      Looks like those would fit much better after a wash or long hot soak.  They look baggy for 777s.  If that’s the look you’re going for 888 might be for you.  But ultimately they’re yours.  Have fun.  🤘

        Hey, [mention]Oaktavia [/mention] (big fan btw) I do see the pattern and it’s awesome that I have that info for making an informed choice. I’ve read all of these selections maybe five times. My gut says “DRY”. The other day, I stopped short of drying my wet hands on them.

        Thank you, [mention]Heavy_blue [/mention] I’ve been wearing raw denim since maybe 2014, so padawan? Idk about that but we are all learning. [mention]Kasi [/mention] is the man! My concern with this lot of UHR denim is that it seems like a lot of people bought a pair, sized up and boiled their pants in hopes they would fit. Seems like a lot of people, including me ended up with at least a size too large. This is as unusable for me as a pile of shredded (but worn and loved) denim.

        That’s issue 1. Issue 2 for me is that pre soak, this denim is remarkably breathable. It’s also rough and stiff but it’s conforming to my body. They feel the way I want them to and they look awesome. The blues are (for me) better and darker compared to the, actually two pairs I’ve boiled. Also the 555 in 31 still looks massive in the top block. And I don’t want my jeans to feel like sweats. I have sweats for that.

        I’ll post pics later but these 777 are a perfect fit and I can do stacks. I have found that changing your cuff configuration will keep them from totally tearing at the fold.

        Issue 3 for me is that I see that some people do the soak and wash stew and still blow out stitches early. I can repair them if I have to and I won’t be asking for free repairs from IH since, by not soaking, I’m violating the spirit of the program there.

        Issue 4 for me is that I remember a time when we wore dry denim and expected it to fall apart. It was one of the goals, to destroy your jeans. I have a pair of TSG that Rainbow has turned into art.

        I get that the guidelines are there to protect consumers from disappointment and I’m grateful that I can come here and learn. It’s why I chose the path that I did and I’ll keep you updated.

        [mention]kelton [/mention] thank you very much. You figured into my decision for sure and [mention]Diego [/mention] shared shrinkage dimensions post cooking and it was after 3 weeks of wear, so that sealed the deal. Even when I do wash my jeans, it’s cold water in a tub. I’m not worried they will shrink too much. This machine wash and high temps guidance is anathema for me.

        I absolutely love this place and I love learning so if I sound defensive or sarcastic it’s unintentional. Plenty of room for people to do stuff off label with their own purchases. It’s fun. If we all do it the same way, where’s the joy in that?

          [mention]Matt [/mention] correct those are the size 32. If you go up to the first post you’ll see a banging fit check. I’ll post a pic later of day 7 in the 777

            @kelton:

            Little update on my pair. About 5 months worth of wear here. Been wearing them extra hard lately-taking them hiking and mountain biking (still a bit of mud on them in these pics lol). Falling in love with them more and more every day!

            This is what I’m talking about! You resurrected the thread, I think

              Yeah I didn’t read it all.  I just woke up and was like “Whose business can I stick my nose into this morning?”

                          Haha! Well, kind of. Bigger thighs with thinner lower legs and a bit of rear end with a narrow waist and hips. It’s a challenging fit and I’ve read that he’s gone from three months dry and then soak all the way to hot wash STF. We also kick the 555 back and forth with the 777 and can’t decide. 555 top block with 777 from the hips down would probably be perfection. To get the 555 top block to fit right means my thighs are sized out.

                            Just got my pair in the mail yesterday. Couldn’t buy direct from IH because there was no 35. Painfully slow waiting for them to arrive compared to the speed from IH but well worth the wait. They fit perfect. I won’t be soaking or washing them or anything unless they stretch too much. For now just going to wear them and enjoy the 5” cuffs.

                                  It’s design thing UHR NEEDS to be soaked and washed.. it’s all in the way the denim has been made. In the end it’s your denim and i hope it works out, so njoy them!

                                    Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. I love the look and feel of the raw so that’s how I’ll wear them for now. I’m not concerned about the damage. After a few weeks or months when they stretch out I may give them a soak. I’ve worn lots of raw denim this way (mostly Mister Freedom) and its not an issue for me.  Perhaps they manufacture them differently. Either way, I’m aware of the possible damage, and after all these are just a pair of jeans. Everyone enjoy how they like. That’s what makes clothing and style so individualistic.

                                      Another point to make is that any fades that are established without a hot soak will shift when or if they are eventually soaked. The waist will stretch back out to the original measurements after an initial hot soak too and the dark raw indigo color will not be changed much to notice if that is your concern.

                                        I mean, at this point I want to see what happens. I need to see this. I’m imagining myself at the airport, traveling with only these jeans and no other pants. I’m standing there in security, first there’s the slightest popping sound as the Rosetta stitch that needed to shrink gives out. Moments later I’m standing in the MIL, all eyes on me and my pants literally explode into a pile of useless denim. I’m arrested for exposing myself to families, put on the no fly and all I had to do to avoid this was boil my jeans.
