RESTOCK

[profdbrk]

Not everyday is the juice worth the squeeze but with UHR you can put that idea to work. I'm going to shrink these bad boys, put 'em on damp, and squeeze them into fit goodness. Thanks for the restock. I scored mine this morning.

[jerkules]

Was gonna grab some 14oz 634s soon, but this restock has made me reconsider. Is this denim comfortable? A beast to tame? Breathable? How does it keep with fairly high temperatures around 25 degrees C?

[yannis]

@jerkules. I don't think is a great summer option. Is not a beast to tame. Feels heavier than the 21oz and closer to the 25oz. Its hairy. If feels like heavy denim lol. I don't think is very breathable neither. I have the SR which is the older version of the same thing.

[jerkules]

Very helpful thanks @yannis . I have some thinking to do. The childish part of my brain sees the heavier weights and automatically thinks “better”, but I already have a couple of heavyweight options in rotation…

[tody]

@jerkules I stop wearing UHR before 20°C, anything above that and it's way too warm. Heck, at 25°C I'd be wearing shorts anyway

[bluemantra]

Does this denim stretch back out to original measurements with wear and then some more or just back to pre-wash measurements?

[yannis]

Pre wash measurement should be the original measurements. The shrinkage you will get in inseam will not come back. Also the thighs and in general the leg width altough will stretch some from post wash measurements will still be a little under original measurements. The waist can come back to original measurements if you put enough pressure to it.

[Alex]

@bluemantra in my experience, the waist will yes, other measurments may stretch less and as Yannis says, the inseam won't stretch at all

[profdbrk]

I've had one of those When It Rains, It Pours weeks now. I missed the previous run and have regretted it since. So this restock and then the new 16oz OD, I had to score both. 634 is my cut though I love'm all (though 555 I regard as good for other people). I'm at the age where I feel confident these jeans will out live me. That's not a bad thing. Photos to follow.

Post Wash Update
This is my second pair of UHR---the first were 777 some years ago and they are pretty much perfect in fit and patina. I wanted then as I did now to get all the shrink and stuff out of them from the first, if that's possible. I washed them on the shortest hot cycle without a spin rinse and hung them dry. They shrank one full inch in the waist and two full inches in the inseam. I'm delighted with the result and it's just as expected. There was no marbling or untoward consequences to washing rather than soaking, so it seems. I hope this helps, but I'd just say that (as usual) Iron Heart's declarations regarding size and care are spot on. What IH said would happen is exactly how they turned out. I'm going to wear the crap outta' them now.

[bluemantra]

@profdbrk How much did the thighs shrink?

[profdbrk]

@bluemantra , this pair started at 14.5 inches and after the hot wash they are now 13.5 in the thigh (measured the IH way). So about an inch. My overall fit is a bit on the loose side (I could fit a size smaller), but this is what I prefer, which means I tend not to stress stretch much at all. I hope this helps.

[Jeansman]

The 634 UHRs have such lovely fading that I thought I ought to break an unworn pair that I bought in December 2016. It took lots of tugging and a sore thumb before I could do up the top button, the waistband is so tight. However I managed in the end and they are comfortable to wear. I have put some Observer books in rear pockets to help stretch them out a bit.

[Jeansman]

@Chesson What is the difference between 634 UHR and 634S UHR, please?

[popvulture]

@Jeansman I don’t think Chesson is with IH anymore. But to answer your question, the S means selvedge. All of the jeans on the IHUK site will be selvedge aside from a couple things like denim work pants and overalls, but if you find a pair of Iron Hearts on eBay or elsewhere, there’s a possibility they could be non-selvedge, as Japan does make some of the models without it. Not sure about UHR, but it’s possible. Or could simply be that someone forgot to include the S in a listing.
