can nearly tie my shoelaces. I'm glad i sized down, as much as it's been a journey the fit is now really lovely.
