@Jett129 yeah, so far it’s 2 for 2 on different answers, as imo the regular XHS pair is so much lighter and thinner I had to email IHUK asking if I had a mislabeled pair, they just feel like normal jeans to me.

Hi all,

I am curious if anyone that owns these also has the XHSBB and the regular XHS?

If so, do these feel stiff and thick and heavy like the BB or light and soft like the regular XHS?

I have no idea how to X-post so I just copied and pasted this from the XHSBB thread? Hope that’s ok, but since the post is about both pairs I thought I’d put it here too

I know this is all old news to everyone here but I’m new to IH and still just geeking out over everything about these so I did some comparison shots to show how different the XHSBB and the regular indigo XHS are, they’re so different I actually emailed IH wondering if I had a mislabeled pair haha. It’s so cool that the fibers being dyed different colors can create such a different feel and texture even though they’re the same weight

XHSBB have about 2 months of wear and still keep their shape when I take them off, they’re real smooth and stiff and crunchy, the XHS have 3 days of wear and they’re super soft and floppy with a rough hand, they don’t really keep their shape at all when I take them off. The BB have a much higher rise and slightly slimmer leg. It’s also hard to tell here but the back pockets on the indigo pair are way smaller, but the front pockets have wayyy more room.

This is the craziest thing though. The indigo pair is like half as thick as the BB when folded up.

Not much of a forum person but I did want to share about how excited I am about these jeans, after reading so many threads about them I was prepared for sheets of stiff iron cardboard like the XHS-BB (my first pair that I bought) but after hot soaking them and wearing them for a few hours they are so so so soft, like, one of the softest pairs of jeans I’ve ever had! It’s amazing. Everyone should own these.
