@alexswords:

will there be a pre release measurement guide posted before they go live tomorrow?

There is a strong precedent suggesting "yes".

[alexswords]

Exxxxcelllent.  These measurements shall do nicely.

[brobles]

Apologies for the double post, but I would like to get some advice from the group.

Looking at the tag sizes I think i could fit (once broken in) into either a 33 or 34 depending on how i want the fit.

I'm mainly looking at waist and thigh measurements
My size 34 21oz 555's had a thigh of 12.5 and stretched out all the way to 12.9, which is currently my limit. They also had a 35.5 waist which is a tad bit on the looser side, particularly if you consider stretch.

So my question is, should i opt for prolonged torture, or minimal torture with a potential of some measurements being a tad bigger than wanted?

I'm not sure on the limits of 25 oz and i want to be able to function.

edit; currently im leaning towards at 34 tag size, as i'll need to stretch it out still, but not by much.

AJ wears tag 30

Would you guys say there's a lot of variation between pairs in same tag size, or did they come out fairly uniform?

Two things that may sway your thinking.

1. The 25oz will stretch but slowly. And even a pair that fits out of the bag are bastards to get on and off the first week,(totally worth it in the end).

2. There’ll be shrinkage. Not UHR, 18oz shrinkage, but more than you get with sanforised denim otherwise. Check the regular XHS threads and product pages for deets.

@brobles

There is some variation but not substantial - any specific requests we'll be happy to find the best of what we have if you need a particular spec in a certain area. (Email these to us or leave notes in orders if possible).

Echoing what @neph93 said, these are pretty tough and a pig to get on and off to begin with. They're pretty snug in the thigh - as can be expected with a slim fitting jean. I would trust your measurements and if you're unsure, err on the side of caution and give yourself a touch more room if possible without going too large in the waist.

Does anyone know what size "Sam" wears? He and I pretty much always wear the same size.. I'm curious if he would go with a 31 or 32 in these..

thanks

I was thinking back and I distinctly remember Giles saying that they would never do a 25oz 555. So I guess these are kind of a big deal.

I couldn't find the exact post here, but I did remember this one on reddit.

It's cool they finally figured out a way to do these.

[joephoto]

Good point. That reminds of the thread about making a 25oz jacket. While we don’t have one there is a 25oz vest. That’s why IH amaze me with each product offered. There is always an element of pushing the boundary a little bit further.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Been thinking about that too. And it might not be my place to say. But the sleeves problem could possibly be solved by incorporating a gusset into the underarm area.

The gusset part could be a lightweight indigo chambray or something.
