IH-777S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans

@thomms The measurements that IHUK posts are a sample representation of the jeans in each size. Each individual pair may vary from the published data.
The pair @Kasi has shown, were measured by himself pre and post soaking. His numbers are not misrepresenting the product, but are what he has experienced with his personal pair.
If you have a certain need when purchasing jeans, IHUK are more than helpful trying to fulfill personal requests.
@Kasi is not at fault here.
@goosehd
thank you for the explanation..those pre soak data are way too far, almost a size lower..
@Kasi
you’re the man, you really know your jeans.everyone, so sorry for my mess..

I just got the 634 version of these which I love and the. You go and drop them in my favourite cut -777!
-
First pair and first post. Been patiently waiting for these for a while now. Stoked on the fit.
-
Great fit

So, the UPS guy just showed up a little while ago. These fit quite nicely in the raw state, with a good amount of room to spare (always key). Going to do the wash/soak now. It's currently 100 F (38 C) here, so I'll hang these to dry outside this evening. They very well may be dry by morning!

@Kasi may be wrong most of the time but he’s happens to be right in this instance.

Enjoy, @BlueBlood
All those shots here make me even more hyped to pick my 888 up in September
That patch alone….

Thanks, @weftyarn. I'm sure I will!
So, I hand-agitated my pair in bath-temp water for 5 min, soaked in hot-to-the-touch (roughly 60 C) water for an hour, and then put them through the gentle cycle in warm water in my top-loader (took them out before the rinse/spin cycles). After hang-drying them outside, I discovered that they didn't shrink nearly as much as I expected. So I went through the hand-agitate/soak/wash process again, this time drying in the direct, 100 F afternoon sun. Got about an extra half-inch of inseam shrinkage out of them, and they're probably not going to go much further. Here are the numbers for size 38, in inches:
Waist: 39.1 –> 38.0 --> 38.0
Front rise: 11.4 --> 11.1 --> 11.0
Back rise: 15.7 --> 15.2 --> 15.0
Upper thigh: 13.8 --> 13.5 --> 13.5
Hem: 8.9 --> 8.7 --> 8.7
Inseam: 31.2 --> 30.4 --> 30.0
The inseam is still a good inch longer than I was shooting for, to wear with a single cuff. But I think I'll just do a tight 1" double cuff. Seems more prudent than paying $50+ to have Rain take off one inch.
Going to wear these around the house in the A/C for the next couple of days, and then put them away until November. Waaaay too hot right now for this denim.

Thanks @BlueBlood, mine arrived yesterday. I’m the tub they go today

Soak time:-)

Been wearing these around the house, in the A/C, for the past day and a half. In retrospect, I think that I may have ended up preferring the silhouette of the 666 cut, but these still fit and look nice.
This denim is shockingly easy to break in compared to the XHS. To me, it seems like a beastmode version of Samurai’s 21 oz Cho-Kiwami denim, with the UHR being darker and more dense. I think that the weave on this denim may be looser than the XHS, but it may be woven more densely? That’s the only way that I can reconcile the easier break-in but lower breathability.
In any case, I’m looking forward to fading this pair alongside may XHSib and 19Ls later this fall.

Going to resurrect this thread a bit by posting an update on my pair. One month of wear in my UHRs. Finally completely broken in and comfortable now. Waist definitely stretched out a bunch. Whiskers, honeycombs, and stacks have found their permanent homes. Surprised to see fades already coming out. Happy Labor Day, all.

Very nice to see these are really starting to comming along my friend! How did you sized compared to your other IH denims?
-
@kelton great fit and the fades are coming!!!

@Heavy_blue Thanks! This is actually my first pair of IH's. But to answer your question in a simple way, I sized down once from my usual and standard waist size (30 down to 29). I ended up buying a 30 as well and they were way too big so I stuck with the 29. They were very tight in the waist at first and almost unbearable. About 1 week in they were bearable, and 2 weeks in comfortable. Now they give me no issues.
@Peterldavey Appreciate it! Cant wait, loving them so far.

Very nice first pair there buddy! And thanks for the info, i really appreciate it.

Initial evo is looking good, @kelton!
I decided to get mine further hemmed (wasn't feeling the double-cuff look) and am much happier with the single cuff. Getting some wear on mine before temps get back up near 100 tomorrow and Saturday. Next week's forecast shows highs in the 70s, so I should be able to get additional summer wear then as well.

How much can one expect these to stretch in the waist after the intital pre-soak and wash? Easiest to just order true to measured size from the jump?
