@MassiveThighs:

i dont think i can go back to any other brands.

Trust me, you can’t. No one can. IH is a black hole. Escape is impossible.

Great stacks!

[neph93]

Cheers! They work with kicks but are a bit long with engineers. I’m thinking about taking them to G’port for a hem…

I hemmed mine 1.5" longer than my 888s and I'm pretty pleased with the look.

No dilemma! Get some 25oz on your legs. There is nothing wrong with the 14oz, it’s great in fact. But XHS is next level denim for enthusiasts. Of course, you should score the 14oz a short while later, if only for the experience of contrast [emoji1]

[Paul9221]

I agree with Reuben.  I'm contemplating picking up a second pair because they're just so great.  Tough but soft, blue but black.  Don't miss out on these!

[Dion]

Yup, always go for the limited runs first. I think it's going to be the last batch of the XHSib denim (unless the decision is being made to make them extant). The 14 oz is going to be in continuous production (and is also great, just on a lighter level).

Got these tapered.  I think they look way better.

working on that diaper-butt.  squatting 3x/week.

[Paul9221]

I gotta admit that that doesn't look bad.

They do look way better. I got my 555 version of these jeans tapered by a tailor as well,came out great. He had to use the machine he sews leather on to do it.

I agree. I prefer 8” LO on mine and since I size for thighs on all pants I end up tapering and taking the waist in on most.

almost 3 weeks wearing these on and off.  fits me like a glove after the taper and hem.  honey comb fades starting to appear already.  i wish the rise was an inch shorter, but not bothered by it.

i can't wait for the XHS in this cut.

Some filthy 888s after a day of hard yard work before and after wash

Have you had an stretch in the waist past the pre soak measurements! I’m in between sizes and really need about 35in on the waist and the 36 I’m almost positive I won’t be happy with. I took the 888sOD in 35 fit well.

@gpag:

That might be at the outer limits of what you can expect but doable. The XHS won’t stretch as readily as the 21oz but you’ll get an at least inch from post soak. Bare in mind that these don’t shrink the whole inch in the waist. More like half an inch.

Edit: my advice would be to measure the waist of your 888S-OD as they are now, the same way IHUK measure, then work it out from there.
