I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but how does this denim compare to UHR (e.g., re breathability, comfort, fading, and shrinkage from raw)?

@JohnM I would say they are similar in terms of breathability but you would struggle with both jeans on a hot day. The comfort factor, you will have to put in some work to get both of these where you want them, slightly more so with the UHR I find, but is known for the amazing fading potential!
In our hall of fades. https://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/hall-of-fades we have examples of the XHS and UHR as well as other denims.
Both will shrink, and in our experience, UHR shrinks more than XHS, but shrinkage is not an exact science. Each denim will have product specific details regarding what to expect. The waist will have a tendency to stretch back out to pre-wash sizing where as the inseam will not. We advise to wash or soak UHR and XHS denim prior to hemming so one can remove all the shrinkage.

So stoked to get these on the restock!

@ShopatIronHeart seeing as how we're coming to the end of March, is April realistic on a restock? Trying to figure out my budget in case the 526L and the 888-XHS drop close together!

@ashigaru been checking the calendar daily for a month in hopes of seeing the return of XHS

Yesterdays ride with the 888’s. Dress for the slide.

Just put these on a a pretty long stretch not wearing them. I think wearing a stretchy belt has made all the difference. They stay sitting higher up now and don’t subtly hang a little low during the day, saggy effect I hate.

I’ve never worn belts really, but the 888 and my Studio D’Artisan tapered really benefit from a comfy elastic belt.

Noticeably more comfy now that they sit where I want them to haha
