I’m really thinking to get the 888 version. But really don’t know if this fit will good to me or not.

Golden hour fades thinking about Filthy a lot today. I wish he could see my pants. He loved XHSib so much. I love rereading his posts in the 634XHSib pages. His passion for heavyweight Iron Heart denim is so inspirational, still to this day. He is the one who got me into the Merz B Schwanen 14oz tshirts, which I am also wearing today. I hope he can see these images somewhere out there in the ether.

@Oaktavia you’re keeping Mike alive with this story.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle heck yeah, I hope so buddy.

@Oaktavia you're definitely convincing me to pick these up. How much do they shrink? How close should the measurements be to others of the same cut? Thanks.

That's great to hear, they are the best choice in denim in my opinion. They shrink some but I am not usually good at answering shrinkage questions. I don't measure my jeans before and after, or much at all for that matter. There are definitely some folks who will see your question and help you on here though.

158 wears, just one day ahead of my UHR.
