      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.

      After slaving away for much too long on the IH site I think these are the jeans for me (finally, maybe) because all the measurements will work great.  Especially since you said you didn't notice any shrinkage in the thigh.

      Does that seem to be the trend with this run of the UHR?  The inseam shrinks but the thigh and waist remain mostly unchanged?  I'd like the waist to shrink, just not the thigh.

      I'm sure other people will chime in, but I wanted to add that mine haven't been washed. I soaked mine in warm water. You could always soak with them on if you are concerned about shrinkage.

        My Experience with the (old mind you) UHR was that the thighs never really shrank.  When I would hot wash, the waist would shrink but would stretch back rather quickly. My inseam did see shrinkage but not more than 2" or so. And I was an avid hot washer. My suggestion would not be to size up and try to shrink the waist. It left the top block very baggy on my pair.  I would size pretty much how you want them to fit raw as the shrinkage can be as little as you want with a cold soak.

        Hope that helps

            Oh damn! This is a steal. I'd buy another pair in 36 if they hadn't already sold out.

              Feck, these don't fit me well at all. They're not even close to resemble the fit of my current pair of 666 (same size, 29)..

                Chunky and oversized? That's what happened with my UHR BB's. Found them very different to my previous BB's in the SBG. I got over it wore them a bit and once they relaxed I was happier with them. But they don't "feel" or look the same. They work for me as a relaxed alternative to my other closer fitting bottoms. Have you soaked them yet?

                  Definitely chunky and oversized. The thing is, the measurements all looked fine except for the rear rise which was a bit longer than I'd prefer. But they just feel too big. Even the waist which should be spot on. Not tight at all.

                  I have not soaked them, but they are hemmed. Will probably put them up for sale. They might do well after a hot wash though. I'll get some pics in daylight tomorrow!

                    More or less what happened to me, except I was planning on getting more all round shrinkage than I did.

                    My experience is, you get some shrinkage in the waist, a decent amount in the inseam, but that's it. Thigh, hem and rise stay about the same.

                    Like I said, I was disappointed at first, but the denim is so nice, and when they softened they looked a lot less funky. Now I enjoy them. Hope it works out for you, definitely get some pics up. It was G and tmg's encouragement that got me to persevere with ny pair. Glad I did now.

                      The thing I've got going for me is that they're still a tag29, so at least they won't swallow a pair of boots if I decide to keep them haha. What I find the most disappointing though is the top block in general. The 666 is suppose to have a tight fitting top block, and my 666-BKs are nice and tight in that area. Which I really like!

                      We'll see. The denim is the best I've ever handled though. Up there with Eternal 811.

                        Aight, here are some crappy pictures. Don't think we'll enjoy any daylight today haha, all foggy outside so they turned out a bit dark. Drop the hammer, boys. Sell or keep? There's a lot of fabric in the general hip area, the front and back seat.

                          No soak yet? The front looks ok, will be better when it settles. The silhouette from the side looks good, but the back , not so much. Looks to me like you could actually size down, have a hot soak and be fine. How are the W28 measurements? And are there any left?

                            Not soaked them yet. They didn't even make them in tag28, and all sizes are gone now. Leaning towards selling them, since they've been hemmed I can't return them. But I'd also like somebodys expert opinion on what a 60 degree wash would do.

                            Appreciate your input @neph93! As always.

                              I think they're way too big as well. A hot wash will shrink them a lot in length but not enough in the top block I'm afraid.

                                  I have had good results with 60c washes (and 90c, but most people suggest not doing that), but not with this denim. It seems like selling them is your best bet, but if nobody bites you may as well give the hot wash a try. Nothing to lose at that point.

                                    I ended up giving my UHR bb's the 60C treatment. I don't think you'll get the shrinkage you want judging by my experience, but it'll improve matters some. Like the good Dr. Babyhorse says, if you can't flip them, you have nothing to lose.

                                            Holy shit guys, I got my hands on a pair of these through the forum and I am utterly blown away. I thought I would strictly be an XHS guy, but these have really impressed me. Also, my first pair of 666 cut denim and while I prefer more hem width, I do like everything else about the cut.

                                            I'll try to post some pics soon, but wow!

                                            You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.
