@ShopatIronHeart any idea when this will return?

@Tago-Mago Unfortunately we don't have a date for the UHR restock yet.

@Freeman thanks mate. Makes my life (and the burden on my wallet) easier

So, here is my story which I know may raise a few eyebrows.

Bought my jeans in February. Soaked them. Washed them. Hated them.

Re-washed them at 90deg. Tumble dried them. Loved them.

However, the process completely destroyed the leather patch. It was, literally, like wood and eventually snapped in half so I cut it off.

@Vincent-Vega no I totally get this - makes a ton of sense. I have had this same experience with several pairs of jeans. These look great on you! What is it you like more, the color or the fit? Cuz washing hotter even just one time definitely can do wonders for unsanforized

@thevintagefuture

Hi, I love the colour, the weight and how tight the fabric is. The cut, however, isn’t really for me. When the stars align and the UHR777s are restocked I’m going to be on them like a tramp on chips.

[thevintagefuture]

@Vincent-Vega I hear you!..... And that sucks about the patch, but at least the end result was nice.

130 wears today and ready for a wash. Especially after seeing @Axel-HH's pair and how well it has taken to washing.

@louisbosco wanted to show you my progress with my pair. These are the ones I purchased at the Gos Vegas party.

They are in the wash now and I will post after photos when they are bone dry.

@Oaktavia I've been wearing my 888-XHS and have a brand new pair of the uhr's on ice. These make me want to wear them.

[Oaktavia]

@Johnnyutah247 That's rad dude! Going 50:50 (wearing one pair one day and second pair the next, repeat) has been fun, I recommend trying it out if you're ready. Thaw them bad boys out!

[Axel HH]

@Oaktavia oh nice that it inspired you Yours look awesome. I did my first wash at 120 days, so pretty similar. Looking forward to seeing your post-wash results!

[Oaktavia]

@Axel-HH Yeah man for sure! And thanks, the UHR really is a special denim. Nice to know you were at 120 with your first wash. I'll post here in a couple days after they're fully dry.

[louisbosco]

@Oaktavia amazing stuff. can't wait to see how they progress after the wash. I'm very tempted to take my new 634UHRs and start them soon..

[Duffputter]

@Oaktavia i’ve been following the journey between your alternating XHSib and UHR. Which of the two have become softer? I’ve had XHSib and XHS but never the UHR and thinking of picking up a pair.

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco thanks man, your competition pair of UHR you shared was a big inspiration too. I was just wearing my 634XHS around the house yesterday. I think that cut is the most comfortable. Stoked to see if you break out your 634UHR.

[Oaktavia]

@Duffputter I'm so glad you've been checking out the journey. XHSib is the softer of the two. But UHR I highly recommend.

[louisbosco]

@Oaktavia the denim is definitely the winner here. I'm currently enjoying the kapital century denim right now. they are slow and definitely age a lot different. I'll definitely be back in normal denim soon..

I love that normal means 23oz jeans.

Post wash clean jeans aren't dirty.
