      Think you did the 555-UHR road test? Any views on sizing (in addition to what another’s have said about losing about an inch after soak and wash)? I am torn between tab 30 and 31 but wonder whether you have any views about the 555s?

        Would you suggest same waist as normal, but add a couple inches to hem?

        Or by a size up and do a pre soak?

                Just to clarify: the measurements above are pre-soak right? (Just asking because they look like the measurements on sanforized or post soaked 555s). Thanks

                  We always post pre-soak.

                  Actually, to be more accurate, we always measure out of the box. So, if they have been washed/soaked in the factory, that is what we measure, if they are raw out of the factory, that is what we measure.

                        …needed another pair of UHR and it was between the 555 and the 777cuts, went with the 555. Like 'rocker' pants. 😃 Super Slim Fit is kinda 'youth-anising'! 😉
                        ...1 hour hot soak, delicate wash warm and hang dry. All stitching set.



                        …love me some UHR, great stuff.

                              Stupid question that probably know the answer to but Tag 31 actual 32.8 soaked etc loose 1” in the waist
                              31.8 but after wear and under load will stretch back to 32.8 ??

                              Thinking I needed a 30 waist ..

                                I got the tag 30 and after washing lost about 1 inch on the waist but after one wear was back to the original size. My conclusion? It evens itself out.

                                  Yep thought as much bought the 31 we’re pretty perfect after the soak etc but now got a bit to much room in the waist after wear, think I’ll go for the 30 and struggle for a bit until they stretch back out to a 32

                                    Awesome! How did you size compared to your other denim?

                                      So I received a pair of these today in tag size 33 and the waist fits loose before soaking. Based upon the measurements I've taken vs my well worn pair of 21oz 634s I think the waist will be perfect after losing about 1" from a hot soak and wash.

                                      The question is, if the waist fits perfectly after soaking/washing will it stretch out to being too big again even if not under much tension? If so I might need to return and grab a size 32 which is my usual tag. I sized up hoping for an easier break-in period figuring they wouldn't stretch much.

                                        @Visceral The shrink that you get out of the UHR's will stretch back out in the waist…the length will not (nor will the thighs/calves - unless they are under constant tension).

                                        How does the rest of the jean fit?  Loose, Tight, Perfect?

                                          I'd say there's a good bit of room everywhere in the top block (most of all the waist) but the legs fit well from the thigh down definitely enough room for some shrink but not too much that its baggy.

                                            Fit is subjective and it is ultimately what you're comfortable with…if you're undecided you could post a fit picture and let us see how they fit.

                                            I've had a lot of great feedback from the people here and it's helped me in the past.
