      I found the top block to relax considerably with wear. The high rise almost doesn’t even feel high rise anymore unless I really pull them up. I’d need a belt to keep them there but love where they rest without a belt. Super comfy.

      In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                      Forum users tell me please, will soaking help? The new 888s in the top block are too loose. Both sides and front. You can see it in the photo above.

                        @Walery-Smirnoff looks hugely oversized in honestly. If possible, I'd exchange for a size or two down, because I don't think a wash is gonna get you the shrinkage that you need here

                            On the belt they are just right. Smaller size 36 in the belt will be small. As I understand it, 888 fit has a tapered belt and expands to the hips.

                                They look a bit to big indeed! I agree with @T4920 that a soak won’t get the fit you’re looking for. Also when the denin relaxes and stretches it get’s even bigger. Soak-wise the XHS denim is suggested to be soaked before wearing. To get most shrinkage out so you won’t have any fade shifting etc. 🙂

                                  @Walery-Smirnoff if they're fine in the waist, but you're unhappy with the fit in the top block, maybe dry a different cut? Classic 634 or 666 might suit your body type better?

                                    Yes, the trouble is that there is no choice yet, for certain reasons. There is a size 36, but it will definitely be small in the waist. There are 666 more fit to choose from. But there is an average landing. And I don't like it when you fall out of your pants when you squat.)))

                                        @Walery-Smirnoff Yes - here is the part from our care guidelines that is relevant:

                                        Extra Heavy Selvedge (XHS) 25oz Denim
                                        (25oz should be soaked washed before wearing)

                                        • Turn garment inside-out.
                                        • Hand wash, or machine wash on a relatively short cycle (max 40°C/100°F) with low or no spin.
                                        • Shake/stretch item to ensure no creases before drip drying or drying flat on a clothes rack.
                                        • Do not tumble dry (this is likely to cause shrinkage and white marks).

                                          Some people choose to soak the jeans before putting in the washing machine, too. Also, avoid using detergent or fabric conditioner when you are just washing for shrinkage
