            Damn these fade fast. I ride my bike to work three to four days a week. Whiskers are coming in strong, but also getting a heart shape on my ass from the bike seat. I'll have to post some pics.

                I love the way these jeans break in, from almost impossibly uncomfortable to sweatpants in virtually no time at all.

                  I don't know man, by noon my jeans are soaked with sweat and feel like sandpaper!

                    I'm with @fanya. I'm still more on the sandpaper vs sweatpant spectrum.  Maybe I was spoiled with the 25 oz.  These are definitely getting better, but I am counting down the days until fall 🙂

                      I haven't worn these as much as I'd like to but I put them on every chance I get… mostly weekends and after work (sitting around the apartment). I like the color and weight a lot but I'm not super into the fit. I may try to shrink them a bit more and probably get them shortened an inch when I get my first repair done. Also, I'll update my competition page sometime in the week with a couple more photos... but for now, here's this. I tried to color correct the red shirt as it looks blown out to me. I have no idea what I'm doing in lightroom.

                        Just tried mine on since the weather is getting cooler in NYC. Still tight as feck in the waist. Great fit everywhere else. Any suggestions for stretching out the waist, or just wear them and tough it out?

                          Don't have a pair of these but I reckon you just gotta wear them. My 25oz were so tight at the beginning they bruised and cut my hips but eventually stretched enough to be comfy. Have heard of people making the waist damp and wearing it till dry.

                            Yeah, I'm getting bruised and cut as well. I'm going to just push through and hope they stretch some more. I really love the denim and can't wait to see how it ages with wear!

                            I just keep wanting to wear my two year old Fullcounts which are like butter. Or my 301s.

                              Same here.. I'm 25 days in in my IHXB01xUHR and had a little stretch (0,5cm) .. My hips burn every evening. I hope i will get some more stretch with time. The UHR Denim is amazing ..

                                Just thought I'd check in. Mine stretched out to a perfect fit in the waist, snug in the waist but perfect. I just gave them a wash because they were starting to smell, and they shrunk up a little but the waist is ok. Really love these jeans.

                                    Soak them and then take a car jack. (scissor jack / widow maker) to them:

                                      I think a scissor jack my not be up to the task. Maybe a 20-ton bottle jack…

                                        Thanks for the suggestions. Just wanted to check in. After a couple months of wear these stretched and now the fit perfectly in the waist. I even gave them a machine wash and the stretch back in a couple days. So glad I stuck it out and dealt with the discomfort.
