IH-666-UHR - Ultra Heavy - Devil's Fit (Slim Cut)

[DennisEspunkt]

Hey guys, i've got an IH-666 UHR. Pretty Heavy pair of Denim! Do you guys have any experiences how long it will approx take until it's broken in. It's my first pair of Denim which is over 14oz and it seems kind of hard and fits tight so i have to keep the first button open.
By the way i soaked it ones in cold water, so it shrinked a bit. Will the waist stretch back? Seems like it will be a hard piece of work! Thanks for your help!

My experience of the UHR is that it doesn't take that long to break in (compared with the XHS), maybe a couple of weeks hard wear. They'll certainly stretch out after wear but if you've only cold soaked them there will be more shrinkage with a hot wash.

@DennisEspunkt

Like Neph says, with some perseverance they will start to soften and stretch but be wary that there may still still be some shrinkage left in them so it'll be worth wearing them for as long as possible before giving them another wash/soak.

The new 21/23oz UHR denim is very similar to previous - was woven on an older loom with a very slightly looser weave.  Basically it's the same denim but the sizing on these is coming up pretty different from the last run, so the sizing chart and photos on the 666-UHR webpage are being updated.

Yes. The thigh and rear rise were perfect for me in this batch. I really like them.

They do look very nice indeed. Much in the way of shrinkage? I was slightly dissappointed by how little the (old batch) UHR shrank.

I didn't measure, but it was only noticeable to me in the inseam. Waist and thighs stayed pretty much the same.

^ that was my experience with the old batch too. Thanks.

[Dion]

Seconded. Besides the inseam everything else stayed the same on my UHR as well. Pretty surprisingly.

I wish you guys had this in the 777 cut so bad. I need some bullet proof pants and all the fades I've seen of the UHR fabric are crazy

[Sam]

@IndigoNoob I believe we are making the 777-UHR but exclusively for Pronto in Thailand. So there's hope for you… 

[IndigoNoob]

@Sam guess I'll have to make a trip over to Thailand

[Peter]

@Sam and @Giles - are the 777-UHR still going to be available from other retailers post Pronto? I've got a vague memory of this.

[Giles]

No plans…..
