DWCxUHR - Denim World Championship Ultra Heavy Raws…

[_MUGATU_]

I work in the wastewater field so I have to think that I will be washing/soaking more often than most others will.

[Broark]

Part of me wishes I would've gotten a pair of these seeing how nicely they came out.
The other half of me says thanks since it's already in the mid 80's here.

@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.

[superfuzz]

@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

[Megatron1505]

It begins….

[superfuzz]

Just got mine. Took a while to button them up pre-soak. And the high rise is takes a little getting used to. I think if I sized up then they would be too relaxed of a fit. My waist is going to hate me.

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.

@summ3rhays:

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.

@Megatron1505:

It begins….

Nice is that a cold soak as recommended or did you go for hot?

[superfuzz]

Here's a pre-soak pic. I went with my regular size 28. I think they will be great after they shrink up a bit, although the waist is going to be a killer!

[Megatron1505]

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.

[Megatron1505]

Indigo bleed massacre (good name for a band) in my bathroom.

[skaterpunk437]

Lol great band name …. and fit pics???

[Megatron1505]

Not in their current (wet) state.

[skaterpunk437]

10-4 are you letting dry before machine wash?

[Megatron1505]

No, straight in. I can't see it making any difference.

[Jeansman]

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!

[spitfiredealer]

@superfuzz looks like a dam good pre soak fit. Reckon you are to winner with these.
