    @pechelman:

    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.

    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.

      Thanks

      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.

                      I know it's been mentioned that there's no current plan for 1955-UHR but since UHR is now in continuous production I'm still hoping one day y'all will make them again.  I'll just have to stick with the 888 for now.

                        How would you describe the main difference between the UHR 634 and the "regular" fantastic 21 oz 634. Like obviously they are raw and the normal ones are not, but beyond that they will fade better, are they made in a different fabric, do they feel warmer, will they get softer etc etc?

                          They are the absolute opposite of the 21oz in every way.

                          They fade A LOT quicker. The 21oz is actually made to fade slowly. The UHR are likely the quickest faders I’ve ever owned.

                          The weave of the denim is entirely different. The UHR is tight and dense, crunchy and stiff. The 21oz, soft and relaxed. The UHR softens and gets comfier, but never reaches the 21oz levels of comfort.

                          The UHR are much warmer, the tighter weave means they are wind resistant. The warm air stays on the inside.

                                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.

                                the more you wash, the better the contrast will be. from my previous pair, the contrast was insane. and I washed it 6 or so times during a 2 year stint

                                This comment is super intriguing to me, @louisbosco do you soak to wash or do you machine wash my friend?

                                  I machine wash every time but I just do the jeans by themselves on a quick 30min cycle. Also, I’m a lazy fucker nowadays and even for initial soaks, I chuck them on a quick wash cycle without soap. I haven’t done a bathtub soak since 2013

                                  That said, I’m just making assumptions that your washing machine allows for temperature selection. Mine could and that’s what I did

                                    This is what I usually do. For black denim I’ll pre soak just to prevent marbling but UHR fading definitely benefits from washing.

                                        Cool, I am happy to hear that. I wonder if XHS is this way because with my latest pair, I have only washed twice with nearly 250 wears and the contrast, while nice with the whiskers and thighs, isn't as contrasty as my XHSbb in the honeycomb area, which has been worn about 100 times less but washed 9 times with much more contrast on the honeycombs. Hmm.. IS this the way?

                                          Now that I’m back to a tropical climate I’ll be washing much more frequent than I did in the high desert. When they feel/smell gross, I wash. IMO fades look better when they are the journey, not the destination.
