IH-634-UHR - Ultra Heavy - Straight Cut Jean
-
Thanks @manufc10! I got these mid-Sept and have worn them more or less exclusively since then. After the initial wash/soak/shrink they've been washed roughly once a month since then. So 4 washes I'd reckon. I don't really keep track.
These are a tagged 33 and measure that. All of my Iron Hearts are currently sitting at a 33" or 33.5" waist measurement.
666D tagged 34 measure 33.5
634S-B (the overdyed ones) tagged 32 measure 33 now after some stretch.
MBB's tagged 33 measure 33.
TW666N tagged 33 measure 33.5
My actual waist measures 33".
I could easily go to a tagged 32" in these for a slimmer fit, but these fit great and were super comfortable right from the start.
Anyway, I hope this helps.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the input @den213 and @mahlon321. The only things that are holding me back is I am working on my 634 21oz pair right now (4 months of wear in to them) and the next pair I want to cop are the 14oz pair coming up for the summer. Although IIRC Giles said that they broke the loom that they used to make this 21/23oz fabric so it's possible that they will never be made again. Maybe I should just buy a pair and hold them in my closet till next winter…hmmmm...there's only two pairs left in my size.
@Giles, have you hear any more information regarding Haraki's attempt at finding another loom to make this fabric?

@manufc10 - don't sleep on the 21/23 UHR material. Its TOTALLY different than the 21oz and is the perfect contrast for the 21oz flagship to have in any collection. if I had to pick 3 denims to have from IH id would definitely be the 21/23 UHR, 21oz flagship and the 19L fabrics. All are so unique, yet characteristically Iron heart. I had to give my UHR some extra "push" with 3 soaks+washes to get them to shrink, but I'm like @mahlon321 - I just wash them often and they feel better and better every time.
Best of luck and post some pics if/wen you get a pair!

Thanks for the enabling…..I mean input @Appfaff .
-
but seriously that's good info from all of you guys and you are probably right @Appfaff, I probably shouldn't sleep on these.

Just loving my 634UHRs! They've become so soft recently, I don't want to take them off. I've worn them for (office) work most weekdays since May 2015. I didn't soak them first, but they've had quite a few washing machine washes (30C or cold, inside out and 1400 rpm spin), been worn in the bath and scrubbed once, and brushed a few times.
-
these are awesome @mahlon321 ! Just my kinda fades! Love how the UHR does vintage looking, even with the heft. Keep rocking them!
-
Yeah, these are pretty awesome [emoji4]
Side note: love that wooden floor @mahlon321 -
Shame [emoji15] that deck looks like it belongs on a movie (makes me think of westerns!)
