        I notice the thighs shrank a ton, more than the waist in actual shrinkage. :o

          It could be that thighs for more agitation than the waist. And TBH these jeans are hard to measure after a soak They are so stiff and difficult to lay flat.  So the numbers could be off a little.

          Maybe so. Maybe not

                Nothing to be sorry about.  I am just excited because I think I am going to replace the 666XHS that my thighs grew out of with these…I certainly wasn’t trying to give you a hard time.  No hurry.

                  Thanks man but I didn’t think you were. Im being hard on myself because I feel  I should have posted those pics by now. I’ve been given this opportunity to have these unbelievable jeans and I owe it to IH and you guys to do a good job.

                        Cool too because that is about the amount of stack I wear with a slightly smaller cuff.  This gives me a really good idea of what to expect.  Also, that color continues to grow on me.

                                Do these have black pocket bags and rear pocket linings? I love the black arcs. I know they don't do preorders but I need to buy myself a $400 voucher so I have the money ready to go as soon as they are ready.

                                @Matty123 how heavy and soft do they feel compared to the 888-NT? I'd ask vs. regular XHS but I dont think you own a pair of those.

                                  Also IDK how far along these are in the planning phase. But in lieu of the regular veg tanned ptach a black tea core patch would be pretty sick.

                                    Hey Mike, @Filthy these have regular canvas colored pocket bags, and  yes the rear pockets are lined.i thought the arcs were black as well but Giles told me they are navy. They are absolutely softer out of the bag than the NT UHR,  but not as soft as the PIH5DCS. Maybe the black yarn is a little stiffer?? Regardless they are muc softer than the NT

                                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                                          I'm fantasizing about wearing these right now. I imagine them being uncomfortable because I sized down. I'm so excited for these.

                                            A black leather patch (e.g. like on the 9666Z) and navy arcs for the 555XHSib as well have my vote, too. Note that the 21 oz SuperBlack denim is pretty rigid and can stand on its own so I imagine the XHSib is gonna be pretty tough as well. Tougher than the usual XHS.
