They do look great,you’re going to love the denim. Excuse me for being slow,but why did it take so long to get your boots on?

[mikebarhoot]

I have no fingernails and couldn’t get purchase on the denim to raise high enough to get my feet in them.

Señor Padmore, andy chance in hell IH will bring back the lef front little pocket like on the B01s of old?

[mikebarhoot]

:). I like that pocket

[mikebarhoot]

& because IH XHS button holes need attitude adjustments…

Easier with a pair of pliers

[mikebarhoot]

Neh. I use this before putting them in. And fasten/unfasten them a couple of times before wearing. Exception was today. DOH

[mikebarhoot]

with these being sanfordized but un washed, should they be soaked or not necessary?

[sabergirl]

You will get some shrinkage when they see water. Up to an inch in waist and length. I would soak or wash.

I soak mine…

You will have to soaks or Wash at some point.

Get it out of the way now.

[mikebarhoot]

“At some point”
When they stink i will wash.

[Kasi]

Your fades will move after soaks

Your honeycombs… behind your knees good luck 

[mikebarhoot]

not really concerned about honeycombs.

Finally got out the tape measure and after a hot soak,two hot washes and two tumbles in the dryer…I’ve lost about an inch in length which also includes combs/creases,and maybe a half inch in the waist,but I was having trouble taking that measurement,as it was hard to get them to lay flat.

After one initial hot soak with lots of hand agitation and 4 weeks of wear these are starting to show some evo.  Here's a little glimpse of what fades may come with the XHSbb.
