IH-888S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans

@Alex what is the rule of thumb for sizing with UHR - should you choose your regular size or size up? In my W32 the measurements show 32.2" only i.e. there is no allowance for shrinkage. Even if they stretch back out after some wear, you have to be able to get in them in the first place for that

Slightly bigger than you would want 21oz when new, to allow for shrinkage.
Мy next size is W33 which measures 33.5" dry. Will it shrink to 32"?
-
@Yoprst. What size do you wear on the 21oz?
-
If you are wearing tag 32 on the 21oz i would get the same tag size on the UHR. If you look at the measurements the UHR starts 0.4 of an inch bigger in the waist allowing for some shrinkage. Even it it shrinks an inch, you will get back to pre shrunk measurements within 2 wears.
-
@yannis I never wear 21oz before. 888 UHR W32 = 32.2" leaving only 0.2" shrink allowance which I doubt being enough. To stretch your jeans wearing them you have to get in them in the first place to start the process and this is my main concern
-
I understand. Are you basing your measurements from a pair of jeans you already own?. If yes, use the IH measuring guide and do not go by tag size. Get a pair with measurements as close as to a pair that you own and fits you well. For reference I wear tag 36 in the 888 and 634 cut and my UHR are the same tag size as the rest.

@Oaktavia that's progress Buddy, even on your xhs in just 30 days
-
@Fades-for-future thanks man, I am happy with the progress so far. The UHR is so crunchy and crispy. I had them turnup cuffed for the first few weeks and then decided to single cuff and stack 'em. I haven't faded jeans with stacks properly yet, so I'm looking forward to and excited about that.
-
@Oaktavia will keep following your progress on both Jeans fella

@Fades-for-future cool

@Mizmazzle it's an amazing denim! While 25oz is my favorite, this is too in many ways. It's a little less thick, but the creases stay put with UHR. Really crisp folds, especially if you get the areas wet where you want folds to stay put. It's hairy in texture and a beautiful cowboy blue too. It's terrific stuff really, I really love it a lot. And I think the fit is better than my XHSib. I highly recommend UHR my dude.
