DWCxUHR - Denim World Championship Ultra Heavy Raws…
-
Just got these bad guys in today and man are they stiff I was not expecting them to be as difficult as they were to put on and especially button afraid to soak them lol thinking if I should have sized up or what they fit good now pre soak and the waist is good but it feels snug I'm thinking more from the stiffness of the material thoughts before the soak?
-
@superfuzz thanks! Mine should be in tomorrow! Hopefully they are lose enough that I won't mind giving them the full wash.

I got my 555-03s nice and broken in to where they are comfortable to wear over the past 2 days.
So I decided to take a crack at these today. The UHR denim is really amazing. Pics don't really do 'em justice. They have to be seen to be believed. The indigo is a much deeper shade than I had anticipated. It feels scratchy and stiff with an awesome flannely/hairy soft hand above all the scratchiness. I gave them a 4 hour hot soak and have yet to be able to button up the 2nd to the last button.
These are really outstanding, and a great follow-up to the 25 oz. denim I've been wearing for the last year. The Iron Heart crew definitely has my unyielding respect and admiration. Thanks a lot.

Great description @FilthyBloodJunkie , my battle begins with a soak and a wash this evening.
-
@FilthyBloodJunkie Hope those top buttons work out for you!
@Megatron1505 If UPS doesn't f-up I'm on the same battle sched.
-
@FilthyBloodJunkie hey any chance of some full fit pics and size? just curious to see full fit
-
It begins….
-
Xpost from the comp thread. Man am i excited to try these on. I forgot how big of a struggle it is to button / unbutton new super heave jawns.
Bam! Thanks for the quick shipping and hemming my contest jeans Stubborn crew. It might be tomorrow before I can soak them, but I'm definitely going to try them on today.

I am following the instructions to the letter. My pre soak fit was pretty tight so I'm picturing insane pain with these….might have to drop a few pounds before I can wear them in anger.

Indigo bleed massacre (good name for a band) in my bathroom.
-
Lol great band name …. and fit pics???
-
Not in their current (wet) state.
-
10-4 are you letting dry before machine wash?
-
No, straight in. I can't see it making any difference.
-
No @Megatron1505 ! Straight in is no soak, no wash, no nothing!
That's what I did with my 634 UHRs on Sunday - I'm still a bit sore, mind you!
@Giles will caution against this, though as the denim is so abrasive it can cut the stitching! The overall first try of those UHRs made me check stock levels, though - if I've found the perfect pair of jeans I will need a pair in reserve! The 1955 UHRs are coming on nicely and I like the 666 UHRs too…but the lack of an orange arcuate meant the DWC variant didn't appeal to me!
