Oh word?  The website says no. Ok thanks

[Jett129]

It was Austin who told him that. I guess you should call. Full disclosure he was asking for a repair and not hemming. Maybe that makes a difference.

I notice the thighs shrank a ton, more than the waist in actual shrinkage. :o

[Matty123]

It could be that thighs for more agitation than the waist. And TBH these jeans are hard to measure after a soak They are so stiff and difficult to lay flat.  So the numbers could be off a little.

Please share some post soak fit pics, when you are able.  I have been eagerly watching this thread.

I will post some tonight when I get home from work. Sorry for delay 

[browniemcghee]

Nothing to be sorry about.  I am just excited because I think I am going to replace the 666XHS that my thighs grew out of with these…I certainly wasn’t trying to give you a hard time.  No hurry.

Thanks man but I didn’t think you were. Im being hard on myself because I feel  I should have posted those pics by now. I’ve been given this opportunity to have these unbelievable jeans and I owe it to IH and you guys to do a good job.

Cool too because that is about the amount of stack I wear with a slightly smaller cuff.  This gives me a really good idea of what to expect.  Also, that color continues to grow on me.

Thanks guys. Yeah I still need to Have them hemmed but I love these things

[Fadez]

Nice man! Looking forward to the evo you put them through

[Matty123]

Just finished up at work. Sending them out for a hem this week.

Do these have black pocket bags and rear pocket linings? I love the black arcs. I know they don't do preorders but I need to buy myself a $400 voucher so I have the money ready to go as soon as they are ready.

@Matty123 how heavy and soft do they feel compared to the 888-NT? I'd ask vs. regular XHS but I dont think you own a pair of those.
