    Quick fit check. These are my first IH XHR. I went for a 36, since I got a 634-142 in 36 and I like the fit of those.

    I like how these fit right out of the box, but I’m a little concerned because of shrinkage. At the moment I can lift my knee to about parallel. But I got rather big thighs and butt and worry that the XHR will be too restrictive after an initial soak/wash.

    Can anyone share any insights about potential shrinkage - and stretch - of the thighs and top block.

    I am not too keen to size up. The waist feels comfortable, I can sit and squat without relevant discomfort. I guess, a 38 would be far too wide in the waist.

    @JoshC that’s great news!
    Will IH Germany restock these as well?

    @Jord thanks, that sounds encouraging, too. I think I will keep them.

    @yannis I don't want to overthink it too much. I just want to make sure that they are still comfortable after washing. Because whether I do an initial soak or not, I will have to wash them at some point.
    Because that's exactly what happened with my first raw denim (Edwin Nashville - sanforised but unwashed): I washed them for the first time after six or seven months and since then they've been so tight around the thighs that I can hardly wear them any more.
    It didn’t happen with following pairs, but these were one-washed. And since I don’t have experience with this particular fabric I asked.

    But your experience gives me confidence that these will be fine. Thanks again!

    @yannis Thank you for your response. That’s less shrinkage on the thigh than I feared. Especially if there is a realistic chance that it will stretch back. I assume yours don't feel noticeably tighter now than at the beginning?

    I read about the inseam and waist. Fortunately the inseam is long enough and I am confident that the waist won’t be an issue. But as the fabric on the thigh and waistband are rotated 90 degrees to each other, I wasn't sure how the thigh would behave.
