        Ha!  No, not a stupid question.

        The crew will have a size chart with these like they do with any garment.  But because of the raw-ness, they usually do a test soak/wash in Gosport and tell you how much shrink they got, too.  You then do your best to size for your  needs based on their shrinkage.

        But they can't tell you any of that until they get their hands on a pair, which I'm not sure they're in possession of just yet.  Maybe just an early sample.

        Blanket-line all the things!!!

          Yeah I mean, usually there's some pre/post soak info for sure, but also a lot of info comes out in these threads. Definitely not expecting IH to just throw us some pairs and let us figure it out 😃

          And yep, I'm hoping for some insight on how much they stretched from some of the peeps on here who sampled pairs.

                  Just curious if any of you had ever worn the Shrink to Fit Levis 501s?,because this is ice cream compared to those… Back in Prehistoric times. They gave you some basic guidelines, but after that you were on your own.

                              So now I am having total FOMO.  Bought a pair of XHS (which I am loving already!!!) but y’all keep preaching the specialness of this UHR fabric. So of course my left eye is starting to twitch and I’m having flashbacks of never asking Melissa Lane out in 4th grade.

                              If I pass on this run of UHR, how long until it comes back through? Every few years or so??

                                It really depends how this run sells…...I killed it off a few years ago, I have no idea why.  Then had the "brilliant" idea of doing it again about a year ago, I see no reason why we won't rerun.....

                                        I'm in a similar position here, but I'm currently breaking in a pair of XHSib and have an unworn pair of XHS hanging in my closet that I'm going to break in this fall. Regardless, I'd still like another pair of heavyweight IHs (crazy, I know :D), but the UHR's extreme lack of breathability might be an issue for me. I might opt for a pair of 19Ls instead.

                                          @Daniel San @popvulture Here are some measurements from a pair of 777-UHR I had.  Sold them bc they were too big so Im afraid the info won't be too useful for stretch.  You can get get an idea how much shrink is possible with hot washes/machine drying.
