IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
I'm presently working on a pair of 666XHS ….but .....but ....damn I Like the measurements on these
-
Thank you
Looking at the table you'd be perfect with a W35, which sadly doesn't exist. I'd say you need a small W36 or a large W34. Such a thing may exist.
Couple of bits of XHS wisdom… If you're a masochist and you can make the thigh/knee work sizing down is often the best bet. The denim will stretch and relax, especially at the waist, but it will take time and it won't be comfortable.
On the other hand, the denim is so thick that with a belt you may not feel a larger than normal waist as a problem. So a larger pair may work anyway, if you can't fit the thigh/knee on the smaller size.
My feelings exactly - I am gonna see what they have measured from either direction towards a W35 fit.

I wish they had a smaller leg opening
.. I think the 555-01 and 555-03 were spot on for a slim tapered Jean (just my opinion of course).. is there a reason the leg opening measurements have gotten bigger with the releases of the 555xhsib and the 555xhs?? -
To account for shrinkage and the thicker denim I’d imagine.
I'm no sewing guru but I think the opening has to be wide enough to fit a platen through. The 2nd inseam stitch gets sewn right side out so some part of the machine has to fit all the way through the leg. The other 2 seams get sewn inside out. I'm probably wrong. Just a guess.

Very nice indeed @Kasi . I like the daps and the tee too.
Sounds like a solid theory @Filthy . The thickness of the seams will certainly add to the measurements. They are visibly chunkier on XHS iterations than on 21oz jeans.
I am a die hard fan for loopwheel t shirts have quite big collection.
Thanks as always for the input.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Slightly below 35 in inseam as I want them to end up at around 34 after soaking/washing. I did squeeze below one inch of shrinkage out of my previous XHS pairs so I think it should be fine. It's just a tiny concern a new batch of denim could behave differently. Will report back with measurements.

You will be ok, hot two soaks will sorted that.
