IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans

[Megatron1505]

I will get some up in the next couple of days dude. I haven't been wearing them as I was planning on doing a "ride along" for the contest in them, so I have been concentrating of PIHANN7-21, which are coming along beautifully at the moment.

I pre-ordered some 35s. I have to size for my thighs and my best fitting pair is my Momotaro 0605-18 that come in around 13.6 after wear. I'm hoping that I can get close to that with the 35s post-soak (this is my first run at some un-sanforized).

What is the UHR like with multiple washes? Does it keep shrinking?

[Graeme]

I've got a pair of the 1955-UHR, and their size seems to be stable. The waist shrinks a little when washed, but stretches out. Length seems constant, and that's what I always watch out for.

[Megatron1505]

^ Agreed

[spitfiredealer]

Thanks guys.

[spitfiredealer]

A thought that has been going round my head.

Because of the extra rise does that mean I will need less room in the thigh than I usually like? For example if I want 13" for a comfy fit in 634 can I get away with say 12.6 or so in this cut?

[Giles]

Buy a pair and tell us…...

@Megatron1505  how these working out for ya?

[Megatron1505]

The fit is incredible, but alas they are still in storage awaiting colder weather.

[Matty123]

my bad. i must have missed that bit of info.

[Megatron1505]

Not a worry dude, I just have a couple of jeans that I'm really enjoying at the moment before I wear these in earnest

[spitfiredealer]

G are these going to be adjusted so they don't come out like the first run of the 21oz? With the small thigh.

[Giles]

Too late…..

[spitfiredealer]

Will need to size up then

[Jens]

Bad news about thigh meassurement..

[Matty123]

What's up with the thighs? I read back but I'm lost

[spitfiredealer]

Well the 21oz version came in smaller than planned. Sounds like this will do the same.

[Matty123]

Ah ha… I see. The shrink test showed .26 inch of shrink in the thigh. Dang I'm gonna have to size up too.

@Giles What are the odds of finding a size 30 pair with thigh measurement of 12.6 inches? Or will I need to size up?
