Been waiting over a year for these jeans and I have done everything to find some other jeans that could take the spot of interest, but to be honest nothing comes even close. I've also checked the normal xhs in person, but even that didn't interest nearly as much as xhsib. That shiny inky navy black when brand new, and then eventually turning into high contrast due to the black weft always being there for contrast, perfect.. I believe I would prefer indigo/black easily even over xhs indigo/indigo.
Thanks for the inspiration on these jeans all of you guys who have posted, really helped a lot.

I ordered size 34 and asked for big waist. In hopes for around 34.5" measurement, Alex freeman found 34.6" for me which was perfect. And yeah the size 34, thank god I was ready to rumble right when they were released, didn't miss them luckily.
Mine were already delivered yesterday before midday, that is less than 24 hours after confirming the waist measurements, wow!

I've come to realize if jeans are not comfortable, I will simply not wear them, no matter how good they look. And I gotta say extremely happy with the fit. They don't look bad to me at least and I feel surprisingly comfortable even when they are brand new xhs.

My decision is to go for no soak, no wash, no hem, no cuff, full stack, inspired by the one and only @twin. I really enjoy stacks a lot but the heel rubbing when not wearing shoes and then breaking early is an issue. So inspired by haraki I am thinking of going with the half cuff just to save the heel rubbing, don't love the look of that but enjoy the convenience of the no rubbing and I get my stacks. But please let me know if you have other ideas.

First buttoning I took the true experience, with no tools used. At least 30min to get them fully buttoned and as a bonus blister on thumb

Thanks for the read, if you survived here. Happy to see when others get theirs as well!

This is my first flannel ever. Was never interested in flannels and even though I heard many say IH flannels are the best in the business they just never sparked anything with me. Even with the fall release video I probably just skipped the flannels section, because didn't care. Then after the watermelon starts shipping and I start to see fit posts of, I cannot believe it, it's just amazing and I need to get one.

Now that this one hit me so hard I had to go through a lot of the older release, just so I could understand that I wasn't buying into the hype. And that is the case, none of the flannels got me going except this and the pumpkin flannel.

Since I was super late with this release and it was sold out in whole Europe for my size Large, I couldn't really get one but kept on looking if angrysoulsmadrid would restock one because I they did for some other size. And just when this message pops up @robbybobby93 said in IHSH-436-RED - Ultra Heavy Flannel American Check Western Shirt - Red "The Watermelon Man":

BlackBlue loaded up a size large. Must be a return ! Here’s the link if anyone is interested !

I check angry souls madrid, and can you believe it Large is is in stock there as well! That's an insta cop and now I've had it for around week. There is just something about this. It has bit of that "ugly christmas sweater" vibe but also more orange/salmon color red that IMO is soo nice.

This was also one nice inspiration, so I knew it would nicely with green jacket:

@worn2fade Thanks for the intense story, that was fun to read. Even if the washing experience was nerve-racking, looking at the pictures you nailed the post wash fit!

@Yoprst You are in for a treat, 25oz should be right around the corner. But yeah I believe 19/21oz no plans.

@worn2fade Oh man, I was really enjoying your journey with the jacket. Was it the sizing being little on the relaxed size that made the decision of letting go of the jacket? What are you planning to replace it with?

I made python3 code for this, if you want to run, find online python compiler for example (https://www.online-python.com/) and paste the below code and run.

original_inseam = float(input("Original inseam? "))
hemmed_inseam = float(input("Hemmed inseam? "))
knee = float(input("Knee? "))
hem = float(input("Hem? "))

lower = original_inseam - 13
taper = knee - hem
tpi = taper / lower

result = hem + (original_inseam - hemmed_inseam) * tpi
print(result)

Not sure if this has been asked requested before but will do anyway. So I was looking for peacoat and when doing research of them found out that vintage ones used kersey wool before it was phased to melton wool (I assume due to cost).

Looking at modern peacoats there is no kersey wool option available. Even kersey wool jackets in general, I have noticed only one brand making them. From quick search I was unable to find out why modern kersey wool is not used, especially since what I've gathered it is basically superior to melton wool.

Thought it would be good to ask you guys since you make kersey cotton shirts and of course you have knowledge about these things.

So question why isn't kersey wool used in modern jackets? Would Iron heart make one out of it? For example the peacoat.

Interesting, there are still smaller sizes in stock at https://www.jeanswerk.ch/products/ih-634-xhsbb

Also for 666:

@Yoprst @twin possibly wears unsoaked, at least he does for the xhsib.

@Yoprst Can imagine you were very happy Great that you got these, we get to enjoy some amazing macro shots of the xhsib.

@Denimhead-0 Nice, looks perfect just like your normal xhs 888, were they are also unhemmed?

@worn2fade Yeah this would be the most logical. There is just something about the denim being unwashed and then keeping it dry. Thanks for tips though!

@worn2fade Haha, for sure love the xhsib too much. You were also big inspiration in terms of fit, since I kind of wanted to go size 35 to not feel tight anywhere, but I know that would been a mistake. I knew I could pull 34 easily since when I compare how yours fit tighter and you hammer them! So thanks for that. Also 888s look so good on you, waiting to see some 888-xhsib fit checks from you when you get them.

@Johnnyutah247 Yeah guaranteed reach, no worries @worn2fade

@worn2fade They popped for sure, sweet! Can't get enough of the xhs fades.

@worn2fade haha and thats why I asked, they can have such interesting reasons. Yeah you'll just have to embrace the wabisabi.

@worn2fade waiting to see the post wash pop. What is causing that right thigh fade?

@twin
