@cbmyles Nice! Breaking in XHS/XHSib/XHSbb is one of the joys of life if you ask me.
Personally I prefer to soak (and sometimes even wash) right away to get the shrink sorted out from the start. But I've also waited a bit and that worked out fine as well.

@JunkPants put em in a warm soak late last night and agitated them a bit. will report back with post-soak measurments when they're dry. kinda want to put them on a little damp but I might just let them fully dry and take accurate measurements. also will mink oil the patch before wear

ETA September per IH during yesterday's live stream. Ima start collecting cans on the side of the road if I have to

thanks twin! so I've worn them about 3 weeks...moving apartments, mowing the lawn, working on the car and wearing them to work. decided to give them a proper machine wash (cold/gentle/top load no agitator/hang dry) and here are the post wash measurements and fit pics-----
Waist: 16.25"
Front Rise: 10.25"
Back Rise: 15.1"
Thigh: 11.5"
Knee: 7.25"

That's a beautiful hem right there. 7-7.5" is
What what's the original hem @cbmyles ? Nevermind! I scrolled up lol -
@CosmoSix5 yeah originally 7.25"! I've been busting on these for a few months now and they're coming along nice
really trying to get them to 6 months before another wash. we'll see lolI just got a pair of the 19oz lht 555 sized up to 33 for this upcoming winter aswell
-
@cbmyles patiently waiting for a restock. Hopefully this fall. Mtl I'll buy and wear for a few months and get the shrink over. Then I'll be sending them to Railcar denim for a nice tapering. My waist (35,36 depending) have 8+" hem's. Who knows though, this run may be different.
