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

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?
ThanksThe 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!

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. -

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

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.

As @Illo59 wrote, the UHR denim fades incredibly fast.
These are mine. 75 days of wear, 2 initial washes. (Sorry for the crappy quality)
PS: Last month I wore them for moving into a new flat and some minor renovation work. Beside that I have mainly worn them in the office.

Both pairs looking great. UHR does fade quickly. My 888-UHR have 74 wear days on them and are comparable to these pairs.
EDIT: Very quick and dirty iPhone pics in a badly lit kitchen, but you get the point. These haven’t been used for anything other than going to work at a high school and hanging on the weekend.
