IHXB01xUHR - Ultra Heavy Raw Beatle Busters
-
I soaked/washed them over time. My two cents would be to go for your normal size as the top block is very generous and they are already bigger than tag size to allow shrinkage. Sizing up may end up way too big even after soaking/washing.
The UHR denim is very stiff and abrasive first and it takes some time to beat it into submission but it's definitely worth it. -
Many thanks I now have 2 sizes to choose from with slightly fractional dimensions:
Waist 37.8-37.9”
Front Rise 12.3”
Rear Rise 16.5"
Thigh 13.2”
Knee 9.7”
Hem 9.2”
Inseam 37.2”The thighs on this is .2 bigger which I kind of prefer
Waist 37.6”
Front Rise 12.3”
Rear Rise 16.2”
Thigh 13”
Knee 9.7”
Hem 9.2”
Inseam 37”The waist on this is spot on but the thighs are fractionally smaller.
Any thoughts here.

Mikebarhoot did you go TTS?

yessir. yessir I did.

question: these will be crispy like cardboard correct? as opposed to the "heavy but ultra soft" of the 634s denim.
-
lol

Shipp'd. Thanks for all yer help Patrick!

sadly, the first pair were a no go. hindsight 20/20, well, hind was the issue. returned, and 2nd pair en route with ETA the 21st.
more to follow…

Got 'em. & they fit!
-
one word… crispy!
perfect fit but tight top button - (not waist). afraid to hot soak so if/when i soak...cold.
debate: wear em for a bit, then soak -or- soak and go... discuss.
obligitory pics forthcoming.

They're eventually going to shrink all the way regardless, so all cold-soaking will do is buy you time. If you're worried about the waist shrinking too much with a hot soak, you could always take a long hot shower while wearing them. Might as well get as much of the shrink over with as possible at the beginning. Plus showering in a brand new pair of raw denim jeans is a rite of passage IMHO.

Hot soaked.

Picked up my blue bag today. With both arms and a firm grip, bending with the knees not the back. You see, it contained a pair if these and an IHSH-76. Not only heavy but large and inflexible. Like carrying fekkin' plasterboard
Strangely, these are my first pair of true raw denim, having only had sanforized stuff until now.
I'm documenting the process so here's the pre soak fit:
And here's the post soak bathtub:
They're in the washing machine now. Shrinkage report in the next post.

Cool!
