@neph93 What jacket or vest are you wearing here?
That is a vest and it is the IHV-21. You’ll find it in the Extinct section. Type III vest with a priest’s collar made of the old 18oz and bonded with red felt. Brass snaps for shits and giggles. I love it. Couple of old pics from IG:

There's so much stuff coming out that I want this fall. These jeans are high on the list. Guess it's good I've been working a lot of overtime lately.

I only own a pair of the IH-555-16 Vintage and thinking these 25oz will be my next purchase. Both are sanforised so does that mean I can go with the same size in both or do I need to take into account the extra weight?
I like the idea I won't have to take into account the initial soak, but still want to get a good fit straight out of the gate as these will be my go to for the whole of winter.

They will shrink as although they are sanforised, they are unwashed. The 888-XHSib thread contains some good documentation of what to expect, but you’re looking at 0.5-1” in the waist and leg and about .3” in the thigh.
If I were you I’d use the “Compare” function on the website to check the measurements up against one another. Factor in the shrink and you should have an answer.
Another option is to measure your 16oz pair as they are now and publish here. Someone (possibly me), will be able to advise on the right size for the XHS based on that.

Great advice, thanks.
I'll take a look at the Compare function, but for now the measurements for my just washed (so not stretched back out) 555s-16 Vintage Selvedge Super Slim Jeans are:
Tagged 34 (worn since March 2019 with a number of washes)
Waist: just over 17 inches
Front rise: around 11 inches
Back rise: says 15 inches, but might not be measuring correctly
Upper thigh: 11.5 inchesI've been told a 33 might be good for me in this 25oz pair, but any other suggestions would be appreciated.
