I got a pair from @Memphisakers about 2 weeks ago and been wearing them since. This is the nicest, most crazy pair of denim I've ever owned. Just look at that hair

@scarfmace now you know what the ‘fuzz’ is all about

Sizing question. I’m usually a TTS 34. But my most comfortable IH have stretched to 35 inches. I have big thighs thanks to powerlifting. Would people recommend a size 34 or 35 in the UHR given the shrinkage and less stretching of the denim compared to the 21oz?

@Piratedoc my advice would be to measure your best fitting denim with the ‘how we measure’ video and take that as a starting guide. UHR doesn’t stretch a lot imo. It’s shrinks due the soaking and the washing and will stretch back to pre-soak measurements. But not any further then that, at least that’s my opinion.

I Second the minimal stretching point above. Mine are still a bit snug after wearing them this past fall/winter.

[Piratedoc]

Thanks for the input. I guess a corollary question would be did anyone size up 1 from their 21oz denim size?

[A Former User]

I didn’t size up but the measurements on my pair were larger in the waist out of the bag. But definitely glad i did that cause the UHR doesn’t stretch that much. Measuring is key man! Otherwise drop the guys at IHUK a message for further assistance they are the best

Amen to what @Heavy_blue said. 21OZ has way more give. I sized the UHR pretty similar to how I sized my Ducks - Go for the exact waist measures that I want to end up with.

In the 21OZ I got the same Waist size as UHR (34), but they were a tad smaller from the start. That difference easily stretched out with 21OZ.

I should have asked for a larger waist among the 32s (my typical 888 size) but I got them in Sept at the party and didn’t want to bother anyone with measuring. They’re fine though.

They’re not dry yet and I also haven’t measured them before the wash. But I’ll let you know from how it feels. The cuff marks should be a good indicator.

Hey all.

I soaked and washed my UHRs. It seems like the side stitch that runs along the inside that catches the pocket and selvedge has come loose or burst. What should I do about this?

Here's a picture of the other side that is fine.
