      @mattbags85 Also keep in mind that a tag 31 in a 634 won't necessarily have the same waist or thigh measurement as a tag 31 in the 888....its super important to go off the measurement charts for each cut, each tag size, and each new batch that is released.

      The XHS will lose .5 or more in the waist with a cold wash and line dry. But will stretch out back out and beyond up to an inch from where it was at when new.

      For my 888 XHS i sized them so that I had to suck in my belly a bit to button. They stretched out to perfection super quick.

      Many prefer to start in a comfortable spot...but the 888 can be a bit baggy in the thigh and seat to start so I think to get the best fit from the 888 to size down as much as you can.

        @mattbags85 shout out for the 777. The 555 goes hard from thigh to knee. 777 is the happy medium between the 888 and 555, and benefits from a slightly more more fitted too block than both.

          I feel like this has been answered before so apologies, but do we have a way of seeing measurements from previous restocks of a product? So I was comparing a new pair of denim that I'm interested in against one of my best fitting jeans. I just realised that the measurements I'm using are from the most recent restock, not from when I ordered. Is there a way of doing a better comparison? I could measure the pair I have, but they're stretched out so I don't think it'll help.

            @Kingmob31 It would be extremely hard to find as some products are constantly reissued and the measurements vary from batch to batch. Might be able to find something if it is a newer release, but not certain if we could find the information.

              That makes sense, thanks for the response @goosehd. I can't imagine there's too much difference between drops so should be ok to use the latest measurements, right?

                  @Kingmob31 It really is hard to say depending on the length of time between releases. Might be minimal or could be .5”. I hesitate to guess…Can you give me an idea of which jean you are looking for and when you purchased them?

                      @goosehd IH-555S-SBG bought October 2021. I'm comparing against the new IH-555S-SLBod (16oz slubby indigo overdyed black).

                            Wondering what the plan is with the Sonder Supplies stuff? Some nice items there, especially that Trophy Ranger jacket I saw at the party.

                              @Nik other than it being generally being available online as it has been for a while (except over this past weekend, until a stock check is redone), no plans

                                  @Giles Is it physically possible to open an umbrella in someone’s ass once inserted? I get it now as it’s been raining all afternoon on very narrow crowded streets here…

                                        @goosehd I'd say n=1000 should give a solid basis for statistical analysis. Just a small cohort as an exploratory study
