DWCxUHR - Denim World Championship Ultra Heavy Raws…

[superfuzz]

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.
