@worn2fade Perfect fit like expected! What are your thoughts on xhs vs xhsib, now that you got to see these in person.
-
@worn2fade spot on fit
-
@1WayTrip @Denimhead-0 thanks guys!
@moskiitto man! This IB just hits different dude. That black weft is really attractive to me. I’m not
Going to lie, the tonal arcs seem a little weird to me now lol… I wouldn’t have it any other way because I love the idea of fading the denim enough for them to be visible, but I’m not used to it, especially since the rest of the denim has contrast stitching.Knowing the potential of both, I wouldn’t be able to choose one.
-
Hard to capture the color in this twilight but the fit of these are super dialed in for me, even more so then the regular xhs in the same size. Day 2 and they're already comfortable.
-
@worn2fade Good fit!!
-
-
@Phil_NYC Fantastic CPO fade!
-
@Phil_NYC is that a 292?
-
That CPO is looking awesome!
-
Just arrived…what do you think guys?
"If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space"
-
@Indigo-Alchemist perfect!
-
@Yoprst - thanks!
@worn2fade - correct, 292! One of my favorite IH items.
-
@Indigo-Alchemist Fits you the way they were meant to
-
@Indigo-Alchemist looks a good fit from here, will only improve after the first soak and with wear. As long as your comfortable then happy days. I'm on day 3 with my 666 and they are shaping up even better with every hour that passes.
-
@hjl360 thanks mate. They will nee to wait until I finished the IIY5 but I´m looking forward to something great. Have a great wear/time with your 666´s
@Yoprst thanks my friend, I hope they hug me bit in the top after a hot soak. Will follow @worn2fade ´s adive and do a hot soak but for now they need to take a rest
-
@1WayTrip Thanks! I get more compliments on that shirt than anything else I wear.

I tried 32" & 33". With the 32" I can just about do the top button up but the waist is tight. I think the biggest issue though is that the hips are tight (I can barely get my hands in the pockets). The 33" feels comfortable in the top block and will be fine if they shrink a bit with a soak. I'm thinking of keeping the 33" as they will be fine with some shrinkage from a soak/wash but if the hips shrink further on the 32" I don't think they would stretch enough to be comfortable in the hips. Is that the correct way to think about it?

I received my size 40 pair yesterday. I had the hemmed to 33.5 “
This time I didn’t want to deal with cleaning my bathtub so I just put them in the washer inside out, no spin and with the hottest water temperature setting and just hang dry afterwards.Here are the results in inches.
New:
Waist 40
Thigh 14
Knee 9.5
Leg opening 9
Length 33.5After hot wash
Waist 39
Thigh 13.5
Knee 9
Leg opening 8.5
Length 33So, pretty consistent results of exactly one inch reduction in all areas.

Yeah dude if the 32 was tight prior to soak, don’t even chance it.
