@Filthy:
Piece of cake. The very bottom one is always the worst.
Pro tip: do it up before you put them on, never undo it again. I learnt that after my first pair of XHS.
Thanks. Yeah I usually only undo the top 2 or 3. I wish these bastards had a zipper.

That’s exactly what I’v always done in the past, could not button the bottom button unless I was wearing them. It will never be opened again.
I accidentally unbutton it sometimes when I am trying to whip it out fast. Hence why I wish they had a zipper. One of these days I am going to buy an entire run of 25 XHS jeans with a zipper and no back yoke/ half inch thick intersection of seams.

You're a thin lad. I'm sure you will make it. I was just basically reiterating what you were saying. You were saying that you didn't think a size 32 would look good stretched out.

Truth. Of the 5 pr i have, the bottom button has NEVER been undone.

The first 2 times buttoning nearly any heavy, burly, stiff denim I've had is excruciating. I usually use a flat head screw driver on the back of the button to push it through the buttonhole. After a wash they're all fine after the 4th or 5th time.
-
How have you not accidentally stabbed yourself, Mpukas? Or am I misunderstanding the use of the screwdriver in this scenario?

What she said. This sounds terrifying!

I get the bottom half of the button flange through the button hole, then use the flat edge of the screw driver parallel to the back of the upper half of the button flange to push the rest through through, while trying to pry the top half of the button hole fabric over. Mostly I use a flat head driver bit cuz it's small, but I'll use anything handy that I can fit between the fabric and back of the flange.

Must be quite the occasion for the other patrons to witness if you need to pull this off at a public toilet.

I usually only have to resort to this once or twice, so by the time I venture out in public it's not a problem.
Never thought buttoning a fly would draw so much attention…

Anyone please tell me what’s the different between regular xhs and xhsib ? I know the different weft but I mean how’s the fabric? Did it stiff as same as xhs or more stiff ? Or maybe much hotter while wearing than xhs or more comfortable xhs ? I have a plan for buying this..
I haven’t gotten my hands on a pair of these in either the 555 or 888 personally, so I’m speculating here…but, it is the same denim as the standard indigo XHS. The only essential difference is the way it is dyed. This may affect the hand of the denim in the same way the OD process affects the way the 21oz feels to the touch, but it’s biggest affect will be aesthetic, the way the denim looks out of the bag and when it evolves. I doubt whether the reactive dye has a meaningful, long term affect on the other properties you mention, like the stiffness, comfort and so on.

I didn't notice a difference… not like OD stuff in terms of how it feels under hand. It really is lovely and I am glad I changed my mind about buying these. In the sunlight the colour is beautiful.
