@Alex:

21/23

Are you guys still deciding on weight? I remember Giles mentioning they would be lighter, around 18oz.

[Alex]

No, the UHR denim is 21oz when raw and 23oz once soaked. There is another, lighter raw denim in the works too

I’ve been lucky enough to snag the 555 UHR sample. I received them yesterday opened them up after I finished work and they didn’t disappoint like anything IH produce is out of this world  incredible detail and craftsmanship is spot on.

Hoping to get the initial soak out the way this evening ready to start putting these through there paces tomorrow.

I’ll be logging hours/days worn
And posting updates on here along the way.

I’ll upload pre/post soak measurements tomorrow

UHR is such an incredible denim.  Hoping for a pair of the 888's

@AdamJ:

Old vs New (sample)

Is that my old pair of IH-888-UHR? They look familiar…

What is the difference between the UHR and the XHS? Would be interested to know.

Weight, hand, weave, colour, shrinkage, evo… they’re as different as two pairs of five pocket indigo denim jeans can be.

[Jcaz6996]

With the initial soak out the way and Day 1 over and done with I can say these UHR feel incredible after wearing 555-XHSIB & XHS for the past 18 months which take some breaking in these feel comfortable
Fit feels quite similar to my 555s-SBG not as soft but pretty close.

[neph93]

What a great fit!

[J-IV]

Agreed, the fit looks close good!
Crazy to see some indigo fades peaking through already.

[Jcaz6996]

Cheers @neph93
tad big in the waist but apart from that

I thought the same 30min ride on my HD to get to tintern abbey where the pics taken a coffee & some cake with the family and a ride back.

@Jcaz6996 seeing how you have some of the best fades I've ever seen… I'm glad to see you have the sample. They look great on ya.

[Jcaz6996]

@Filthy thanks bud really appreciate it

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

You planning on washing them in a machine ever? My last pair of UHR I soaked three times but I never washed them in the washer.

[Jcaz6996]

No pal I’ll just soak in the tub or a wash with samurai soap when the times right .

[weftyarn]

What a score, @Jcaz6996 ! Looking forward to seeing fades.
