@worn2fade agree as long as you don’t have issues in the other areas. If the thigh is tight, it will be hard to stretch those out to pre wash measurements. Waist is relatively easy and other areas may stretch back out with time (other than inseam).

Yeah dude, that’s why I mentioned earlier that I’m going to wash my XHS this weekend to see if there’s any gnarly shrinkage. I did the initial soak on them (wearing them in the tub to avoid any excessive thigh shrinkage,) but after that first wash is when you really know lol. Hopefully I haven’t been wearing this pair for the last 6 months for nothing lol. If the shrinkage is wild, I’m definitely sizing up on this pair.

@worn2fade solid plan and best of luck. I have one pair where I got my measurements wrong and when washed became too tight. Put them on a shelf and forgot about them until one day when I gave them another chance. Still too tight, but fought them until they stretched back out. I am happy to say that my perseverance paid off and are one of my best fitting jeans.
They are the only pair of jeans that bruised my hips though…

@goosehd dang bro, I need to know which model it was that pushed you to your limits lol.
Let me guess tho.. you have yet to wash them again?
-
@worn2fade 666xhs and washed/worn numerous times over the years.
-
@goosehd and you didn’t experience the fabric shrinking the same way as the first wash?
-
@worn2fade only the first.
-
I always found that after a second or third and further washes, it tightens up after it dries but within a day or sometimes within hours its mostly stretched back out, its that first wash that is the riskiest one I find
