@moskiitto Enjoy wearing them a lot.
-
@Ikeaparty id say to just plan to lose up to 1.5”.
If you ONLY soak, there’s a chance there’s still more shrinkage after the first wash (like what happened to my XHS.)
If you wanna really get it out the way I’d say to soak + wash then send them in. If it were me though, I hem before soak and just prepare for a (up to) 1.5” loss.

@Ikeaparty stoked you like them dude. Let’s get a fit pic after the soak!
-
@Ikeaparty I cold soaked and cold washed mine before hemming. I lost 1.25”
-
They're in the tub now! Also, the tonal stitching is awesome. I have a bunch of pairs of 777s but never had an indigo/black anything, been a while since I've been this stoked about pants!
-
Quick fit check before warm soak. 34’s / unhemmed. Waist is great, hoping for the expected shrink in the top block and length.

@Denimhead-0 looks amazing already

@Denimhead-0 Nice, looks perfect just like your normal xhs 888, were they are also unhemmed?
-
@moskiitto my regular 888 xhs were hemmed for no cuff, these ones I plan to cuff.
-
@Indigo-Alchemist Thanks
-
@Denimhead-0 dialed!! Gotta love the 888s!!
-
@Denimhead-0 They are looking great. Now rock them 24-7.
-
@Denimhead-0 nailed it! Got mine in yesterday too. Very excited to rock them one the Indigo Invitational is over.
(Also never signing up for a fade competition again because I hate how limited or guilty I feel depending on what pants I decide to put on that day
) -

I like to wear too many. Was thinking about saving these for IIY6, decided to just wear everything -
Still slightly damp, definitely roomier in the top block compared to 777, didn't even try to button bottom three buttons, the higher rise feels very nice, will probably opt to hem vs cuffing but still on the fence, think once they're fully dry and settle in a bit they're gonna be prime

@1WayTrip mine too dude. For some reason mine were shipped using UPS which is a first for me. I’m used to the super quick DHL they use but it’s all good.
-
@worn2fade I have DPD here but located in the UK. Hopefully arrive tomorrow so can give a soak and start wearing!
