Varies greatly depending on how many pairs make it through QC, how many retailers are getting them etc.

Ok i will try to make this the last question. I know in the description it says "could shrink up to one inch" does this mean that if i wash on hot water they will shrink that much? Does anyone have any experience with shrinkage in this pair?

If you cold wash and hang dry… shrinkage will be negligible. I buy all my IH jeans so they fit like I want prior to a wash. Then just cold wash in the machine and hang dry. Worked so far for me. They will actually stretch out a bit bigger than new.

read my previous post on page 121

Page numbers are irrelevant, the number of posts viewable per page is a user-defined variable.

Shrinkage is not a science, in general, stuff shrinks more in the US than it does in Europe than it does in Japan.  This is due to different washing methods.

If you scour all the XHS threads (as I once did) you’ll see a variance in reported shrinkage from very little up to an inch. It seems most people fall around .5”. The variations can be attributed to differences in washing machines, soaking times, temperatures, amount of agitation/machine rpm’s and so on.

One rule of thumb with the XHS is that with shrinkage and subsequent wear they should end up a little bigger than starting measurements (but not much).

My s510xx are tagged 34 they measure a little over 35 after 7 months and 3 or 4 washes. What size would you guys go with in the 634-xhs

[neph93]

If you’re happy with the 35” waist I’d go with a starting waist of between 34” and 34.5”. It’ll drop down with the hot soak and stretch an inch with wear.

What kind of thigh measurements do you need?

[BD81]

I climb ladders for 3/4 of the year and i lift a bit so my actual thigh is 25 inches but i like a bit of room in my jeans that's why i was wondering about shrinkage. 34 or 35 is what i was thinking.

Captain indecisive lol

Just wait for their restock and maybe it will have slightly different measurements that will work in your favour.

Little update for you guys. Worn these basically non stop since last post. Washed twice, would have been less but I spilled an entire pot of coffee on them at work. I don’t really mind though since the fades are coming in quite nice.

@Dystopia  Nice! What size are they? Nice shirt too
