IH-777-UHR - Indigo UHR 21/23oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered

Is it necessary to wash it before worn it ? If not, i should take a 31 like my 777XHS.
(my first raw)UHR should be soaked and washed before wearing. If you compare 777-XHS and 777-UHR measurements and do some math with the info on the product page you should be able to work out your size.
UHR stretches back to around pre-shrink size with wear so measuring your XHS now and buying the size closest to that should work too.

(my first raw)What I do is wear till it smells then hand wash with dr bronners at warm temp but not so hot that it hurts your hands. Then wear again till it stinks and so on. But of course everyone does it their own way

Whereas everyone can do wtf they like with their jeans, and my approach is not too different to yours @dave28 if you do that with UHR denim you’ll drastically shorten the lifespan of your jeans and end up with fade shift. The latter may not be of concern to all but the former should be.

What is the best way. I had that denim once I think but sold it before any effects like that set it. They were too warm for me except outdoors in winter.

The fabric is loomstate, so as raw as it gets. Nothing has been done to it after weaving which means the fabric is very abrasive and the stitching not properly embedded. Not soaking and washing can lead to tears and holes forming in the sharp creases and the stitching breaking because it is exposed.
They will shrink considerably when washed leading to wear at the knees and hem moving an inch up your leg.
The soak softens the fabric and embeds the stitching, the wash gets rid of most of the shrinkage.

these have restored my faith in the 777 cut. earlier this year, I purchased a pair of the 777 25oz and no matter how I tried, I just couldn't get them to work, love was in short supply then I went on a crash diet and took the plunge with the 777/UHR…..Now I'm thinking should I take the plunge with the 25oz and see whether we can make it work...

Any ideas on these jeans [emoji158] I have soak them for half in cold water, do I need to soak again any help would be helpful thanks
Soak in hot water for about two hours. Then wash them in a machine inside out, while still wet, at a low temperature and very low or no spin. Air dry.
