    I agree with Reuben.  I'm contemplating picking up a second pair because they're just so great.  Tough but soft, blue but black.  Don't miss out on these!

    Blanket-line all the things!!!

      Yup, always go for the limited runs first. I think it's going to be the last batch of the XHSib denim (unless the decision is being made to make them extant). The 14 oz is going to be in continuous production (and is also great, just on a lighter level).

        Got these tapered.  I think they look way better.

          I gotta admit that that doesn't look bad.

            They do look way better. I got my 555 version of these jeans tapered by a tailor as well,came out great. He had to use the machine he sews leather on to do it.

              I agree. I prefer 8” LO on mine and since I size for thighs on all pants I end up tapering and taking the waist in on most.

                almost 3 weeks wearing these on and off.  fits me like a glove after the taper and hem.  honey comb fades starting to appear already.  i wish the rise was an inch shorter, but not bothered by it.

                i can't wait for the XHS in this cut.

                    Some filthy 888s after a day of hard yard work before and after wash

                      Have you had an stretch in the waist past the pre soak measurements! I’m in between sizes and really need about 35in on the waist and the 36 I’m almost positive I won’t be happy with. I took the 888sOD in 35 fit well.

                        @gpag:

                        Have you had an stretch in the waist past the pre soak measurements?

                        That might be at the outer limits of what you can expect but doable. The XHS won’t stretch as readily as the 21oz but you’ll get an at least inch from post soak. Bare in mind that these don’t shrink the whole inch in the waist. More like half an inch.

                        Edit: my advice would be to measure the waist of your 888S-OD as they are now, the same way IHUK measure, then work it out from there.

                        “Some of those that work forces
                        Are the same that burn crosses”

                                        Man, those look so great!  If they smell, wash them, otherwise I'd probably keep going.

                                          I would suggest 2  nights in freezer , continue for two months , and followed by a hand wash.

                                          I think few more months of wear will make a difference !!
