This should be good because you're a real photographer

Yeah it's a pain in the butt for sure. Either way I am sure your pictures will be excellent.

@sabergirl Thank you! You just taught me a new term today.

Pretty sweet @Jett129 I can see how soft they are.
@RoxRocks86 the prontos are very blue and the XHSib has a slightly black and grey cast to it. So while they are similar in color irl the XHSib is darker.
Also I wasted my time trying to shrink these. The waist is back to where is was before. It took less time to get there than it took me to soak and wash/dry them.

I've got 2 days on the jeans now and I think I have committed to wearing them. I love how the combs look set I'm. The waist stretched back out from an 18.2 to a 19 and then some. Looking at the measurements from the first page I guess they did shrink quite a bit or I don't know how to measure right. I watched the YouTube video and followed along but the sample pair that is measured in the video is very pliable and broken in. These are very rigid and the part that is supposed to be bent in half is more than an inch thick.
Measuring the waist the Self Edge way seems to subtract about .2 from the actual measurement.
I have steam ironed them a couple more times all over and the denim has that smooth even hand that I like. This denim feels like it has a different vertical texture than the regular XHS. I guess it is from the washer and dryer but the hand feels more like UHR or the 21 oz denim than regular XHS. But the iron definitely smooths and adds that sheen that I like. After being machine washed and ironed this denim is very "flaccid" and pliable compared to what it was.
I think I wore these about a month last time and gave up on them. But now they seem more comfortable and the waist is doable with a belt.

I have been ironing on the outside so they get shiny. The sheen goes away after a while but a smoother even hand is there.

Got those from a member today. Thank you Mike! Awesome pair. Finally a taper pair that fits. Lol..
-
Thank you @Neph93. Its my first 25oz pair. Very surprised of how soft they are. I guess i was expecting a thicker version of my 19oz and was sweating bullets. Nothing like that. More like a thicker 21oz. Very comfortable. I am sure Mike broke them in a bit. But they are great!
-
Nice fit on those @yannis they look super comfy. Same fit I'm going for these days
-
@BD81. Thank man. They are really comfy. I love the fit. Tapered, but also confortable.
-
Thanks man. Really looking farward to put in some time on this pair. But i agree. Phenomenal denim.
