Estimated Time of Delivery

I might be stupid but I don't get it. Will it be possible to order a size 32 in the near future?

[Alex]

@cricca We have production runs in with our factories for the IH-555S-UHR, and all other UHR jeans. As it stands, we do not know when those runs will complete, it will likely be 4-12 months from now.

We do not take preorders, no.

@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.

Sorry, if this is a dumb question. I am probably going to answer my own question. But on a new pair, I assume the washing process in the machine does not require any special detergent. Just the action of the cold water and agitation is what I'm after here for my UHR denim?

Thanks guys. And on the wash, detergent or none?

No need. It’s the agitation you’re after primarily.

From the guru @neph93 himself and the advice that I’ve followed for years.

@goosehd thanks!

I'm adding my pre and post soak/wash data points for anyone who may find it helpful in the future. My actual measured waist is 32.5''. I used the IH way of measuring:

Prewash:
Waist: 16.5''/42cm
Front Rise: 10.4''/26.5cm
Back Rise: 14.2''/36cm
Thigh: 11.5''/29cm
Knee: 7.6''/19.5cm
Hem: 7.3''/18.5cm
Inseam: 36.5''/92.5cm

Postwash:
Waist: 16.1''/41cm
Front Rise: 10.1''/25.5cm
Back Rise: 13.8''/35cm
Thigh: 11''/28cm
Knee: 7.6''/19.5cm
Hem: 7.3''/18.5cm
Inseam: 35.2''/89.5cm

I was advised to buy the denim prewashed to fit my waist size properly, and then it will shrink approx 1 inch afer a soak/wash, but eventually will stretch back to the original size. The inseam I was told will shrink approx 2inches but will not stretch back.

Following the instructions from IH and above posts, I flipped them inside out and soaked the new denim in hot water for 1 hour in my bathtub. Then straight to the washing machine using cold water and low/no spin cycle. Hang dry.

Thoughts: My first heavy, raw unsanforized/shrink to fit from Iron Heart. Super heavy, hard and crispy. I spent 5minutes trying to button it up at first. My fingers were blue from the Indigo and my thumbs were sore because the denim is so heavy. After the soak and wash, I tried to flip the wet denim back outside in, and almost gave up as the pant leg was stuck in a giant wet ball because I couldn't get them past the knees. Finally flipped them around. Wore them today and they definitely need to be worked in. Tight around knees, a bit of space around the butt, but I think they will conform around me after a few wears. Extremely happy with them and glad I took the plunge.
