    @sabergirl:

    Waist on the UHR should shrink an inch with soak/wash, but it will stretch out to pre-soak size again with wear. For waist measurement, you want a pair that looks good on the chart. Thigh, back rise, and inseam will shrink and won’t come back though, so be mindful of this too.

    I can't speak specifically about the UHRs, but my experience with unsanforized Samurais, PBJs, Flat Heads, etc., is that the back rise will stretch back to the original unwashed length (front rises tend not to, though). Also, thighs can pretty easily gain back about half of the size that they lose after that first soak.

      Every cut is there for good reason, I guess.
      888 being my favorite at the moment. High rise and a nice taper, without being stupidly aggressive.

      Speaking of which: When will the 888 UHR arrive? 😬

      Use it or lose it.

        @weftyarn 888 is my favourite also

        888S-UHR's are currently making their way over from Japan, all things going well (no delays etc) they should be launched next week  😉

          That’s great news, thanks Adam!

          Looking forward to finally spend my photo competition prize 😃

          Use it or lose it.

            @the246guy:

            I have a question in general related to the shrinkage and the correct sizing. I'm usually around 80 cm on the waist and Tag size 30 fits me perfectly fine in the 666 XHS where the waist comes in around 78-79 cm new and after stretch it kind of settles around 80 to 81 cm. The UHR in 666 cut, the measurement says for tag size 31 the waist is 82.x cm and given the shrinkage of 1 inch on the waist, that would mean the waist would be around 80 cm roughly. Correct? So for my needs, I should be looking at Tag size 31 for the 666. Am I right?

            You can expect the UHR to end up around where it started after shrinkage and stretch. So a W31 starting at 82cm will end up about there. I’ve always gone normal size on UHR.

              Miss you @neph93 Your answer clears all that for me. So on the waist, I think I will stay with Tag size 30, but I don't know about the other measurements if they shrink will they come back? Those tension areas will definitely I suppose!

              IH-555N | IH-666S-21 | IH-777D | IH-666 XHS | IHG-035 | IHB-06 | IH-721-KHA
              IHSH-251 | IHSH-07 | IHSH-246 * 2

                Yeah… nowhere really gets the same amount of abuse as the waistband. That always stretches the most. But the thigh will stretch out again, possibly to the initial dimensions. As @sabergirl said, the rises, hem and inseam will not stretch.

                  One minor clarification on the care instructions that say to drip dry after soak and before a machine wash. Is the drip dry necessary or can they go straight into the machine? Asking because there's slightly different guidance provided earlier in this thread quoted from Haraki via Giles saying to cold soak overnight before machine washing with no mention of an intermediate drip dry.

                  Thanks for bearing with me.

                    Drip dry wait for them to dry then wash.

                    That what am doing. Right now

                        Ignore that mate. Unless you want the abrasion lines and marbling of course. I strongly recommend air drying.

                          I put mine straight in the machine from the soak. Always worked out for me. Going in the machine wet also helps avoid marbling and abrasion lines.

                            Mine have dry now, but that not problem I will soak them wet with the shower head
                            Before I wash them.

                            Avoid marbling

                            Just making sure about the tumble dry, won’t be doing it.

                            Thanks

                                    Really enjoyed seeing this behind the scenes process. I don’t have a mind for engineering so seeing these machines do their thing is like magic to me. Humans can make some incredible things.
