Whoops, I meant the weft is double twisted, I have updated my original post.....
And it’s not even close. Especially after a few wears, just no comparison. IH 25oz are way more comfortable.
I will say for those considering the 25oz (I have the 888 one) and it goes without saying, is that the initial try on with buttoning may have you regretting your decision. Super rough. And so are the first several wears. Persevere. They become awesome.
Choice of underwear becomes monumental hahaha. If you have too much material in the upper thigh, that material will settle all up in your lower intestines by day’s end. I ride my bike to work and learned the hard way loool. I’m wearing them now at work as the weather has cooled here. Just amazing.

@Oaktavia Unbelievable
Believe it brother, just need to wear them suckers hard and wear them a lot. Coming up on a year of wear but 250 days exactly.
-
Those creases on yours are other worldly, seriously. How soft are they? I can only imagine.
I’ll wear the shit out of these this winter. I probably have worn them 25-30 times
-
@drewfonse they're comfortable and broken in feeling. Not sure how soft compared to a new pair, I'd have to have them side by side.

-
@JunkPants thanks dude I'm pretty happy with how they turned out over the year.
-
@Oaktavia As you should be!
Are you all in on the 634 now or will it be back to the 888 in the future?(Personally I seem to enjoy pretty much all the cuts, while others are more locked in with a specific one)
-
@JunkPants I'm back to the 888s for the next couple years. I am going to rotate a pair of 888UHR and 888XHSib.

@JunkPants yes that's where i was at for a while. I usually stick with one pair for a year and rotate a little bit and move on after a year. Typical to lots of denim heads out there. But this time I want to try to double it up with the UHR. I figured in two years I'll have both faded pretty well and why not just do both at the same time instead of one at a time.
-
@Oaktavia Sounds like a good plan. Especially with your high speed fading!
Like @Tago-Mago, in particular looking forward to seeing your UHRs when the time comes

Somehow didn't see this before. The UHR are developing already. I'll keep you posted

I'm at 22 wears with the UHR and 3 wears with XHSib today. I'll catch up my XHSib and once I get to around 30 each, I'll make a big post.

First day wearing them. Got a hot presoak and wash in last night & taking them for a spin today. Already madly in love with these, gonna beat the crap out of them this winter.
Many thanks to @Oaktavia for his kindness in taking a fledging under his wing and putting up with all my various questions via DM. Got everything perfectly as I wanted because of him!
-
@freepickin fit looks perfect man and now they are primed and ready to break in. One of the best jeans out there if you are after beautiful fades. Just takes time and some effort.
