DWCxUHR - Denim World Championship Ultra Heavy Raws…
-
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!
-
@superfuzz looks like a dam good pre soak fit. Reckon you are to winner with these.
-
No @Jeansman I was asked if I had let them dry before washing, which I didn't. Straight in is local parlance.
-
@Megatron1505 . Oh yes so you were!
-
Bam. Check the comp thread for more pics.
