      @wjw sorry for the delay. I had these on the stretcher in my guest bedroom and had an out of sight out of mind moment.

      These stretched from 35” to 36.5” almost 37”. IMG_3266.jpeg

        @jordanscollected those were 35" before the soak/wash/shrink or after? And I appreciate the response

          @wjw I don't take recommended steps when i get new denim. I just wear them and get on with it. So no initial soak. These are size 35, and i believe the measured 34.8 when i received them. I always wash inside out, warm and hang dry. sometimes i put them in the tumble dryer for 10 minutes on low temp just to move things along but not induce shrinkage.

              In the morning the air temperature dropped to -20. And I'll tell you guys 25 ounces is the best choice for cold weather.

                    First 888 cut. First experience with XHS. First wear, after the first soak.

                    Need them to stretch just a touch in the waist, and also get them hemmed. But pretty pleased with how they turned out for "flying blind" with these.

                    (I guess not totally blind, I did read this thread several times to help give myself the best shot at sizing. So thanks to all who have contributed to this thread...you have helped me, and many more I'm sure, figure out sizing and how to handle these bad boys)

                          @Brodie good shit Brennan! You’re going to be floored by how much they mold and soften up with only a couple weeks of wear.

                            @flannel-slut Thanks!

                            Things were a little sketchy that first wear after the soak (they were pretty damn tight before the soak)...so I was slightly second guessing my life choices after I finally got them buttoned. But after a bit, they weren't comfortable, but they weren't uncomfortable...which was a major win in my eyes.

                            Second day, easier to get on...still not comfortable, but definitely trending in that direction. And the third day, I'd almost say they are comfortable. Once they are on, and I move just a little, they get locked into the right position on my hips...and they are totally good to go. I'm a 777 guy, so finding the right spot for these to sit took me a minute...but I think they are golden now.

                            Stoked to hear that they are only going to get better from here!

                                @maxximum I saw your fit pic and it looks like you and I might be about the same size... may I ask, what's your height and weight??

                                          I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but how does this denim compare to UHR (e.g., re breathability, comfort, fading, and shrinkage from raw)?
