IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
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
-
@Walery-Smirnoff how much room do you have in the waist?
-
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.
-
25 oz is still very hard. Like cardboard. Jeans new
-
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). -
thanks for the help

Good afternoon. Will soaking make the fabric softer? I understand the starch will be washed out of the fabric?
-
@Walery-Smirnoff soaking will make it a little softer, at least.. if you wanna XHS call soft
some indigo and starch will come of and make it a little softer for example. Overall the XHS is a beast and takes some time and a lot of wear to beat. -
I still have a slight panic))) Jeans stick out with a stake and I feel like a firefighter in a fire in them) At least hit them with a rolling pin
-
my size was neither 21 oz nor lighter.

I soaked mine once and I don't think they got any softer. Became softer after 2 months of wearing 5 days a week.

It's scary like that))

After soaking, the upper block will sit down a little and the landing will be slimmer

When I got mine, I warm soaked them and the top block tightened up a bit. But by the looks of yoirs you wouldn’t get enough shrinkage to make them fit as well as they should.
Also, if a size down feels a bit too tight in then waist, remember it will stretch out with some wear. I had to suck in my stomach the first week of wear in mine. They stretched perfectly and fit me amazing now.
