@bluemantra Those look right to me and how tight I normally start with.
Are you finding your pair too loose and where are they loose? Do you wear a belt with your jeans?

I agree with @goosehd they look allright to me as well!
-
wouldn’t size down , they look great
-
@goosehd just a little in the waist. But they were pretty tight in the hips and thighs, but are loosening up there nicely. Waist hasn't stretched at all. And I use with belt. It's a 33" waist. Debating getting same in XHS when released or going down, but then the hips and thighs may be too tight
-
Sizing down on XHS is a bad idea in my experience
-
with the note these are snug in the hips and thighs and the waist looks pretty appropriate even pre-soak, i say you've sized right. Definitely do not size down. Hell, you could probably size UP if you wanted a looser more 634 fit if you hot soaked the hell of out them and wore a belt.
-
Does everyone wear their XHS in the summer too?
-
🥵 the show ends with around 20 degrees or maybe up to 23.
I only know one person that’s hard enough to wear them over the summer @Jcaz6996
-
Breaking in a pair now. Summer here Down Under. 35c+ humidity gets a bit much but high 20s are ok.
-
@bluemantra i try to wear as long as possible! Mornings are colder so sometimes i wear them till noon and then switch to shorts or so.. ut also wore them in 25 degrees celcius or more! Just do what’s comfortable for you there is no guideline or so
-
if I wore them up to 20/25 degrees I could basically only wear them 10/15 days a year, now in Italy we have 20 degrees in January/February
. This summer has been hellish and I'm afraid that the next one will be worse... patience

Air conditioning is your best friend with XHS in the summer. If I am indoors, I wear it during the hot months but not if I am outdoors for more than an hour.

Are the 21oz any more summer temp friendly compared to the XHS?
-
@bluemantra far more! Due the way 21oz has been made it’s quite breathable but the most breathable imo is the slubby denim
-
it stands to ask, @bluemantra, exactly what sort of summer temps are you thinking about? 21 is "better" than 25, but I wouldnt really call either appropriate for 90F, humid, summer days. +1 on the 16oz slubs being the best denim and also a shout out for the 17oz ducks as being good as well.
-
@pechelman I'm in Southern California. Temps where I'm at in summer months are 90+ degrees F with some 100 F days. Debating on 666 in XHS or to get the 21 oz for those summer months.
-
100F even in dry southern California is probably a little too much for me unless I'm sitting in the shade with proximity to a nice ocean breeze. There are people in South East Asia laughing at this comment who wear whatever in ridiculous to me heat and humidity.
I'll add that if you really want 21 or 25 for these temps consider sizing up or going to a 634 cut. The extra width will help circulate air around your legs and keep them from feeling sticky. Also I feel like stacks make this worse as they trap heat, so either hem or cuff them so they hang straight at or above the ankle when standing.
don’t forget to hydrate haha
