    This is a relaxed tapered fit, the 555 is super slim

      @Heavy_blue:

      Anyone has experience how these are compared to a 555 model?

      They are quite different. There is a higher rise on both, but the shape of the too block is otherwise entirely different. In addition, the 888 has a wider leg and much more taper through the length of the leg.

          Traded my size 38 into fade trades. Finally got around to purchasing a size 40. They should ship today and I look forward to starting them in the colder months.

            It's been years since owning a new pair of XHS to break in.  Already enjoying the process and looking forward to how they evolve.  Normally not a cuff guy and still having an internal debate to hem or not to hem???

              Always hem @Bums_Fan.

              I am hard on my jeans and the the folds are always the first thing to get very thin and rip. Hemming increases longevity for me.

                Thanks @Perpetual_beta .  I have tried numerous times to talk myself into trying a cuff on my jeans and always end up hemming them.  My 805 bibs are the only item in my closet that sports a cuff.  Just seems right for bibs.  Didn't last two wears on this pair and took them in for hemming yesterday.

                      Bought my pair in March 2021.  First pics are from a month in.  The rest of the pics are from today.  Zero washes.  Zero soaks.  Mostly weekend wear.  I don't wear them in the summer months.  I remember it being extremely difficult to get them buttoned up the first time I put them on, and they were painfully stiff, but I also remember being shocked how quickly they softened up.  This is my only pair of Iron Heart denim pants.  I have two pairs of Naked and Famous, one 12.5oz and one 19oz.  The Iron Hearts are my favorite by far.

                          @chadstone30 those fades look killer dude. XHSib is the best for sharp, high contrast fades.

                            Thanks all.  I'm proud of them.

                            Honestly, I was disappointed in the pictures and almost didn't post them.  In person this fabric has so much sheen, dimension, and depth.  None of that comes across in the photos.

                              @chadstone30 Yeah totally get it man. It's like taking a pic of a sunset, hard to do it justice.

                                  Alright, I need some help here. I’ve never owned IH jeans before and am utterly confused by the washing instructions. I’ve been wearing these for about a week, the waist was certainly tight but it’s starting to stretch out now. I haven’t soaked or washed these at all and wasn’t planning on it. Today I received an order from IH and my partner noticed the washing instructions booklet, apparently you are supposed to soak these before wearing? I remember reading in the online washing instructions that soaking is optional and not required for 25oz. I’m so confused.

                                  I’ve read about how on the UHR you need to soak them so the stitching sets, is that the case here? Help!

                                    @nrtphotos I soak all of my jeans inside out in the bathtub or laundry sink pre wash.  After the jeans have been thoroughly soaked, I then place them in a washing machine to clean.

                                    By doing this you minimize the chance of creating marbling or streaks on your jeans.

                                    It's a best approach method that most of us use.

                                      These are brand spanking new, worn less than a week so they definitely don’t need a wash. I’m more concerned about the stitching setting in and longevity. The booklet wording made it sound like you absolutely should, where the online post about washing said a soak was optional. That’s what I’m confused about.

                                          @nrtphotos You are talking about two different denims and two different ways that they need to be treated.

                                          The UHR needs to be pre-soaked and washed in order to set the stitching to prolong the longevity…

                                          The XHS only needs to be pre-soaked prior to wash in order to prevent marbling.  I often have taken my XHS from the bag and worn them until dirty.  When it comes time to clean, the best way to prevent marbling and/or streaking is to pre soak inside out and then wash as normal.
