Thanks all, have a pair of 34 SBGs on the way!

Hi all - fit question. Just got mine today and there's pretty comfortable out of the bag in a 34. I'd only want the waist to loosen up slightly, but would not say they're currently tight in the waist. Is that too big? Or do you only get an inch of stretch in the waist if you're actually stretching them out that much to fit? I don't have the 33 to compare but was worried they could be too small.

Again, these are pretty comfy right now just want to make sure they won't end up being too big...

I ordered. First pair of 25 oz!

Hi all - I'm looking to get a pair of XHS IB but not sure which cut! My current two pairs of IH denim are the 634 indigo and 888 SBG. I think both look good with the boots. The 888s I think work a little better with the shoes so maybe those are a little more versatile. Obviously it's just a preference but welcome any suggestions on going 634 or 888 for the XHS! (Posting in both of these forums)

@pechelman Yeah very helpful comparison thanks! Does the big buck soften up some with wear?

@pechelman Can you say more about how the white deer differs from the big buck? Do you think they have different use cases?

How does this wear compared to say a jacket or other IH shirt? Are people wearing it over tshirt or layering over something else? Definitely interested (in natural in particular) but haven’t tried leather shirt before.

Nice @Mizmazzle! Thanks for sharing. Looks good both ways to me!

For folks who have the roughout steer chore jacket, how are you liking it? Do you find it pretty versatile to wear? And did you go true to size or size up one? I'd originally been looking at suede chore jackets but this one looks pretty nice, I like that it's not quite as long as standard for some chore jackets.

If you soak this first can it then go in the wash? Or better to hand wash to avoid any marbling?

I had some indigo transfer in my trousers so wanted to wash to hopefully stop that.

@pechelman Ok thanks so soak first in tub in warm water and then put in washing machine on warm. I couldn’t tell from previous posts if people were just soaking in tub or washing in machine or both. Yeah could use tightening up little all over and lose a little length then should be good. Thanks!

@pechelman Did you wash cold, warm or hot? Would also like to lose a little length.

Did anyone size down one from their normal IH shirt size? Wondering if that would work here vs going with normal IH size and trying to shrink down, especially in the length. I like all M measurements better than my normal L except for shoulders which seem little narrow.

I’ve got some wear in with mine now and would like to tighten up with a wash, in particular would like to lose some length. What’s the best way to do that?

Soak, hot wash and then air dry or dryer?

@neph93 You had a strategy?
