@Daniel-San a huge hole mate it’s really pissed me off to be honest, my tool pouch rubs on it it’s going in for repair with the main man @JoshC that’s the only reason I’ve washed them
I need to think of something to prevent it happening again, at the moment I keep putting black tape over it to stop it getting worse. It’s like I need something like a piece of material to go on my belt to drop down that side .

@hoppy_IPA Thanks bud appreciate that

So I used to be terrified of cuts called “super slim”, as I have big thighs and shyed away from them until I saw measurements of this 555. It is exactly what I am looking for as my bottom half legs aren’t as bulky as my top half. I usually wear the 634 or the 888 but wanted more of a taper down.
Waist is like .75” too big but I think a soak will get these just right:

@MassiveThighs hey brother man. Just my 2 cents, but that waist might be a touch too big. It will shrink a bit with a wash but it’s also going to stretch out again and then some.
My inclination would be to start with a waist that fits right about where you want it. Then after a wash it tightens up some then stretches back out with wear for a perfect fit.
That’s just my way of going about it. I like my jeans to fit nicely without the need for a belt. Even though I still wear a belt cause I like them.

@MassiveThighs Miz is right — I’d go a size down. They’ll definitely shrink but the waist will probably go right back to where it is now.
-
Ill try that thanks!

I'm on the same boat. I bought mine before months. Waist was perfect (and hips too tight), but now there's a thumb space. I listed it at sales area because I don't want to end up with a 400$ loose pair of jeans, but also wonder what will happen with a hot soak (2-3 hours in hottest tap water 70°C - 80°C) and a 60°C machine wash....

For what it’s worth @MassiveThighs i disagree with the majority here. I think that fit looks perfect through the seat and thighs, and a size down probably isn’t going to be comfortable. I have had sized down XHS and I didn’t wear them as much because the tight thighs and waist restricted my movement and made sitting down no fun. Just wear a belt and you’re on the way to comfiest jeans of your life with that fit!

@Mizmazzle @popvulture Great advice gentlemen!! @MassiveThighs In agreement! When sizing XHS, buy them to fit the waist the way you like as they will shrink with wash but stretch back out with wear. The only areas to be concerned with are the legs (thighs, calves, etc.). The area lost in shrinkage will just about be impossible to gain back.
