IH-888S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans

[Matt]

I should have asked for a larger waist among the 32s (my typical 888 size) but I got them in Sept at the party and didn’t want to bother anyone with measuring. They’re fine though.

They’re not dry yet and I also haven’t measured them before the wash. But I’ll let you know from how it feels. The cuff marks should be a good indicator.

Hey all.

I soaked and washed my UHRs. It seems like the side stitch that runs along the inside that catches the pocket and selvedge has come loose or burst. What should I do about this?

Here's a picture of the other side that is fine.

@weftyarn nice Emil you loving the UHR ?

[weftyarn]

@Jcaz6996 Absolutely love it! Stubborn fabric, but the fades are so beautiful already.

UHR is killer! @Jcaz6996 do you have a UHR? Cause i’m curious what you could do with a pair in just like 12 months

[weftyarn]

@StiffLeg I wouldn‘t worry too much to be honest Just apply some reinforcing stitches holding the two selvedge adages together, so it won‘t unravel any further. It‘s on the inside so nobody will notice the stitches anyways. That‘s my 2 Cents

[Jcaz6996]

@Heavy_blue got 2 pairs mate just haven’t got around to them yet there next though

[StiffLeg]

Otherwise, after the soak and wash I've measured the inseam to be 35.3" (down from the listed 36.5"), basically matching the dimensions of a standard pair of 888S-21. Would it be safe to hem it now?

[A Former User]

@StiffLeg there is no exact math.. how hot did you washed them? For example i washed them on 30 celcius the first time and again for the second time and a got a little extra shrinkage on the inseam at the second wash. Didn’t you as well @Daniel-San

[Daniel San]

@StiffLeg
I would definitely wash them in the machine with 40 degrees if you want to hem.
I first washed with 30 degrees and and had a little less than 1“ shrinkage. second wash 40 degrees and inseam shrink was another 1“ !
