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

[Fadez]

@jackdc100 I’ve never put mine in the washer and had them for years. Just tub soak and hang dry when needed. I did do an initial hot soak with as much agitation as I could get around to while doing other chores.

Ok gotcha. Thanks!

First UHR and first 634 - loving both the denim and the cut!

[Oaktavia]

@bobbychacha they look great especially with that UHF.

[bobbychacha]

@Oaktavia thanks brother! I think everything looks good with that UHF - IMO it’s one of the best!

Roughly about 20 more wears. B


Before and after wash

[Oaktavia]

@jmj looking good man, at around 60 wears now?

[jmj]

@Oaktavia Rough estimate of 60. I’m planning on wearing them another 14 to 20 days and wash them again.

Does the shrinkage on the 21/23 oz stretch back to how you bought them or should you buy to take into account the sizing after the initial soak? eg a 32” waist will shrink buy 1” after initial soak - should I buy 32” or 31”? Thanks

@Gavin666 They'll stretch back to where they were before, at least in the waist (not in inseam).

@Gavin666 Here is the information regarding shrinkage on the product page: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/IH-634S-UHR.html

If you look under the details tab you will find most if not all the information you’re looking for:

Thank you @tody for helping and excellent advice.

Looking snagging the last pair on IH Germany. The 555 give me diaper butt when I stand up and 666 do slightly whereas 777 doesn’t. Can someone who has these let me know what the butt/top block area is like on these please? I have a flat butt so don’t want a roomy Jean! These in a 31 seem spot on which a bit more room in the thigh and comparable to my 32 777 (obviously without the straight leg!). No other UHR cut seems to work as thigh gets to small. Thanks guys

The 634 has a similar rise to the 666 but has a wider profile thought. It's Iron hearts straight cut. It compares closer to the 666 but wider hip, leg and knee measurements. If you like the top block of the 666, you will like the 634.

[Gavin666]

@yannis thanks. Sounds ideal but unfortunately IH Germany don’t cover taxes and fees and I thought they did. Will have to wait for UK restock.

My 2016 UHRs have now had one wash no soaks. Here they are after 6 months wear.

[bluemantra]

@Jeansman those look great. so you just wore them straight out of the bag with no wash or soak?

[Jeansman]

@bluemantra Indeed I did and still do!

[bluemantra]

@Jeansman do the fades ever shift after the first wash?

[Jeansman]

@bluemantra I didn't notice a great deal of difference at the time but it was noticeable. I never soak - I always wear them raw for as long as I can and then wash at a long temperature - in this case 30C to preserve the patch in particular and to limit shrinkage as these were tight (I bought nearly 8 years I got them out of the cupboard). Since they were washed they have started to fade faster.

A couple more months of wear.
