Just got this pair in yesterday. I've been wearing 555s for years but this if my first go at the 25oz… wow these things are no joke! Hoping my legs do end up battered and bruised by the end of the break in period!

Best to soak them first…

Gives a faster break in.

Giving them a hot soak before wearing also takes out the remaining shrinkage. The XHS denim is lightly sanforized and you'll get between a half-inch and inch of inseam shrinkage with that soak. That will theoretically give you crisper honeycomb fades over the lifespan of the jean, though I'm not sure how much it matters in practice.

Matters a lots

I always soak my 25oz XHS
