Lots of sun today. These jeans remind me of my cat, black in a way but soft and shiny, and pearlescent luster much like my cat in the sun.

@Filthy cool cat

this new website design i personally find it not so easy to search within thread.

anyhoo, just bought a pair, waiting to arrive.

I wear a size 28

My 777 xhs was a bitch to put on when I first bought it, now they are little bit easier to put on and I haven't washed/soaked them [dreading it]. In hindsight, i should have may be gotten size 29.

I was looking at these 634 XHSib and realized size 28 measurements more or less fits me better. So i ended up buying a size 28 again. Fingers crossed.

Anyone who wears this size can comment on Shrinkage [hot/cold]? I am planning on Soaking them in warm water as soon as I get them to get the shrinkage out of the way, provided they are not too tight on me, then it would be cold soak.

@hillbilly Everyone seems to have their own variation but for me, the thighs are always the key with denim that will shrink...the waist will stretch out usually but if I try the XHS on preshrink and the thighs are tight I know I'll be buggered after I soak them. I also wear mine hard for a few days before I soak the XHS just to loosen up the button holes and then give it a soak in the tub in as hot water as possible. From then on, they get cold-washed in the machine when needed.
I hope the sizing works out for you!!

@Salted-Racer Thanks for a quick reply. Good reminder about the button holes, I thought I would have blisters on my fingers when i tried 777, i remember I had to use screwdriver to slowly stretch them first time. May be i will wear the 634 a day or two before I soak.
