IH-777-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
I normally soak XHS in 50C water for an hour and give them some agitation at the beginning and end. A wash would be fine, but get them thoroughly wet first and don’t use a spin cycle.
The point of the soak is to remove shrinkage, a cold soak/wash won’t do as much as a warm one.
Some shrinkage will be fine, I guess. Would there still be more shrinkage later on with a later wash, if I just give them a soak in cold or 30C water?

Unless you only ever plan an doing a cold soak when they need a wash, the yes, absolutely.
This is why getting it all out first is the sensible move. It will stretch back to where they are now, everywhere except the inseam. It will just be uncomfortable for a couple of days. You are only talking about 0.5-1” in the waist and all denim stretches 1” after a wash.

Alright … got it
... guess a 30°C 45 minutes soak will be my go to in two weeks. I never wash my jeans any warmer than 30° anyway.Thnx for your patience

Morning, so I did soak them after wearing them for 3 weeks now. Didn‘t soak them ice cold but cooler, not really sure how warm the water was. Could have been around 30° maybe.
I was able to stretch out the waist about 0,6 cm prior to soak within those three weeks and did get about 1,4 cm shrinkage in the waist, which is about 0,8 cm tighter than when I got them. That will be like 0,5" I guess? The inseam shrank about 2,2 cm which is almost an inch I suppose.
Now they‘re actually fitting even better. Just love those jeans. It was so funny going from the 25 Oz to my 777-142ODs while I was waiting for the other one to dry out.

Thanks Jack for the help on sizing!
What do you guys think? Cuffs a little too big? Or lock and load.
Lock and load! Breaking in this denim reminded me of flossing my teeth..
…that good pain. Enjoy.

Evo is looking amazing @twin

Now the fit pics.
What is the difference between this and the other one you have? (I think is a 555xhsib)?

Could I run a quick fit check by you all? Thank you! Day 3 in these beauts - worried the thighs are too tight/hoping they stretch out a bit. No soaks for me until month 6 typically.
I’ve seen about 231 posts till here about the wonderful 777xhsib and I have to say those are the best fit pictures. Love the way it tappers on you. The only thing I don’t quite love are the back pockets. I’ll love to see them way up.

@spaniarddh The 777 fit tighter on top and have less taper in the legs. The 555 have more room on top and lots of taper in the legs. I like the fit of the 777s a little more then the 555. Next ones will be 666XHSib when 34 is back in stock. 777 fit more like the 666.
