IH-888S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans
-
Here is the full, official Iron Heart wash guide for UHR denim:
“ULTRA HEAVY RAW (UHR) DENIM
An initial soak or wash is particularly important with this denim, as it is very stiff and abrasive in its raw state, so can cut through the constructional stitching if not bedded in. The denim is loom-state (there has been no post weave processing performed on the denim), so it will shrink and skew. Our UHR jeans are designed to be “shrink to fit”, so after washing or soaking a couple of times they will shrink to tag size. You are likely to see about one inch shrinkage in the waist and two inches shrinkage in the inseam. When you get your jeans, soak them in a bathtub or large sink of cold water for a few hours. Then turn them inside-out and wash them in a washing machine* at no hotter than 30 degrees C (circa 90 degrees F), you do not need to add washing powder or detergent. Ideally no spin (or very slow spin) and don’t put them in a tumble dryer, it is far better to allow them to air dry (still inside-out). Before they are completely dry, turn right side out and try to smooth out all the wrinkles.”

Threw on the UHR’s while my XHS are drying up. Never been a big cuff guy but decided to do it for the funsies.

My UHRs, worn basically every day since August 1, 2025. Couple washes.
@worn2fade - check out the back of the left leg fade. I’m 6ft tall but all torso (29.5 inch inseam). Been a ridiculously snowy winter in NY and I drive a Bronco with pretty big tires. That fade is from my leg leg sliding against the salty door jamb as I “fall” out of the car with my baby legs. I think that’s why it’s kind of green, from the road salt.

@Phil_NYC how interesting man. Looks pretty dope. I stopped the whole climbing/sliding and now I just jump in and out of my truck

-
@Phil_NYC also live in NY. My 888 XHS got a super prominent knee fade on ny left knee from always having to kneel to add air to my tires.

@Johnnyutah247 Ha! I know that drill all too well.

These UHRs have finally softened up. They aren’t like my sweatpant-y 21 oz, but very comfy nonetheless.

@Phil_NYC They look very comfy! Great fit.

Any updates on when these might be restocked?
