After lusting after @Oaktavia's jeans for months, I finally pulled the trigger on these. Thanks to @Graham for helping me and putting up with my incessant questions.
Cool dude, stoked to see your fade photos as time goes on. I'm nearing my one year mark on mine to give a frame of reference. Wore them 2-3 times a week every week minus June-August months.

Good to know. I was planning on wearing them almost every day for the first month, then tapering off to something like that schedule. I figure I have until late May before I can't wear them anymore.

That's the way to do it. They are quite the chore to break in, so wearing them that often will help hasten that process. Honestly though, mine didn't feel truly comfortable until about two months ago.

Oh jezz. I sized up because of that fact. I have the "normal" 25oz ones, and wear them infrequently because they are a bit tight. If they were just a bit bigger, I wouldn't mind, so, hopefully, I dodged that bullet this time. I know I need to wear them more but it feels like a chore. Anyway, with this pair, I'm just going to force myself to wear them. I'm planing ahead.

I went TTS and they were the same measurements as another lighter pair I had, but felt much tighter due to the toughness of the denim. It was hard to cross my legs for months haha. Post some fit pics when they arrive! I can't get enough of this 555XHSib!

I get them Monday! Hopefully, I'll get some pictures by Tuesday at the latest.

An update from my pair after 8 weeks of wear. Some evo starting to manifest itself already! I'm really enjoying wearing these. I didn't find them as hard to break in as I had expected. Kneeling down to do stuff for more than a few minutes does seem to produce heightened risk of trombosis however!

True story! This too, will pass however. I don’t think the version of the XHS is quite as mean-spirited as the earlier batches of the standard XHS. Whether that is the different dyeing process, or just something with the weave, I don’t know. But bending down in 25oz slim cut jeans is always going to be interesting [emoji1]

We have the same kit dude! Awesome.

Hey @Oaktavia! Yes, I noticed that too! From top to toe: jacket, jeans, and boots. You have great taste, man!

Haha as do you. Wearing mine today!

@alexswords is right about the sun.

Wow! Looking great y’all!
I’m just clocking in on day one here. Wore them to work, might take a break tomorrow though, cuz the back of my knees are raw! I’ve never really understood the pain people describe when wearing new denim, but I fully do now.
But I’m super pleased with the fit on these. Bought em cuz I’ve always wanted this pair and I took advantage of the recent sale (do they do that every season?)
Wearing a new IHSH-176 too…
