IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut

@Giles:

It's worth a go with the soak, but I think that a hot tumble dry even inside out is dangerous with that fabric….

HOT wash 60° C or more…. no dryer, and "straighten" the fabric while wet...

Great score! The UHR is highly addictive;).

Figured it was time to get my SR pics on here. They are still crunchy and “full” - need to break the hell out of them to get them to fit better.  Relaxed in the body and snug in the waist as well lol

I wore these pretty consistently for over a year and washed them maybe 2 times

I keep repeating myself, but heck: these are the best pants in the history of mankind.

I have several of these archived in a couple of sizes and was pulling them out today in expectation of hemming.

Looks like about 2 inches of shrinkage from raw state for these, starting with a 37.5 inseam. Quite a lot.

Not a shit ton of skew really so wondering if there’s more shrinkage left.

Disclaimer:

However, I didn’t measure or compare the soaked pair when I got it so if it was longer or shorter from the factory, the above post doesn’t mean shit.

Devil’s in the details….

This is basically the UHR, right? I love that you have stocked pairs. Forward thinking at its best.

I have had two pairs of SRs and the leg twists a  Decent amount…

If the hems are not twisted, there is more shrink available.

@Giles I think I have UHR stocked pairs, but not this cut.

I have these in the Japanese version which came in a 34” inseam and the leg twist is considerable.  I hot machine washed them and air dried.  If you want twist and max shrinkage that’s what works for me.

Yeah, thanks all. These are tricky. I’m 3 hot soaks in and there’s a lot of length gone but no puckering much on the hem and the seams still seem mostly straight.

My instinct right now is to just put a cuff in and go with it without any hemming to fit, or just hem the knowing they’ll be over and cuff whatever is left.

Anything but winding up short is goal.

Cool pic after soak.
