    @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.

            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.

                    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!

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

                        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?

                              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.

                                  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.

                                    @neph93:

                                    The soak is to embed the stitching. The denim is entirely untreated after weaving and quite abrasive. It can damage the stitching with movement unless it is soaked.

                                    The soak and the wash together remove shrinkage. How much depends on the temperature of the water and the amount of agitation. This is why a wash is used as well as a soak. It’s the movement during the wash that encourages the cotton fibres to take in water. They then contract upon drying.

                                    When that is done you’re good to go and how you wash/soak after that is entirely up to you. Subsequent soaks/washes can result in incremental shrinkage but that’s only because not all the shrinkage came out first time.

                                    I can not say it any better than this…Thanks @neph93

                                      Very much thanks! And indeed what i’ve read. Are there any rules for drip dry before putting it in the washmachine?

                                        @Heavy_blue I don't think so.  I pull them out of the sink/tub, wait until there isn't water pouring off of them, and then place them in the washing machine.

                                        I've only had two pairs of UHR, but have used the same protocol on most of my jeans (to avoid marbling).

                                        Hope it helps. 🙂
