      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

                    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.

                          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.

                                          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.

                                            Also IDK how far along these are in the planning phase. But in lieu of the regular veg tanned ptach a black tea core patch would be pretty sick.
