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

There is no more of this denim. We will not be remaking it. We have reduced the remainder of these jeans to USD250
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.

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.

there's a 28 in the 634uhr

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.

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!

OMG! 1 years wear, 2 soaks, 1 wash, 1 sea wash. OMG!
Probably the craziest / most unique fades I've ever seen.
