    @neph93:

    666 for me, if the measurements work out. The nice thing about UHR is that the dims often come up a little big, and the shrinkage gives one room to play around.

    Per @Simon 's pre and post measurements from earlier in the thread though, it looks like these don't have too much in the way of shrink, no? I feel like this is a good thing, but it might affect your wiggle room.

    Standard UK washing machine, 40c (104F) at 400RPM for 60mins

    Tag 34 IH-777-UHR Sample

    I washed these on a 60 degree and got another half a inch in length shrink. Waist came in too.

      @spitfiredealer hell yeah — thanks for posting that, man!

      That’s wild that you got that much more shrinkage. Guess cos of the agitation from the machine wash? I think the other one was a soak. This is all super useful. Cheers 😎

        The recommended method with UHR is to soak  first, then wash. This because it is loomstate. The soak activates the cotton fibres and embeds the stitching, the wash gets the shrinkage out.

          I would like to point out washing them as harshly as I did is probably not recommended. I did get some marks from the wash. I only do this because my jeans get stupidly dirty so need it and I know I will fade all the marks out in pretty short amount of time.

                        These 777 UHR's were so dirty I ended giving them 2 washes. I had to do the second with them the right way round. Which I would never recommend but luckily no real horrible streaking.





                        Took some measurements after the wash

                        Waist: 16.5
                        Thigh: 12.9
                        Inside leg: 35
                        Hem : 7.6

                              Awesome fades @spitfiredealer

                              The more I see the more convinced I am to make these my next project.

                              Use it or lose it.

                                I am beyond stoked to get my first pair of UHF and @spitfiredealer is reaffirming it with those sick ass fades.

                                  glad I am inspiring people to get these. Nobody will regret getting pair. So comfy and the fades are great

                                      @spitfiredealer always does a great job with fading! Sometimes I wish I worked manual labor to achieve fades!

                                      Furthermore, I've had my OG UHRs in heavy rotation getting ready for the release of the new version!
