IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans
-
Ok I like this…now I'm being talked backed in to it. The enabling is getting stronger.
-
After yesterday's mishap I had to wash the NT samples again, and man did it get all the shrink out. Learning the lesson from my last UHR jeans I put them on wet, well damp, to stretch them out a bit in waist, but it was still a wrestling match to get them on.
I found last time with UHR Denim, if you have a really tough struggle to get them on after washing then your fit should be both comfortable and solid when you've worn them a few times.

Proper fit pics of the 888-NT.
-
So does the UHR ever soften up? Does it ever get 634s soft? I know
It's not breathable. -
Yes it definitely softens, my old UHR Busters are like sweat pants.
-
Great fit pic Mega. These are going to be killer.

Cheers @summ3rhays , they came out exactly as we wanted.
@Dion , my last UHR's are super soft after a couple of years….took a while though.

I don't know why I keep asking questions. I'm ordering them regardless. They could feel
Like 60 grit for the duration and I'd still sign on. I'm a big fan of octopus -
@Megatron1505 Are you seeing similarities between this pair of UHR jeans and your last pair. Breaking in the same, wear the same, etc. Does anything stand out on this pair?
-
@jvicente86 . I'll measure them tomorrow dude, it's late and I'm drinking beer
@goosehd , I've only had a couple of wears out of them, but I can tell you a couple of things. The UHR is my favourite denim ever, and this UHR is the same as my last pair which is awesome, I would imagine they will break in and wear the same. What stands out on this pair is the cut, which is just perfect.

I just purchased the IH-888-NT deposit in size 34. Looking forward to this UHR denim in this new cut.
Now I'm wondering if I shoud get the 888S when they're released in August +/-… ???

@jvicente86 , apologies for the late reply. After two full on machine washes the thigh measures 13.8", measured the Iron Heart way.
-
^promising results for getting my bulky thighs in a 34, maybe even a 33.

I haven't committed yet because I actually have a pair of UHR on the go and no 21oz in rotation. But getting both is horribly tempting… ::)

Yes
@Giles I'm tempted to use the free hemming service, but with raw denim there's always a little bit of a gamble getting them hemmed before shrinking. It seems there's approximately 2" +/- in shrink in length in the UHR, so if I want an inseam length of 33", I should get them hemmed to 35". Maybe 35.5", to err on the longer side, rather than shorter?
Will there be any special bobbin thread color for the hem? Thanks. mpp

The dilemma for me was/is the pre-sale on the 888-NT goes thru July 18th, but the 888S won't be released for another few weeks. I'm really interested in this cut, as well as the denim given how great so many folks say it is. But I won't know if the cut is to my liking until I actually try them on. If the cut and denim are really as good as I'm expecting, this could be very close to grail jeans for me. Granted, it seems there will be an 888-UHR released at the same time the 888-NT are ready, so I could have waited for the 888S and then the get the 888-UHR if they are to my liking…. but I didn't :o
I have a suspicion the pre-sale on these 888-NT is going to be extended, but I could be wrong as I often am about such things as suspicions.
