      @aksu I have five pairs of XHS varieties with different amounts of wear. No blowouts for me so far knocks on wood.

        @Oaktavia good to know. My jeans will allways blowout in same place (other brands too). Maybe it's a habit and bodyshape/movement thing. I suspect that lack of stretch just does it faster with xhs. Not even complaining really, just observing. I have two hands and a sewing machine afterall

          It's a body physiology thing, I have never managed to blow a crotch out in my life.

          And the 25oz is thicker than the 21 than the 19 than the 18 etc etc , so if your are prone to blowouts, it will happen all the quicker in the thicker fabric because it it causes more friction.

                Curious about the fraying around the hem. They never drag under my shoe. Would only rub against the back of my boot. I guess the heel stay is causing this fraying?

                    @Mizmazzle they do look awesome. I think it’s a by product of the heavier weight denim in general. My UHR’s have done the same thing. Lighter weights not as bad.

                      Thanks gents. Sean, I think you’re right about the heavies fraying easier. My XHSbb are fraying in the same area pretty bad too. I love these so much I want them to last as long as possible.

                      Side note: my 21oz ODs are well on their way to frayed AF as well.

                        @Mizmazzle looking good that’s a lot of wear. All mine have started fraying there from walking around with no shoes. Nothing wrong there!

                                        they fade pretty slow but look fantastic, those different kinds of blue and the brown shining through make this denim so unique 🥰

                                            Yeah man! It's so fun having a hat to fade. When it's IH it's like no other. Nothing even comes close to this level of excellence.
