My recommendation is to hot soak them and get it out of the way. Having said that there are people that never soak them and just wear them. Looks like you have them hemmed. Did you take into account that you will probably loose 1 inch in the inseam?

Noted. I was planning to just wear then and soak/wash later. Maybe around month 6-8. But kinda worry that it will shrink in some areas and will make the fades area shifts a bit.

And yes. I hemmed them to get a single cuff look on my boots. Plus the tailor said they gave extra 1 inch for the shrinkage portion.

I wouldn't wait 6 to 8 months before they see water. You will get some shifting for sure. Just get it out of the way is my opinion

Hahaha, yeap. Since this is my first IH, I didn’t know that even this one’s sanforized, it’s most likely not so much different with unsanforized from other brands.

What do you think about using it for 3-4 weeks then soak it after that?

@ZackB yeap. I’m going to soak it at the beginning. Thanks for the advice

And is it okay if I ask for opinion in here regarding to my 666?

I bought this one online with slim chance to try on before. So I really don’t know which type is the best for me.
If it’s okay, I really need some opinion about is it the right cut for me or not, judging from the picture.

Haven’t soak it yet, and still have some room in all areas. I think hot soak will not harm the fit, right?
I have quite big thigh measurement, that’s why I chose the 666 cut

I read all posts in this sub group topics from the starts. And still amaze that @twin break the same 777 XHsib not once but twice. And still thinking to get the third one?!

I just bought my 666 xhsib and fairly new to the brand. That’s why I try to gather as much as info possible about this beast.

@aetherist When the restock is here I will order a new pair.

Your love for xhsib, especially 777 is otherworldly, dude. Really love how you treat them.

Btw, is it just my feeling or the pockets are laying a bit too low? I usually wear my pants on my hips. Should I wear it a bit higher?

Really need some advice

Thoughts and prayer for Mike. And may Bernadette’s fine by now.
