@derek111 yes!! I’d say that thigh and top block fit perfect!! Congrats!!

Not sure if you’ve hot soaked yet, but if consider going cold…this fit it money.

Do you plan to hem or cuff??

[Oaktavia]

@derek111 Hell yeah dude wear those puppies hard!!!

Classic post soak pic with a post soak fit check. Waist feels great and the length seems on point. Ready to beat these up. My dog clearly isn't as excited as me.

@derek111 money!!!

Joined the 25oz club! These jeans are so sick and I nailed the fit, perfect after the soak.

[Mizmazzle]

Well you know we’re gonna need to see the fit after the invisible man takes them off!!

[travisxray]

I made my wife take a picture haha!

[Mizmazzle]

@travisxray you’re right….you nailed the fit!! 888 is so money. Comfort and style perfectly blended.

[travisxray]

@Mizmazzle I agree, 888 is my favorite cut I’ve ever tried from any brand. I probably could’ve went down a size in these but I like the little bit of extra room. I made the mistake too many times of sizing down and stretching them out, I’d much rather be comfortable from day one. I’ve found that jeans don’t stretch nowhere near as much if you size them properly from the beginning. And I always wear a belt so my waist typically doesn’t stretch much.

@travisxray now comes the fun part!!!

This is something I have preached over the years....

Let the journey begins.. My First 888.. and yes.. O my Thumb

Thinking about putting my 555s to bed for a while and going with an 888. Was going to get bibs because I now work remotely and I can legitimately wear whatever everyday but alas they are not in stock. I train legs pretty frequently and while my 555 isn't too tight I probably only have a tiny bit of room in the thigh and I like my room in the thigh because I can actually move. So, I am going to for the 888 but I can't decide which denim except that I probably want some form of XHS or the 21od. I just can't decide.

@GardenState i'd go xhs, best denim ever man

[GardenState]

@Fades-for-future Yeah I really like the fabric on my xhs but in the 555 cut they are pain to take off at times. They seem to fade very well and pretty quickly. I thought about UHR but I hear they aren't as comfortable.

QFT

@GardenState I felt the same about XHS in the 555 cut. 888 is eons more comfortable.

[Fades for future]

@GardenState i know what you talking about man, i also got a 555 xhs but don't have any wearing probs or pain, even if they only have 10 wear days or so... Try 888 or maybe a 777 cut?

[GardenState]

@Oaktavia Awesome! I was, like many of you, obsessed with having the slimmest jeans a few years ago and because of that a few pairs of really cool fabric I've let go or just don't wear. I have a pair of No-Lots that I have to post for sale. Waiting on Josh to get back to me and then I'll pull the trigger. Here is to hope something falls into the perfect dimensions.

P.S. I'm getting old so comfort is king

[GardenState]

My pair just arrived and they're already in the hot soak. Initially tried them on and they fit a lot wider than the 555 SBGs I have but I'm sure they will shrink in a few spots and the fit will be awesome!
