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

[Kathrynnaomi]

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.

I wore these pretty consistently for over a year and washed them maybe 3 times.

Damn @Sam those look great.  That is the perfect look of a broken in pair of raw denim in my opinion.

[Jett129]

On a scale of 1-10,those would have to be a 10. The real question,@Sam, is how soft/comfortable has the denim become?

[Sam]

Very! @Jett129 They'll give the IH sweat pants a run for their money 

Thanks, @manufc10 I'm pretty happy with them. I'm giving them a rest for a while so I can wear in my IH-555SG-IND. But they will always be on of my go-to jeans.

The glory of UHR-fades. Great pair!

First day of wear for my new pair. Post soak they are a perfect fit. Really really pleased with these!

Post soak Pics, About 2/2,5 months of wear, 1 initial machine wash and right after the second soak. Surprised how fast these fade…

2.5 months?!?! Wow. I would’ve guessed at least 6 months.

These jeans haven’t been out for two years. That’s a lot of wear in a short time. They look great.
