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

[neph93]

They look good now and will look bloody great. The truth is that UHR is seriously badass denim but it does require a different attitude to the other IH denims. The fit of all cuts seem funky and different at first as the loomstate factor means the shrinkage gives cuts that are subtly different to their sanforised iterations. In addition the nature of the denim means it creases, folds and hangs in strange ways.

All that passes with wear and what you end up with is something quite unique and beautiful. Hang in there.

Amazing Pair of Jean..
After a 1 hour warm soak and a 30 Degrees Wash I had the expected 1 inch shrinkage

@Alex a little jealous of the 777 fit…

Received my pair a few days ago. After a cold soak and wash the fit is almost there. Will wear for a few days before I give it a hot soak for a little more shrinkage. Big thank you to Adam for all the help

Looks good so far, and I think you’re on the right track with wearing it for a few days and then giving it a hot soak (I’d go ahead and give it a hot wash actually just to be sure you get all the shrinkage out of them). After that, just wear the shit out of them and they’ll be awesome in no time.

When the words Denim and Hairy get used in the same sentence I get a big rush of dopamine [emoji38]

I would think you’d want to do the hot wash before the hemming,in case they shrink in the wash.

^^ This is always the safest choice.

Hi guys, would you say to size up or down from the 555-01? Do they have an easier break in than the 25oz denim?
Thanks

I sized down from my 555 and didn’t regret it.

The break in on the UHR is easier than with the 25oz in my experience.

Sizing is hard to think about like that. The 777 and 555 are different cuts and the 21oz and UHR denims behave very differently. The waist of a pair of 21oz jeans will stretch an inch easily, probably more, from starting measurements where as the waist of a UHR pair would probably end up around the published measurements after shrinkage and subsequent stretch.

If you take published measurements of the 777-UHR, W33 as an example, my guess is you’d have around a 34.5” after shrinkage and a couple of weeks wear. The W33 555-01 would end up around 36”, possibly more if put under a lot of stress.

Thanks! Yes I’m thinking the same. Will probably be better slightly big before soaking. Too small is horrible and slightly bigger is often much appreciated with heavyweight denim!

Are your 555 fairly  loose?

[don_pipone]

Yes, they are. I think it‘s due to the difference of the cut as neph93 wrote.
The 555 has a much higher rise which ended up to big for me after some wear and stretch.

555 has a higher rise and roomier top block for sure.
