IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

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.

Standing on the balcony 24 hrs after getting wet. I gave them a hot soak followed by a hot wash cycle for the agitation (no detergent, no spin) and hung to dry. I did this because I am between two sizes and chose the larger.
Before / After (size 36)
Waist 38 / 37.1
F rise 11.7 / 11.5
B rise 16.2 / 15.8
Thigh 13.3 / 13
Knee 9.2 / 8.8
Opening 8.5 / 8.3
Inseam 35.75 / 35 -
@neph93 Happy to share! I keep a spreadsheet for all my denim, and the pragmatic approach across the Iron Heart community to document and share is incredibly helpful for finding a good fit.
