DWCxUHR - Denim World Championship Ultra Heavy Raws…

It begins….

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.

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.

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!

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

[Megatron1505]

No @Jeansman I was asked if I had let them dry before washing, which I didn't. Straight in is local parlance.

[Jeansman]

@Megatron1505 . Oh yes so you were!

[summ3rhays]

Bam.  Check the comp thread for more pics.

[superfuzz]

@spitfiredealer Thanks! I'm really happy with the fit. As long as I can deal with the waist they should be perfect!

@summ3rhays Great fit! After seeing the wear on your MBB, I can't wait to see what you do with the UHR denim.

Very enjoyable posts that remind me of when I got my 666UHR last Oct, my first ever heavy raw jeans. It was a time of uncertainty, anticipation and small pains and rewards - truly an awesome experience and looking back at these pictures brings it all back [emoji4]
The denim is truly spectacular and should yield great stuff in the competition IMO [emoji106]

@summ3rhays:

Bam.

BOOM…

@Megatron1505. Thanks
@superfuzz I found that buttoning and unbuttoning them a couple of times before you put them on works wonders. Got them on a 2nd time today no problem.
@skaterpunk437 I'm a size 34 tagged, and these are the best I can do. I live in a cave, no light, no mirrors. I might possibly be a vampire…
