Thanks @Matty123

Hey @Alex is there any way I can get a patch for my pair?

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Sometimes I work in a mill/coke factory and we drill solid masses of C18Fe7N18/ prussian blue out of this heat exchanger at their water treatment plant. The shade of indigo in these jeans reminds me of this stuff.

I really like the cobalt color of these jeans and how the black kind of cools down the indigo shade of the denim even further. They seem to have a cooler color temperature than regular 25 XHS does, with a more neon blue.

When this stuff further oxidizes it turns completely black. I wish I had a picture to show you but I don't. They tell us it is an oxidized form of cyanide. I take it that it is not lethal because I would be dead.

I guess they used to paint with the stuff to. According to Google this painting is famous for an extensive use of prussian blue as a pigment. It's strange that this stuff can be used as a pigment because it doesn't stain your skin. At least the stuff I am talking about is.

The artist is Hokusai. I found it trying to find an image of the stuff I am talking about. I didn't see a good representation of the color I am trying to describe other than the graduations in this picture.

^that is a great post @Filthy thank you for that.

@mpukas after I picked up my 888S-OD last week I was thinking pretty much the same thing. The thigh and top block are just forgiving enough that sizing down for a trim modern fit is no problem and they stay smart when you go TTS.

Not helping the want @Sam. Not helping at all [emoji28]

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Oh God, I know. I am soooo excited for these. Never have I ever been so keen on ogling a man's butt before.

I'm super happy that they went with navy arcs too. I can't wait to be swaddled in supple 25 oz denim again. Thanks for the pics @sam

I have a problem there (theoretical only of course as I’m not copping [emoji22]) I could go for a W33 without a soak and the measurements would be perfect. With a soak and I may be struggling with the waist. A W34 would be a little big even with a soak… What to (theoretically) do?

[Matty123]

I’d go bigger as I’m a growing boy… errr

[Paul9221]

Is a soak recommended on these?  You could always just cold soak, right?

[Matty123]

I soaked and I got a decent amount of shrink. I recommend a soak for sure. @Sam will
You guys be posting shrink measurements?

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

For me I have gotten over the desire to have skin tight jeans. Also because I sit for very long periods of time flying and driving I prefer the extra room. There is like quite a differential between standing and sitting. The jeans appear relaxed fit when I stand and pretty snug when I sit (in the knee and thighs).

Luckily for me thay these seem to be a little on the tight side with some relaxation after the stretch.

I have not had very much luck ever sizing down on a pair of XHS. You probably remember that pair I blew the button off and fixed with the penny.
