Kinda like the idea how @RoxRocks86
Come out with her style making them into shorts.

Now ride or die with the patch

@Kasi Interesting patches.  Where did you find them?

After much deliberation, I finally pulled the trigger on this denim. I sized up given the expected shrinkage on this.

[RoxRocks86]

Killer patch @Kasi is that the final placement? Just wondering if it would get bent with comb creases

Just met a friend while wearing my UHR.
About six months of almost daily wear on these.

@Goldtop What an outstanding picture!!!

[Dmart]

And what a commitment to wear them during summer! They look great!

[Goldtop]

I did briefly switch to my 18oz 666 when the temperature was in the 30s. These feel fine in anything under that though. I’m really loving these!

[the246guy]

Nice shot and indeed a great fit there. My UHR is arriving tomorrow. Super stocked to having them.

[the246guy]

The UHR arrived, I guess I made the right decision to size up from Tag size 30 to Tag size 31. The fit is splendid, a bit loose on certain areas, but the shrinkage should take care of that. What do you guys recommend? Throw it straight into the washing machine or just warm soak it or wear it for a while and then wash or soak?

If seen this as well and since my UHR will drop this week i have seen that some people throw them directly from the soak into the washing machine, or first spray them wet with the shower head to avoid marble marks. But still suggest drip dry first?

[the246guy]

I'm soaking it right now, but why should I wash it after a soak? Isn't a soak for an hour or two just about enough?

Get all the shrinkage out and too settle the cotton threads etc. at least that is what i’ve read. Also for the fact your fades won’t shift all over the place! Let us know how your soak went.

[Dmart]

The soak alone does not do much without agitation, that’s why you wash after the soak. I drip dry between the soak and wash.
