IH-555S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans

@hgering27 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).
You could always send an email to the shop. They are excellent in regards to fit and sizing: shop@ironheart.co.uk

@goosehd yeah I will have to reach out. My gut tells me 38 is the move, but I am still conflicted.
-
Quick update. Got the 32's and fit in the top block is much better. The legs are quite skinny but should lead to some killer fades once broken in. Thanks all for the help.
Nice that you have found the correct size that works for you! If you have the time upload some pics! Mine will come in tomorrow, soak/wash and rock!

Look what came in today
UHR is a beast.. wow! It’s been long since i had a XHS.. sized in a 34 and had a fist of room in the waist, now they are soaking and then in the washing machine.. hopefully they are dry tomorrow! 
-
Soaked the beast for 1 hour in the warmest water i could tap and then washed it without a spin on 30 degrees celcius. Still amazed by this piece! Length shrunk about 2 inch, the waist doesn’t shrunk that much, overall a better fit post-soak
-
@Heavy_blue great fit
-
Thanks mate! I’m really digging these
-
I write this at work, while eagerly waiting to leave to get home to my fresh delivery of these bad boys… My question is, is it necessary to soak AND wash, or can I get by with just a soak? My washer is a wildcard so I am a bit paranoid about putting them in the machine and need some advice.
-
The facts of the matter are that soaking lubricates the cotton threads in such a way that they puff up and the constructional stitching integrates better.
The machine wash creates the agitation needed to contract the fibres making the denim 23oz per square yard. This also means shrinkage.
Following instructions will get the shrinkage out, strengthen the fabric and the stitching. Not followimg them may mean stitching popping out, early tears appearing at creased points, or nasty shrink related surprises at a later date.

Just wash straight from the soak on the lowest temp, with the least spin possible.
-
Thanks guys. And on the wash, detergent or none?

No need. It’s the agitation you’re after primarily.

quick update:
theyve been soaked, washed, dried and on my legs. After about 10 minutes and a bruised thumb I got them buttoned and they are absolutely incredible. Glad I went with the 555 over the 888 in these, and I think for the first time in a long time, I am going to go with a cuff instead of a hem.

Let's see some fit pics! I always prefer a cuff, especially with heavyweights.

Nice!! Rock them hard haha! Beennin my 555’s a few weeks now! Love them! Cuff them as well:) def post some pics mate! Cheers
-
I'll get some pics up this weekend. I plan on wearing these as much as physically possible. I have a little ritual with new denim where I typically wear them for the first 30 days no rotating, and then I get back to some of the other stuff.

UHR is gettin there, first shades seems to appear. Also a cool one from the slb vs UHR.
