IH-666-UHR - Ultra Heavy - Devil's Fit (Slim Cut)
-
Apologies. I was a little cavalier with my original advice, and the guys are correct, you need to be careful with UHR. The washing machine is, from my experience, totally unproblematic, as long the jeans are wet through (I use the shower head), and the spin cycle is turned off or right down.
Mine were soaked twice and machine washed twice to get Max shrinkage. The combs and whiskers set regardless and the indigo falls out if you look at it too hard. And following the above method, no marbling or crease lines.

Most American top loaders beat the shit out of clothes washing in a front loader is gentler on UHR
-
Which is why US customers on average get more shrinkage than European customers, and we all get more shrinkage than Japanese customers
What do they wash clothes with in Japan. Mountain Mist and gentle breezes?

Wait, now I'm confused (might just be my reading comprehension being off)…
I always wash my denim at 40deg C. Only owned sanforized so far so I never pre washed/soaked.
Would it be safe to just only wash UHR denim at 60 deg in the machine the first time? Is it paramount to soak first and then machine wash? I don't have a proper tub and figured a hot wash inside out, no spin in a front load machine would be fine with the UHR, but is that correct?

I can't believe this, but I found a size of these at Volls.de on closeout in Germany. I'm so excited! My favorite cut in my favorite denim, and on sale.
My original pair got well worn, and were a 36w. Between washing and working out the thighs got too tight and I retired them. I'd longingly look at them from time to time. Then I thought maybe selfedge had a pair still and off of that search I found these. If anyone has a 38w that isn't getting used, I'd gladly take them off your hands.
I just bought 555-02's and haven't worn them much since I discovered these… I need more legs.

I scored these 666 UHR from eBay and they came in the mail today. I wanted to try out a looser cut. I love how cozy they are and the denim is amazing. I'm all about the thicc cuffs and plan to rock these similar to @swiss-jeansfreak and @Filthy with their big cuffs and looser fits.

Hey those will go well with the sticker I sent.
