Late joiner, but this was my first submission for indigo invitational. 5 wears pre-soak, super hot soak, 6 wears post shrinking. Loving these things. Will post some fit pics at some point.

@bluemantra grab a bucket or fill your sink with hot water make sure only the waist will hit the water let it ‘swim’ for about 20 till 30 minutes. It’s a bit of a work but hope it will do the trick..

@bluemantra I wish your fit pic actually showed the waist as it’s covered by your t-shirt. If they are already too big, they may always end up being too big and even if you can shrink them, they will stretch back out with wear and time.

This may have been one of those instances where you should have waited for the size 31 waist.

@goosehd

These were pre-soak.

[goosehd]

@bluemantra Those look right to me and how tight I normally start with.

Are you finding your pair too loose and where are they loose? Do you wear a belt with your jeans?

[A Former User]

I agree with @goosehd they look allright to me as well!

[Daniel San]

wouldn’t size down , they look great

[bluemantra]

@goosehd just a little in the waist. But they were pretty tight in the hips and thighs, but are loosening up there nicely. Waist hasn't stretched at all. And I use with belt. It's a 33" waist. Debating getting same in XHS when released or going down, but then the hips and thighs may be too tight

Sizing down on XHS is a bad idea in my experience

[pechelman]

with the note these are snug in the hips and thighs and the waist looks pretty appropriate even pre-soak, i say you've sized right. Definitely do not size down. Hell, you could probably size UP if you wanted a looser more 634 fit if you hot soaked the hell of out them and wore a belt.

[bluemantra]

Does everyone wear their XHS in the summer too?

[Daniel San]

🥵 the show ends with around 20 degrees or maybe up to 23.
I only know one person that’s hard enough to wear them over the summer @Jcaz6996

[goldstone0]

Breaking in a pair now. Summer here Down Under. 35c+ humidity gets a bit much but high 20s are ok.

@bluemantra i try to wear as long as possible! Mornings are colder so sometimes i wear them till noon and then switch to shorts or so.. ut also wore them in 25 degrees celcius or more! Just do what’s comfortable for you there is no guideline or so

[Luijim78]

if I wore them up to 20/25 degrees I could basically only wear them 10/15 days a year, now in Italy we have 20 degrees in January/February . This summer has been hellish and I'm afraid that the next one will be worse... patience ‍️, what doesn't kill us strengthens us (that's what I tell myself every time the thermometer exceeds 40 degrees )

@Luijim78 hardcore don’t forget to hydrate haha

[Luijim78]

@Heavy_blue yes yes it's a continuous drink p.s. I deeply hate the heat, I'm seriously thinking about changing country

[Oaktavia]

Air conditioning is your best friend with XHS in the summer. If I am indoors, I wear it during the hot months but not if I am outdoors for more than an hour.

[bluemantra]

Are the 21oz any more summer temp friendly compared to the XHS?

[A Former User]

@bluemantra far more! Due the way 21oz has been made it’s quite breathable but the most breathable imo is the slubby denim
