@Oaktavia man I fuck'n love how UHR fades. Must be my next project once my XHSib are a bit more faded. How many washes are you in now?
-
@FlavourFade hell yeah dude UHR is so fun to fade. Quicker to give up indigo than XHSib. Yesterday was wash #4.

@Davids_denim do it man. That’s exactly my plan during the bridge! I’m 7 months into them and want to hammer them during that time.

@Oaktavia you're fades are amazing i read the story about you're 190z overdyded "sleep shrit " thats hardcore but i completely understand the devotion. Ive just got a quick situation or question for you. I recently got a pair of 555 ultra heavy 21oz superraw sandpaper indigos size 31 and had them hemmed and was ready to hot soak and machine wash but i cant. I cant brcause they fit the way they fit kinda tight and i only can get a finger in the waist. So ive got a quandrey in which if I soak them they just wont fit me period end stop so whats you're take on if i just were them raw? Of course im working on a pair of 25oz 777's currently so i cant put them through the ringer just yet but they fit good raw just a thought

@jrb1975 are you referring to 21oz denim or UHR 21/23oz denim? Regular 21oz won't shrink so you'd be fine if they fit now. They will stretch out with wear as well. If you mean UHR, the inseam will shrink and not stretch back, that would be more of a permanent shrink. The waist will shrink and stretch back out so if they fit well now you might be alright. Might want a second opinion though.

@Oaktavia thanks for taking the time. Im referring to uhr i only wrote 21oz because thats the weight they start at until soak and wash to turn them to 23oz. Im not as concerned about the waist as i am the legs only because if they were to shrink much they would be to tight because there already tight but just going for a walk and wearing around the house i think theve stretched a bit. But mainly do u think it would be a bad idea just to wear them as is with no wash or soak and maybe down the line 6 months or so do a bathtub soak while wearing them i dont know how much trouble id be in down the road if they shrunk after they were already broken in or what would happen actually because right now as is they fit great maybe better then any ironheart jeans i own which is 4. Thanks
