@grapefruit I have a vague memory of @Oaktavia posting side by side pics of three oh his pairs. Can’t remember if XHS was among them but pretty sure XHSib was. May be worth searching the forum

[Oaktavia]

@Tago-Mago it was, the photos has XHS, XHSib, XHSbb and XHSmb. It's in the evo of IH thread. I'll see if I can find it to link it.

Edit: found it on my Instagram:

Left to right: XHSmb, XHSbb, XHSib, XHS.

@Oaktavia May I ask, how many wears and washes on the XHSib? and after the initial soak, how long for the first wash/soak?

[Notchas]

OH YEAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[Notchas]

@Oaktavia ugh I really need that black pair !

[crollee]

@Notchas would be down for the 25oz BB to make a return as well. Can't believe it didn't sell well.

[crollee]

Does anyone know if Germany will be stocking as well?

[Tago Mago]

@crollee always best to contact them directly. This also helps them understand customer demand

Sorry- just saw this.

Here is my washing data:

Hot soak & hot wash, drip dry 10/27/24
1st soapy soak: 100 wears 4/39/25
1st machine wash: 130 wears 6/28/25
2nd: 168 wears - 9/13/25
3rd: 206 wears - 11/29/25 (photo I posted was taken around here)
4th: 244 wears- 2/16/26
5th: 256 wears- 3/9/26

If you would like to see more photographic documentation, head on over to the 888XHSib page. I have posted progress there.

[grapefruit]

hope XHSBB returns too!

[tody]

@grapefruit that is HIGHLY unlikely.

Anybody hem xhsib where the normally wouldn’t other models like xhs or 21oz
Reason i ask is cause they seem to have the longest inseam of any jeans I’ve bought from iron heart. I usually Japanese cuff my jeans and I’m scared if I Japanese cuff them they will be quite wider than the rest of my pieces.
But I’d probably only be hemming like half an inch maybe an inch. I don’t know if I should even bother. Thoughts ?

[yannis]

@mikemakuch71. Have you already soak them in hot water and washed them? Because you will lose an inch when you do that.

[mikemakuch71]

No no, I’m talking about this drop in Tuesday. When I buy them should I hem them? 36.5 inseam is way longer than most 555’s I’ve bought

[yannis]

@mikemakuch71 what do you want your end inseam to be? They will shrink 1 inch after you soak them and wash them. Those are unwashed and there is some shrinkage left. So if they are starting at 36.5 they will end around 35.5 after a soak and a wash.
