Thanks @zhivago I'm feeling pretty badass today.

I get new gear a lot less than many on this forum, so this is a huge couple pickups for me.

Thanks @Giles

What size did you go with @jordanscollected

[vaquero357]

…@jordanscollected a lot of room to maneuver in those 888's if you know what I mean! Very comfy they will be!

[jordanscollected]

@BD81 i sized a 35 waist (hemmed to 34"). I've got a few extra lb's on me and I was too big of a wuss to fight through a 34. These are snug but it's just day 1. They'll stretch for me.

Thanks @vaquero357. they do have some extra room. super smart tapered jean that doesn't look skinny or baggy

Jeff I’m glad to see you in some XHS, man! Excellent fit, for sure.

They look real good on your first wear Jeff. Good call on the sizing. The 888 looks good on you.

Tate ochi and electric blue allover

Those are going to be great ones Mike.

I lost fifteen pounds in the past two weeks. So like I'm trying to see if I can get the waist back closer to a size 36 and give these a much needed hand-wash. They were very ripe after my activity this weekend

Steady on mate, this is a family show.

(Try taking them all the way off next time)

Don’t be… I’m laughing my ass (all the way) off.

Check the DM I sent you

Update since the last wash. I have no idea how many wear days now.

[Woohoozippy]

I'm curious if most of you folks would soak these before wearing them and if so, how hot?

These are sanforised but unwashed, so there is shrinkage in the fabric. You should soak, but you can get away with not doing it. I’m of the mind that it is the only thing to do.

As for temps, i run the the tap as hot as it goes… normally between 40 and 50C.

@neph93 is the oracle for these things, and I would do exactly the same
