@Goz I would call it, in between warm and hot soak.

I have the 634's. I put them in the bath tub for about 45 minutes on full hot water. No idea of the temperature but too hot to the hand for sure. Then I flip them inside out and put them in the washer hot cycle again No idea of the temperature and also a light spin cycle. End result lost about 0.5 of an inch in the waist, about an inch in inseam and a bit tighter at the thigh. After about 2 hours of wear they fit perfectly. My opinion is get the shrinkage out of the way instead of procrastinating.

@yannis Wow after all that they only shrunk .5 in the waist? How about the the front and back rise did you notice any shrinkage?
-
I can barely tell the difference in the rise. I didn't measure before and after but wearing them I cannot tell the difference. I dont think they shrink as much as people think. I have several HXS and all behave similarly. Now put them in the dryer and its a diffent ball game. Not that I recommend it.

Thanks everyone. Glad I didn't wear them to work today. I just tub washed these for the second time Tuesday....
-
Been wearing mine for three days-I find the more stiff than the regular indigo XHS

This is exactly what needs to happen.

Laying on towels to dry.
It's more satisfying in July.

Really digging the cut on these. But I really want to try out an 888 as well lol.

888 are my favorite, with 666 right behind.

@Denimhead-0 I may dip into the 888 if they ever re-release.
