@FlavourFade the Tokyo cuff always looks good! killer fit dude. my first pair of IH were the 634 in UHR, now I have some 666 & 555 but the 634 are such a classic fit. I feel like everyone needs a pair.

@scarfmace josh left Zipp right around the time I was signed as an athlete so we've never actually connected, but silca is great.

regarding my wheels, we typically do white decals for our pro riders and these came from a batch we made with out valve logos for our pros who were racing the wheels before they launched.

there is a company called Slik Graphics who have all our templates and can make custom decals for your Zipps!

here's mine set up with 40mm road slicks!

@scarfmace as the Zipp Brand Manager, seeing this post makes me really stoked! glad you are enjoying the wheels. I had the pleasure of racing on Zipp when I was a pro and now working there, I've had the pleasure of riding pretty much every Zipp wheel made since 2015. I can wholeheartedly say that of everything we've ever made since I started riding Zipp the XPLR are my favorite wheels.

@j6550 it is absolutely xhs season in Chicago haha

@goosehd that makes perfect sense! I knew the 25oz would be a beast, but until I got some I had no idea quite how much of a beast this denim is.

I’d like to credit this thread for getting me thirsty for cider and subsequently getting buzzed enough to get these 555 XHS I had sitting in a cart for weeks.

@AdamJ I’ve copped both 666S SBG and 555 XHS in the last month or so and I’m obsessed with the feel of XHS. If the XHSib come in 555 or 666 I am going to go broke haha. But seriously, I think I’d get a pair to hold until next years Invitational. I’ve been lurking in all the XHSib threads and the fades are so sick!

Is there a specific reason there’s no Type I, II, or III in XHS or UHR? Would that just be absolutely ridiculous?

@V-P did you get any noticeable shrinkage in the thighs? if so, do you feel like they stretched back out to pre-soak? that was really my only concern. current state (pre-soak) they feel pretty perfect. i'm totally capable of some discomfort en route back to a pre-soak fit!

indigo_nico

Heck yes. Wearing today at work because I was too excited to wait to soak, but I’ll give them a hot soak tonight. Loving the feel of this denim right out of the gate - especially in the frozen Chicago tundra!

Fresh pair of 555 XHS and IHG-081-ORA. Posted in the 555 XHS thread for fit advice but after a wearing around the house for a spell I think these are perfect.

Managed to get all the buttons up! Have just over a flat hand’s width in the waist. About as tight as I’d go in the knee and calve. I know I’ll get some shrink in the legs after a soak, but if what I understand about XHS to be true, the areas under “stress” will stretch back out to pre-soak? If these stretch back out to this I think I’d be spot on.
