      About an inch, but it depends how much pressure the waist band is subject to….

      An inch past pre-soak?

        Whoops sorry, You'll get an easy inch from post-soak, so reckon on a little more than pre-soak after a few weeks…

            Cool, thanks.  Expect to be cross-examined by one of the customer service boys tomorrow, they will want to make sure they select the best sized pair possible for you….

              Them and me both  😉
              I was debating between 2 sizes and opted to go with the smaller one.  If there is a pair a little bit larger than posted then I think I’ll be golden.

                    I've had this problem too, in my 555XHSib. My wife and I now have a TSA PrePass, no more xrays and taking off our shoes, Yay!

                      I let my TSA precheck lapse and never got around to renewing it since the pandemic. I kind of miss it but it seems like, at least for Global Entry, more people have it now than don't. So it is faster to just go through customs because of the long lines at the Global Entry kiosks.

                            I'm flying in October, from what I have heard, at least here in the States, the number of people flying daily dropped from 80,000 to now days 8,000. So the precheck will be useless. I still like not having to take my shows off though 😉

                                    I can’t blame you guys for buying another pair in this fabric. If a 666 version comes around I’ll probably pick up a pair to replace my 555s.

                                    Nothing quite like it.

                                        Received mine today, and my usual size fits me well. Will be even better after a soak. Thanks to @neph93 and @AdamC for advice on sizing!

                                        Do the button holes become even more impossible post soak? Should I put something in there to stretch them a little or something haha? They're not being easy on me..

                                          My pleasure. Glad it worked out.

                                          The buttons don’t get easier, the forst time after post soak however a pair of pliers is all you need. I have access to these which are perfect, but a standard pair works. After that you’re fine. Another good move is to do the bottom up before the soak.

                                          @neph93:

                                          While I’m on it, this is the ultimate tool for those tricky first buttonings. My first pair took about 30mins and cost me some skin and serious tendon fatigue every time I had to button/unbutton the fuckers.  With this little fella it took me 60 seconds and was practically painless. To be honest it felt like I was cheating. IHUK should offer them as an up-sell with every pair of XHS… [emoji1]
