IH-634-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black

Does the XHSib respond the same as regular XHS in regards to shrink and stretch?
I've read the "Fabric Focus" on the product description, (both state 1" shrink in length and waist at 30 deg washing) but thought i'd see if anyone had their own personal anecdotal experience to throw at the question as well... -
@Mizmazzle mine behaved the same as the regular xhs. Both are 634's. Is just a little stiffer than the regular one and less stiff than the XHSbb.

@yannis thanks brother man! Super helpful. My others are 888 XHS are the 555 XHSBB. These will be my first pair of 634....so been digging through old sizing charts trying to figure out how to play the waist on the 634 vs other cuts. My 888s, 822s, and 555's all seem to end up as a true 33" waist once broken in a bit...
Trying to think if I should account for a slightly wider waist on a lower rise being closer to the hips with the 634 (my 822s have basically the same top block and are a true 33" waist too) or just stick with my waist sizing that is congruent with my other higher rise jeans...
I love the pre- "new jeans purchase" mental gymnastics before the drop!

@Mizmazzle I actually asked the IH crew this myself earlier today. I'm a 36 in all 888 including XHS. This is gonna be my first time trying out the 634 and suggested to try 36 as well since I don't have a major true waist measurement change where this rise will hit.
-
For most people same tag size 888 and 634 will work. @Mizmazzle the 634 will fir very similar to your 822's. If you love the way your 822's fit you and I know they look great looking at the pics you posted you will be very happy with the 634.

I indeed have owned both 888 and 634 cuts and have sized the same. I am gravitating more towards 634 these days for the medium rise that I found ideal.

I'd pay a lot of money for a xhsib T3.
I'm afraid this will remain a dream: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//post/793735

@Tago-Mago I already know that but I still like to mention it once in a while
-
Got my alarms set for weds, hyped snag pair of these for the future. Looks like Been while since these have been released.
-
Looks like these aren't gonna work for me after all. Would be swimming in the 38, and the 36 would be uncomfortably tight in the waist. (Word on the street is there isn't much difference in tag sizes for this batch. At least for Tag 36.)
One day there will be a dedicated Tag 37 sneaking into the line-up. One day...!

@nurunuru a reminder that if something isn’t working for you measurement wise to drop a note to the IHUK crew once the product drops for release. They can often find something that may be closer to your ideal.

Cheers. I emailed 'em already. Very quick response. Just doesn't look like this batch'll work for me.

Something to keep in mind my indigo 634 XHS shrank 5 cm in the inseam in a 60 degree C wash.
From the website:- However, unlike most of our jeans, we have not washed the completed garment in an industrial washing machine, so some shrinkage remains
