1st off @Oaktavia those look fantastic! I hadn’t seen the whole shebang recently. As far as the waist, you probably just have to wear them for a week or two. Stretch em back out, chubby

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone knew how much there 555 xhs ib actually shrunk in the inseam after the first wash. I’ve had mine for about 2 months and I really don’t like cuffing them but I left myself about and inch and a half just in case. I don’t plan on washing anytime soon but I would really like to get them hemmed a bit more.
Thanks for any advice.
Peace -

PeaceYou can expect up to one inch of shrinkage in the inseam with a wash.

@Brandon510 Welcome to the forum… if you check out the assorted XHS and XHSib threads you will find a lot of documentation of shrinkage with different washing/soaking regimes. It all comes down to an inch max (often a little less).

Alright . Thanks you guys
-
These are the nicest looking pair of XHSib I’ve seen.
Coming from you, that means a lot!
It's true… I love the extended fading on the thighs and the vertical patterns. Also they aren't as high contrast as some XHS, but have lovely soft aquatic thing about them. The colour is also most excellent. Mine do not get enough wear and aren't even close to that.

Sup people. Has anyone ever had there selvedge seam gold over @ the knee? I was going to try and iron it flat so it stops annoying me. But I wanna make sure it doesn’t f up my denim. Has anyone ever done this to newish denim?
-
I’ve ironed new denim after they get twisted up in the washing machine and dryer with no issues. Just don’t iron directly on top of the denim. Make sure you have a barrier; place a towel or something on the denim before ironing and everything will be good.

My selvedge 555 XHS was rolling over as well, I ironed these with steam last night direct and no issue at all, also solid results the selvedge is laying flat now all day ;D!
