@Oaktavia Thank you. Is there really a difference then in a cold vs hot soak/wash?
You are welcome. Yes, cold water with little to no agitation will cause less shrinkage than hot water with lots of agitation. Cotton fibers shrink more with heat and moving around.

@bluemantra I got just under an inch shrinkage in the inseam. I cold soaked for 45 min then put them on a 40C quick wash (about 35 min) with no spin (& no detergent). Today's the first day I've worn them properly as it's been 35C and super humid and they are more comfortable than I was expecting.

@twin epic!! And the jacket is killing my eyes by how amazing it is
-
@twin cool! Any idea on how many wears/washes?

@twin didn’t you also had the 666 in this fabric?
-

@WhiskeySandwich
seems like there’s no other option -
Making my way through this thread and now I am on the edge of buying a pair. Still available in Germany in my size, but I am already wearing a 777 21oz OD on a daily basis and now I'm wondering if they look too much the same? Don't want to have two black pairs of jeans at the same time... From the pictures the XHSib looks more like a very deep indigo instead of black. What do you think? Wait for a restock of the indigo or is the IB an okay addition to the OD?

@FlavourFade they are very different, yes the i/b is much more indigo, smooth and shiny than the OD, I own both fabrics in multiple cuts and honestly they are not even remotely similar
