Looks like very tiny jeans in a nice sink. Haha

@kelton:

Little update on my pair. About 5 months worth of wear here. Been wearing them extra hard lately-taking them hiking and mountain biking (still a bit of mud on them in these pics lol). Falling in love with them more and more every day!

This is what I’m talking about! You resurrected the thread, I think

I'm in! I'm guessing that since I got the 888 XHSib, and the 888s in 31 (thanks for the guidance on those 21oz, everyone. I thought I would need 32 but the 31s stretched perfectly in the waist) that 31 is the right call with these bad boys.

Gonna have the unholy trinity of the 888s.

Hi Kasi! You’re one of the reasons I experiment so much with these heavyweight denims. Seems we have a similar build too. These are the 32 and I basically boiled them twice. I’m going rogue since I have 21 oz 777 and these 32s, and I always have other pairs of IH to swap in. I love the UHR. I love the way the 31s fit this morning without a soak. I’m doing it. Dry. Worst case is, I hang these in the closet until I quit doing squats. I’ll post some updates on my misadventures. I’m going to say a quick prayer to Ruedi and get on with my potentially bad decision.

Sabergirl, I appreciate you so much. I also have the 888s and I had them tapered but they still feel like my dad’s jeans. I’m 51 so that doesn’t make sense but here we are. The only cuts I can’t work are the  boot cut and straight leg numbers.

Hi, sorry about the pic focus. Am I kidding myself with this size? These are 30, and my 32s feel way too big now that I've worn them in. Room in the waist and rise is good but the thighs are snug. Maybe cold soak? Anyone going dry with these?
