Saw @Oaktavia ‘s pair of UHR jorts on ig & everything in life just….clicked. The lights were on, stars were aligned & the dots were all connected which meant that pulling the trigger on a pair meant it was meant to be. Being so confident in a pair is so rare that I just had to get ‘um. All thanks go to @Bailey for making sure i didn’t chop em too short & that I got the measurements I wanted. 

Didn’t think they’d work out as the 1st & 2nd cold soak + hot wash + tumble dry didn’t get much in terms of shrinkage, but here’s the end result. I’m surprised they didn’t shrink in the inseam as much as others have recorded, but I’m guessing it’s due to the amount that was initially chopped.

Measurements Raw >1’st soak/Warm Wash/Dryer >2nd Soak/Hot Wash/Dryer

Waist - 14.25” > 13.75” > 13.5”
Thigh - 10.8” > 10.5” > 10.4”
F.Rise - 9.75” > 9.5” > 9.3”
R. Rise - 14” > 13.5” > 13/5”
Inseam - 6” > 5.75” > 5.75”
Hem Opening - 8.5” > 8.5” > 8.5”

Stream of consciousness:

• Ha, so awesome. Those look amazing on you!

• That's one way to make UHR breathe

• That a typo on the thigh going to 10"?

• My last thought; What is she going to do with the off cuts? Any plans?

i know what I’d do…

& nicely done Rox!

Heck yeah Rox they look fantastic on you and I have to admit I think the hemming looks better on yours than my 80s style cutoffs do on me! I'd imagine with frequent wear and washes/time, these will look stellar when they fade and lighten up in color. Well done dude!

Edit: also that belt is aging super nicely. I have one that is almost the same but rough'd out. Makes me want to rock it more.

@RoxRocks86 In a million years I would have said that would be a bad idea and thought it would be a mistake….but I am wrong and horribly so.  They turned out great and look awesome!!

Bravo

Copp’d.

Thank you fellas

Thanks for the heads up on the typo regarding the thigh measurement. Corrected it 

Hopefully IHUK will find a good purpose for the cutoffs (ie repairs) as I requested they keep them.

Your cut offs look killer. Adds character 

Happy the belt is finally taking on a life of it’s own in terms of patina.

@mikebarhoot:

i know what I’d do…

If they offered ykk zippers with a mod like that you know it’s gonna go down!

You never know till you try but then again I’m the type of person who will make things work for me not the other way around i bet tears were shed when they saw that request esp since uhr has only been recently resurrected from the dead 

[seven-k]

@RoxRocks86 you totally rock \m/

[mikebarhoot]

Whoo hoo. They arrived Friday just before heading out of town.

[hoppy_IPA]

Mike, that belt is terrific.  Would you mind ID'ing it, please?

[mikebarhoot]

Certainly. I made it, as i do all my belts.
