6 months / 2 washes.  Love this stuff but dang it’s getting a bit hot for it.

Damn, great! makes me want to put mine on again, but yes, way too hot these days

So I soaked my pair after 6 weeks wear in June and put them away for the summer months. When I got them out this week (as the UK summer summer seems to be over in Manchester ) the waist was SUPER snug, uncomfortable. I have been enjoying a lot of pizza and red wine over the last few weeks! Anyway I bought a wooden waist stretcher from Amazon for £22. I figured the £22 was well worth the risk of it worked. So I wet the top block and with the help of a wrench I have successfully stretched them out about 3 inches!! Now they are really comfy again. Thought I’d share in case anyone else is in the same position.

3 inches? Wow! That’s quite a lot!
What is the original waist size (tag)?

[Kathrynnaomi]

They are a tag 35 and now they measure 38.5!

Yes I was very careful to keep a close eye on this. I think the UHR is pretty indestructible though!

Two months in and two soaks. Very happy with the lovely blue shades coming through.

So basically a owned these a year, almost to the day. Although not anywhere near that for wear. Had some 25oz IB and some 14oz too. If I had to guess id say almost 150-200 days?

They had 1 machine wash and 2 soaks. With the last soak being yesterday morning.

Coming along very nice[emoji41]

Looking great!

Took this pic for Insta this morning. The lighting was perfect to capture the fading properly. Currently 125 days of wear in this pair.

Saw your post on IG this morning. They are coming along really good!

Can‘t say it too often. The UHR is my favourite denim!

[neph93]

I’m loving my IH-888-UHR as the cold draws in. I mentioned this somwhere else the other day but the XHS gets deserved props for getting so soft, but the UHR does too.

[don_pipone]

Unfortunately I have never had a pair XHS but I will definitely get one someday. But first I need to wear the hell out of these.

I'm with you @don_pipone !  Though I like the 18-fond of the 14-  ::)

@neph93  the softness of broken in UHR is wonderful- I've only recently gotten into IH sanforized because I like the raw so much- the 18 raw too

[don_pipone]

150 days and counting
