@rimaarts I’ve been thinking about your dilemma most of the day and I’m not happy with my response.
What I’m trying to say is that there is quite a bit of variability in how something will shrink and stretch, which is very hard to define precisely.
I’m not trying to steer you away from UHR, but trying to stress that if you have found a cut that works for you, you may have better luck with the variability removed from the equation.
UHR is fairly easy to size if you’re only dealing with one specific dimension that you worry about. In your case, it sounds like you’re worried about the over all fit and the silhouette changing from your desired look.
The 634 will not become a different cut when it shrinks, but your worry is valid. How much the calves shrink is an unknown and the possibility of them stretching back out is even more uncertain.
I wish I could say for certain that post shrinkage that it would fit as you desire, but I can’t. To be honest, I don’t know if anyone can.
Your best bet would be to find the waist that suits you best and hopefully it has a calves measurement that when it shrinks suits you and your goals.
I hope this is a bit better explanation of what I meant earlier.
In my case the problem was I tried 14oz 38 and it was a nice and semi slim cut on me (I'm screwed if it shrinks kind), a year ago I tried different denim 40 size, was swimming in it and I find it hard to believe size difference was just one size.
I have a par of kaihara 16oz which are ok with empty pockets but phone wallet and keys and they become too tight. And too tight+unbreathable+ heavy is not something I want to pay 317£ for..
In the end I ordered 38, and emailed if they would be kind enough to find a pair with 15-15.5 tights, and if they will somehow send me a pair with 14.5 tights, it'll be a straight return... Let's see what comes in the mail... Ideally between those 2 pairs I tried, I might be 39... But let's see what comes in the mail!
Oh and judging by measurement table, 634 should be a pretty nice 38 on me... And 8 shouldn't be drowning in 40... So let's see what comes in the mail...

the 634’sare amazing. I’m really enjoying the one pair I have so to everybody buy these 634’s you will not be disappointed…. Seriously though they are a really great cut kind of that perfect in between slim straight and not too wide.
-
Just grabbed a pair. Has anyone soaked this denim while wearing them? A shop in the states that I buy from recommended doing this method with the UHR but I haven’t seen that suggested here.

Didn't expect all sizes to still be in stock 3 hours after the drop. Guessing it was a pretty decent-sized batch. Or demand wasn't quite as high as for the XHSib.

Looks like they're selling out at some of the USA vendors. An advantage of buying direct, IMO

Pointless rubbish espoused by Levi's.....Shrink to fit is a lovely marketing tag-line, but is meaningless.....Which is why we don't mention it
Well, of course you can (and people do), and it may make you feel good, but the end result will be the same as not wearing them.....

@Giles but Giles, a kid I knew, had a sister, who had a friend, that did that with her Jordache jeans...
-
@nurunuru Me either. I was expecting a quick sell out. Glad that I got my pair.

@Crease
Yeah came to same conclusion, im happy with what I have. Love my UHRs and they’re in great fading position when go back to them. Definitely agreed plenty more to try out in the future. lately been really wanting a straight black pair if can find pair of XHS or self edge got stocked up on 633 21oz SBG. Does the quest ever stop? Prob not lol but loving the journey -

@timmyboy As I understand it, the gospel as handed down by Haraki is:
Soak
> Let dry
Wash
Let dry
WearCorrected version. And @Kasi is correct in that you could wear them wet or damp to no harm, but you don't need to

I grabbed a pair of these and 888s yesterday, as both are my favorite cuts.
While they won't get much (if any) immediate wear due to temps in my area, I'll be rotating between the pair come next fall like @Oaktavia did last year with his xhs and uhrs.
