@Lowlander Wow! And I love the yearly updates.

Any restock horizon for these? Seeing hints of some regular indigo XHS coming in Jan/Feb! ️

[AdamJ]

@CosmoSix5 fabric in production at the mo, will be a long way behind the regular indigo XHS

for real, those fades are incredible and the dedication to the one pair is admirable.

Just snagged the last pair in my size off the site. Never done 25 oz but I have a couple pairs of 21 oz. Just how much stiffer and longer of a break in period are these? How long should I plan for it to suck before it doesn’t suck

[Lowlander]

@chillmonroe Don't worry! If you got the right fit, they'll feel comfortable soon enough, though it does take longer than with the 21 oz denim. Congrats on snagging a pair of great XHS!

[chillmonroe]

@goosehd how long should the soak + agitation be for this to be effective?

[Alex]

@chillmonroe you should soak them in the bath tub for around 30-60mins to ensure they are totally wet, then you can put them in the washing machine on a hand wash cycle, 30degreeC, 600 or less RPM

Thanks @Alex . One more question. Details say the waist will shrink one inch but also that it’ll stretch one inch. So in the end, the waist measurement will end up the same as it is brand new? It’s a bit confusing. I asked for hemming but now second guessing in case the waist doesn’t fit right

[Alex]

@chillmonroe Shrinkage is not an exact science.. Where are you based? UK, perhaps based on the time it is and you being active? If so, I would be taking them unhemmed, washing them as per above, wearing them cuffed for a week or two, then sending them back for hemming

[chillmonroe]

@Alex no, I’m in the US, I just have little kids that keep me up all night

I was more curious about waist fit though. I need an actual 31” inch waist, so I bought tag size 31, 32.2” in the size guide.

Details say approx 1” of shrinkage, then they also it’ll stretch out approx 1” with wear. So like, it’ll shrink an inch but then stretch out an inch and the waist should end up at approx 32.2”?

[Alex]

@chillmonroe yes that’s correct.

[chillmonroe]

@Alex ah ok cool. Appreciate it!

[V-P]

When can we hope for a restock of these?

@V-P according to @Alex the material is in production with no ETD yet.
