      …I'm jumping on board the 'RAW' train for at least one pair (555 or 666, waiting on waist measurements from the stubborn crew). The back story on the UHR is fascinating and really incredible and I just have to know what this raw denim is all about. 🙂

      ...truly fascinating to me. 😎

        Holy shit it's like a goldmine here. Someone on YouTube or instagram should pick this up and do something with this.

          Picked them up on Thursday. Should be here tomorrow. I will most likely soak, dry, and then put away until it gets a little cooler! This weather is hot hot hot!

            Last thing I needed was more denim but couldn’t resist with this release.  Per usual, Alex and IH staff were brilliant… Special shout out to whoever hemmed these; flawless work on some pretty gnarly fabric.

            I followed nephs direction w a warmish soak for an hour follow by a gentle wash cycle and drip dry. Below are the pre and post measurement (didn’t bother w the rise)

            Waist: 31.1 to 30.2 (bounced back to 30.9 w half a day of wear)
            Thigh: 12.2 to 12
            Hem: 7.8 to 7.7
            Inseam: 32.5 to 30.7

              That fit is spot on, @Bren 👌🏽

              Use it or lose it.

                Thanks for reporting back in on the shrinkage and the re-expansion, @Bren .  And yeah, that's a great fit!

                Mine arrived a couple of days ago but I haven't even had a chance to take pre-soak/wash measurements!  I will report back this weekend.

                Blanket-line all the things!!!

                    Hey all, haven't been on here in a while.  I picked these up right when they came out.  I really struggled with the sizing and went back and forth between 33 and 34.  Went with 34s and did not get as much shrinkage as I thought I would.  Fit picks are after a one hour hot soak and a hot wash.  Feel like I probably could have sized down.

                      I dont see anything wrong with the fit. They look relaxed in a nice way.

                        To be honest, for me that would be to big..

                        Size down may have not even be answer.

                        Maybe a 666 would work better or 634.

                          Thanks, appreciate it, but I think @Kasi  hit the nail on the head.  I was in 888s a few years ago, but have been wearing 634s the last year.  I was in 666s for a minute when my weight was down a bit, but they are uncomfortably slim for me in the heavier weights.  I might pick up the 634 21/23 before they sell out and then make a final decision.  Thanks for the feedback, I'm hoping to be more present around here again now I have a bit more free time.

                            Fwiw, don't discount the 666 uhr till you check out the measurements. These seem to be cut a little more generously in the top block and thigh than their 21oz counterparts for the same tag. Mine didn't shrink at much as I was expecting either and very quickly stretched back in the waist so they're very comfy.

                              I had similar experience with the 555UHR.  Went with my normal tag size which had posted dimensions a little larger than my typical.  The tag size down had posted dimensions that were perfect without the shrinkage.  I went with the slightly larger dimensions thinking the shrinkage would pull it in, but after a few days of wear they are now stretched back out a little bigger than I prefer.  If I get another pair, I’m going to purchase as I normally do with the dimensions I want as if no shrinkage.  Then after soaking and washing, I’ll stuff myself in them like a sausage and wear them around the house till they stretch back out.  I should have known better since I had experienced the same thing about five years ago with the 3Sixteen Kibatas.  I’ve learned my lesson with raw - won’t happen again for me.  BTW - they don’t look bad (as mine don’t either) but I know it’s a matter of personal preference and how you like them to look and feel more so than what others may notice.

                              No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.

                                Interesting, I didn't even think to check out the 666 UHR after my experience with the 666 XHS.  The measurements actually look pretty generous.  I put in an order for 634 UHR, but I will chat with the IHUK crew tomorrow and see what they have in the 666.  Lots of those still in stock.

                                This is where I am at as well.  If they are comfortable after a hot soak and hot wash, then (for me) they are probably too big.

                                  I've been wearing these for two weeks now and I'm really liking them.  I already have a pair of 888XHS so I was hesitant to buy these but my curiosity got the best of me so I went ahead and pulled the trigger.  I may end up liking these more than XHS… but we'll see.  It looks like the fades are gonna come fast, I even got some marks from the washing machine after the initial soak.

                                  Fit:  My advice is order true to size and trust that you'll stretch them back out post shrinkage.

                                          “The vest show” got all the attention, so your acquisition of the UHRs went completely unnoticed (by me at least). 😃
                                          Guess we’re jeans buddies now, @Matt 😃
                                          My photo competition prize was well spent!

                                          @don_pipone and I had a lot of fun trying to make them stand on their own at our Airbnb.. Guess Fallen Acorn slowed down the process a bit, it took as a long time….
                                          Soon as they stood Pipo posed next to them with his > 400 wear days 777 UHR. Can’t wrap my head around the fading potential… 🤯

                                          Soaked them yesterday and will start to wear them as soon as the temperatures drop < 20deg.
                                          What a beast this is, let’s tame it!

                                          Use it or lose it.
