IH-888-UHR - Indigo UHR 21/23oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut

[Paul9221]

Thanks, Neph, you're awesome!  And thanks for linking to the 888-NT thread…it's like reading a novel that I can't put down

Let me just bounce my sizing thoughts off you guys real quick, then I'll shut up

I'm looking for a 32" waist and about a 12.5" thigh.  So I'm leaning towards a size 32, which, pre-soak, measures 32.5 in the waist and 13 in the thigh.  Based on the reading materials, a soak and hot wash could take that down to as much as 31.5 in the waist and about a 12.5 in the thigh.  Is that right?  But then by wearing it the waist will stretch back out to fit to my waist at around 32?

Thanks!

you should get back  to 32  in the waist

I think you will get back to 32 for sure…. and then it will stretch more. I actually wish I had sized down even further in my 888NT @Megatron1505 said something like this  “ you’ll be worried that you made a mistake choosing the smaller size and then after 3 weeks of wearing you’ll Wish you went even smaller” or something like that… but the measurement numbers gotta work of course. The IH crew will get u any measurements you need. They are the best.

[Paul9221]

Yeah, I'm leaning toward that 32…I'm a bit concerned about the front/rear rise, but the fit pics in the 888-NT threads look great.

At what point does the inseam stop shrinking?  I'm definitely going to want to hem these but I don't know how many soaks/washes they should go through before I can assume the inseam won't budge again.

For what it's worth, it took 3 washes before my 888NTs stopped shrinking. I lost 2 inches and some change in the inseam in total. I should have had the IHUK team leave 0,5 or maybe even 1 inch more to account for all that shrinkage. I don't cuff these unless i intentionally want a cropped, high water look.

If you leave 2,5 inches for shrinkage you should be fine!

That's a great tip, thanks!  I'm pretty sure that I'll pull the trigger on these soon. Been reading the threads off and on all day

These say extant. I thought UHR was no more. Did I miss something? Thanks.

We still have some of the denim, I checked last week…..

@Giles would running the UHR in a 777 cut for IHUK be completely out of the realm of possibility?

Very little is outside the realm of possibility…...

[manufc10]

Well then…I think my vote would go for that.
