Unwashed

After a 4 h soak with hottest tap water, no agitation + machine washed @ 40° C with 1200 spin

I could manage to put them back on which I regard nothing less than a miracle. As expected the most shrinkage occured in length and they ended up there where I wanted. The XHS is brutal first but it is so rewarding seeing this fabric becoming supple and silky smooth while beating it into submission. Not to speak of the amazing fades this fabric is developing over time. And yes, the bottom button stays closed for now ;)…

Thanks for your effort once again @Dion , your detailed reports on shrinkage are invaluable.

[Dion]

@Crit_Obs Thank you, mate! I assume there is more shrinkage left when washing at 60° C or when nuking them from orbit at 90° C.

And the wonderful and hairy denim

I got that same feeling from the 777 25oz after six months they get even better..

25oz is awesome.

@Dion those closeups of the XHS look so great. I need a pair in this denim, to really live with for a while. Holding out for 888!

IMHO the 25 oz is also IH's signature denim besides the 21 oz. It's simply gorgeous… and I also had to wait a couple of years until it finally arrived in my favourite cut. Fingers crossed for all the 888 fans out there!

I think 25oz is best by far, I have hammer hell out of the 777 in 25oz… I have nearly 2 pairs of everything in 25oz including the 25oz vest.

I can understand you soaks your first and wash for softer jeans.

I wear them raw for a few months then soaks later I know what expect from these.

My journey in 555 25oz has started now, gonna wear hell out of them.

Looking forward to seeing that on you,and what you do to it after a year.

The 25oz vest is fading slowly, but I know what to expect from 555 jeans, I have 777 25oz in XHS. Finger cross let see how they turn out.

Thanks for input

I have also have the 777XHS,and if I didn't have the ProntoXHS,I definitely would have gotten these. I think we're on the same page when it comes to 25OZ denim.

[Kasi]

I have the pronto XHS, I have two pairs of them. With yellow and blue arc on each pocket. Talking on same level most definitely.

Out of all, mine favourite is XHS material is awesome out of this world. Raw feel at it best get better when it go softer, called it magic and way the indigo fades.

Thanks [emoji1360][emoji4]

I found this little feller in one of the pockets the other day. Luckily it wasn't missing anywhere so it was just forgotten during the manufacturing. Love it!

[Kasi]
