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:

Haven't been wearing these too much in the summer but they getting time also. Really enjoying the xhsib when wearing them.

Was quite surprised on one leg the half cuff has busted from the inside, even though I empty them out after each wear. My theory is because it is only half cuffed, there is maybe a bit of room for small stones to move around.

@AdamJ @FlavourFade My only thing I was wondering, was the stiffness. Dare I say I was expecting it to be even stiffer. See here Lowlander's very old version of this I believe in the non-fade fabric but heavily used:

@Lowlander said in IHSH-361-BLK - 16oz Non-Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Superblack (Fades To Grey):

And it's still as stiff as cardboard; it can practically stand on its own:

I can get it to that level brand new:

Or maybe xhsib and lefty's stiffness has just made everything else feel soft

In theory will be:
Original inseam? 36.5
Hemmed inseam? 34
Knee? 8.5
Hem? 8.0

@CosmoSix5 had to wear mine also due to your post!

@RamblinRich just as an example of recent 888-xhsib tag 34 was 34.2" waist. Both me and worn2fade asked for big waist and got 34.6".

@MQR Checked your progression from instagram. I think this is good example for @worn2fade . Feels like almost nothing happening for first 6 months, then all the sudden indigo just starts falling off.

Now they are looking so good, amazing work.

You are now right on the edge

@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!
