Received today. For real, those buttons are tough at first!

@pacreamer have you tried the suggested method of stretching the button hole with needle nose pliers? Helps a ton!

Yeah, it totally helped!

Finally got these back from Indigo Proof!
Measurements in sanforized unwashed state
Quick pics before hot wash
Seems Rain is not only a denim wizard but time traveler as well & did alterations on these before IH sent them to me 
Machine washing them right now on hot w/spin & will dry them in the dryer on high heat for 30 min. If they’re still damp will just let them sun bathe till completely dry.
Hot wash + dryer measurements to come.
Will probably do a 2nd wash + dry when I have time to get all shrinkage out. Hoping these shrink as much or as close to regular XHS.
-
@RoxRocks86 looking so fucking awesome dude so stoked to see you wear these in your own unique way.
-
Is the one inch shrinkage pretty consistent? If so, the tag 38 in this pair looks ideal. My 555OD is 19in.

Looking good @RoxRocks86
They did a nice job at Indigo Proof. -
Thank you fellas
Here are some post wash fit pics & measurements
Idk if it’s the soft, smooth hand of the ib’s but these sure feel less intimidating to break in compared to regular XHS. Love that they’re so different.

Looking good !!
As far as fabric feeling goes , did you mean post wash smooth or pre -wash?I owned both, as far as rugged thing goes , I don’t see big different pre washed in both fabric . Both hard as nail but I see where you coming from , the black weave made it a tiny smoother. Mine still unwashed and after many months of use , still very very crunchy !!

Maybe it's like the 21oz, where that super duper double-thick weft makes all the difference.
-
Finally get to start wearing these. The knees and thighs are pretty tight, but I know they’ll loosen up. Let the good times roll!
