      Did you take pre soak/wash measurements @Paul9221? I have a pair of the 666xhsbb on ice in my closet and I'm thinking I should shrink em down and add them to the rotation.

        I sure did.  Once they're dry I'll post the pre and post measurements.

        Blanket-line all the things!!!

          Alright, they're dry!

          Right-out-the-bag measurements:

          • waist: 40.6cm (15.98")

          • thigh: 32.7cm (12.87")

          • inseam: 82.8cm (32.60")

          Post hot-soak, cold delicate wash, air-dry:

          • waist: 40.4cm (15.91")

          • thigh: 32.0cm (12.60")

          • inseam: 82.1cm (32.32")

          And this is about as perfect as I could hope for.  Right out of the bag, the waist was a little narrow and the thigh a bit wide.  When I measured the waist after drying and saw that it barely moved, I was a little nervous about the thigh.  But the thigh shrank even though the waist barely did.  Perfect!

          Blanket-line all the things!!!

            Just got my pair of these in yesterday. I broke out in a full sweat, had raw thumbs, and almost gave myself a hernia trying to button the top button. Other than that… fit is on point and the best fitting black denim I’ve ever owned. I hope the 888 comes back in a super black 21oz too.

              I’m glad you got the full XHS experience. It’s what you pay the extra bucks for [emoji6]

              Seriously, congrats in a wonderful pair of jeans.

                    What’s the breathability like on these bad boys, compared to plain Jane 21oz?

                        I’ve seen it mentioned before but these things are like sweatpants made out of iron (super warm and wind proof). You’ll have to get a pair to see what that means for yourself…Just make sure you have a belt that’s up to the task  😎

                          I don't know how I missed that these are a thing. I am glad there's plenty of them in stock. I have been saving my per diem for an impulse buy.  🙂 I have $320 so far.

                              Yo Filthy, I've been focusing on my 888 XHS so these haven't gotten enough wear to show off yet. I picked them up because I was afraid they wouldn't run again, FOMO, baby! 😃

                                Yeah, I was gonna suggest they make these today and they already did. I am glad they're still here. Probably going to buy mine next week.

                                  It's shocking to me that black denim doesn't sell better. I buy it up every chance I get 🙂

                                  But I'm trying not to buy anymore jeans for a bit. I've got too much to fade as it is.  Not sure if I'll cave for that slubby stuff, though.

                                    @Filthy The denim/fabric is next level,arguably the single best most awesome black denim in the history of all mankind. How do you of all people,the self professed/original/one and only 25OZ Junkie,not own a pair of these is beyond my comprehension. Other than the fact that they’re not Indigo,maybe. Sorry, I’ve been drinking Tequila, but I do quite like them. Probably got about 50 days into them and a couple of washes. They’re great for riding for temps in the 50s,without the need for thermals or chaps. And you look cool AF when you get off the bike. They soften/break in pretty easily. I,genuinely,think IH hit it out of the park with these.

                                      I was being a recluse last year and I missed them. It's funny because the black/black 888 thread got lost in the shuffle and I thought these were only in 777/555 cuts. I feel guilty because I pestered Giles about black 25 oz denim for a while… 😄

                                      I am going to have to grab them ASAP.

                                      Oh, and enjoy your tequila bro xx
