IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

@the246guy do a normal soak and wash first. Not hot. Try and see just to be safe. Hot = more shrinking

[the246guy]

Yes, with the soak, I just want to get the dirt away after a few months of wear, so I will soak it cold always and I plan never ever to throw it in a washing machine! Once I get the pair delivered, if the waist sits comfortably, then it will be with me.

Another one who buys a UHR and doesn’t do the whole process like it’s supposed to

Cold soak and normal wash @the246guy .

[the246guy]

@Heavy_blue Are you the other one if I'm not mistaken? I'm scared of getting it not fitting me anymore by hot wash or soak. I have had bad experiences in the past where I had to make a loss by selling some of them.

[George Homme]

@the246guy Cold soak...normal wash in 30 degrees. try...if you need more shrinkage afterwards soak them again

[George Homme]

UHR are cut a little bigger than usual so i think you are going to be fine. I went with my true to size in UHR

[goosehd]

This is the recommendation for UHR fabric:

The UHR is loomstate. No processes have been performed on it. This means that the constructional stitching is not embedded into the fabric and can pop out. In addition the fabric is so dry and stiff that creases will be very sharp and abrasive and can tear.

Soaking AND an initial wash are necessary to embed the stitching and finesse the fabric. Shrinking is a by product of this.

Hot soak and wash to embed the stitches and failure to follow those instructions can lead to premature failures.

Guess who’s back in raws!!

Although, this one’s a different cut and a subtle difference in the buttons with my 666 pairs from the first run

[AdamJ]

@louisbosco nice one mate, I'm tempted to grab a pair of 31 in the 555 before they go, for next season

[louisbosco]

@AdamJ do it mate. The UHR’s are the best denim I’ve worn thus far, so much so that I’m going back for seconds

[rheubanks]

@AdamJ any guidance on the restock for these?

[AdamJ]

@rheubanks we’ll be arranging another production run soon, but won’t be back in for a while I’m afraid. Will update with a better ETA once we have one

sorry to resurrect this old thread, but did you ever end up grabbing some 31s in the 555? are you normally 32? (sorry if i missed you mentioning that already)

just curious if you ever did because sometimes i feel like i might should have got 31s instead of 32 in my UHRs. thanks!

[AdamJ]

@darbycrash No apology necessary, this thread will come back to life when the next restock hits!

I didn't in the end. I'm currently wearing my 14oz black/blacks mostly. I'll find out what they measure exactly then try a pair of UHRs and see where I'd aim for.

I have a pair of Tag 31 IH-555N which are just a shade under 32" exactly but, seemingly too tight with my current waist situation

I feel like I'm edging towards permanent Tag 32 territory unfortunately!

Been holding out for over a year on these, finally pulled the trigger.

Into the tub they went.

Machine wash coming up next.

[SKT]

@Twistlock let the fun begin!

[Twistlock]

Yeah @SKT, can't wait to put them on.

They're pretty fun, man — enjoy!
