      @indigo_nico My December 2016 edition UHRs are also on about 39 days of wear since I took the labels off and started to wear them in September. They have yet to see water apart from the odd raindrop. The darker photos are probably the truest colours.IMG_20241026_0947016.jpg IMG_20241026_0945310.jpg IMG_20241026_0945012.jpg IMG_20241026_0943263.jpg IMG_20241026_0942429.jpg IMG_20241026_0941257.jpg IMG_20241026_0940391.jpg

        @Jeansman hell yeah, bet you’re stoked they are finally seeing some action. did you skip the initial soak/wash? i’ve heard its necessary with UHR so the fibers set. mine stretched back to pre-soak measurements in the waist pretty quickly and are legit perfect now. i haven’t done any wash besides the initial yet, but will likely sometime after day 60 or so. looking forward to seeing the fades!

          @indigo_nico yes: I always wear them raw for a few weeks and will them wash them for the first time. @Giles will say you need to soak them before wearing to avoid damage to the constructional stitching as the coarse fabric can cut the stitches which need to bed in. Personally, I have never had the problem.

              I’ve worn these for about 40 days. Washed after 30.

                  @Oaktavia I will. I want to give them another 20 days for a total of 60 days, maybe just depends how dirty they get. Its drywall mud so it washes out pretty easy.

                    @jmj Wow! I’ve been afraid to get paint on my pants by wearing them to work. But this may be the picture I need to get me over my fears!

                    Very cool to see these jeans being used to the most of their ability

                      I did my initial soak today. How long are you guys doing the 2nd wash for? Are you doing it hot? I might have to hand-agitate as I don't really have access to a washing machine that I trust right now unfortunately.

                        @jackdc100 After doing an initial soak in the bath I washed mine, inside out:

                        • 30c
                        • 600rpm
                        • 30mins

                        They were quite tight after this but loosened up pretty quickly. This was then my standard wash cycle each time they needed one

                        The devil is in the detail..

                            @jackdc100 I’ve never put mine in the washer and had them for years. Just tub soak and hang dry when needed. I did do an initial hot soak with as much agitation as I could get around to while doing other chores.

                                          @Oaktavia Rough estimate of 60. I’m planning on wearing them another 14 to 20 days and wash them again.

                                            Does the shrinkage on the 21/23 oz stretch back to how you bought them or should you buy to take into account the sizing after the initial soak? eg a 32” waist will shrink buy 1” after initial soak - should I buy 32” or 31”? Thanks
