        I use that method for all of my IH denim, not that I really have any other brands at this point….

            @T4920 Fit is so subjective so generally speaking there's no right or wrong but in my opinion it looks like the 555 cut just isn't the cut for you. That or you might have sized wrong and may need to size down as long as the measurements still work for you if course.

            I think you need a decent amount of junk in the trunk to make the 555 cut work. I never rocked the 555 cut over the years but recently I put on some weight with a significant amount being in my glutes and thighs and now the 555 cut is my preferred cut as long as the thigh measurement is on the larger side of its respective tag size.

            Just my two cents for what its worth.

              @manufc10 appreciate your honest response! I put them through the wash yesterday as per the advice here yesterday evening and after drying all night they feel MUCH better this morning. 666 is my perfect cut, and if I was buying direct that'd always be my choice, but as these were bought from the marketplace I thought I'd roll the dice! Confident I can make them work now they've shrunk to fit 🕶

                Feeling great after a 2h walk to break them in a little! Pre-wash, there was an annoying excess of fabric in the seat, which I was very aware of whilst walking...

                Completely eliminated now, with no noticeable loss of indigo in the wash!

                Thanks again for the advice everyone.

                    @T4920 they look much better now. Glad you got them to shrink up. I dont think I realized you hadn't washed/soaked them yet. That's what I get for not reading the thread thoroughly.

                      Stranger just complimented me on how 'smart' my jeans looked. First time that ever happened 😂

                              @darbycrash No it does not and is a necessary step. Edit (Here is the reasoning): The recommended method with UHR is to soak first, then wash. This because it is loomstate. The soak activates the cotton fibres and embeds the stitching, the wash gets the shrinkage out.

                                  I think it better they get this soak and wash in production when they getting make..

                                  Too many dummies around.

                                  Then buy them and wear..

                                    or they could just word the care instructions more specifically in regards to these (the care pamphlet i received only explicitly states this is necessary for the 25oz). i like having the ability to initially soak and wash them myself.

                                    thats cute you think im a "dummy" for asking a question, isnt that a big reason the forum is here in the first place? this was a big investment for me and i plan to wear them for years, so i didnt want to make a jack move.

                                      Soak and Wash

                                      But then they your jeans do what you like.

                                      If worry about them you could always keep as they are by not wearing them.

                                        @darbycrash UHR is by far and away the quickest fading IH denim. A soak on loomstate denim is 100 times less aggressive than the industrial machine washing or sanforisation that most so called “raw denim” receives before it hits the shelves.
