Do you wear any XHS regularly? If not what's your favorite denim weight?

[Mizmazzle]

@Giles i have a question about the 555 and the 888 cut.

I have one of each and the thigh, knee, and leg opening are pretty much identical. However, the 555 does feel a bit slimmer still. I’m wondering if this is in my head or does the pattern make a difference still even though those measurements are the same…

I have some XHS, but I don't wear it a lot. I have no favourite denim weight, I wear a new pair of jeans when a new denim comes out and wear them for about a year until a new denim is released. If a new denim is available, I wear one I have not worn before. So I have worn just about everthing between 13.5 and 25 and they all my favourite at the time.

Scratch that, the original 18oz raw I specced....

[Giles]

They look pretty different to me.....

[popvulture]

@Giles yep, that 18oz raw was the best!

[Mizmazzle]

@Giles yes. I totally understand how they are very different cuts and a side by side comparison of the two in roughly the same size should be unique to their individual cut styling.

What I’m wondering though, is if two pair (888 & 555) do happen to have the same thigh, knee and leg opening measurement, (but possibly a different tag size) would the leg be the same in the two pairs or would the 555 somehow still manage a slimmer profile even if those measurements were the same?

[Matt]

@popvulture @Giles i have a pair of og 18oz Busters I got from @ROman that I’ve only just started to wear. I consider myself very fortunate to have a fresh pair so long after they went extinct. The og 18 made the best OD imo as well. Even though they were about two sizes smaller than tag.

[SKT]

I’m asking for a rule that you guys can’t talk about the original 18 oz raw … where are my moderators!?

[goosehd]

@SKT …on your own for this one. I too, wish they made a comeback.
