IH-888S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia gotta know what I’m talking about. UHR has been on the list for a while, so grabbing a pair was a no-brainer, 666-XHSib and 666-SBG as well. The pair of 888N I bought were a spontaneous purchase

[Oaktavia]

@Tago-Mago absolutely know what cha talking about

@Tago-Mago gotta catch ‘em all!

Reminder that soaking alone does not shrink the denim…you need agitation as well.

Sunny fades by the river today. 268 wears and five washes.

@goosehd facts!

[Tago Mago]

Soak and wash (delicate cycle, 20°C 400 rpm) done, approx. 1 cm shrinkage in waist, thigh and knee measurements. Inseam more like 4-5 cm, which gives them a great length imo

I thought I might put these on ice as I break in some others….Not I’m an impatient OCD

Post wash 🧽

Finally with me with a detail at one button fly

@Denimhead-0 great fit! - cool (and encouraging) to see the difference post wash. I just opened mine and tried them on and man they feel stiff and unwieldy and … “big-ish” … though I think it’s partly the ultra raw denim and 37 inch inseam. Just feels like a lot of denim! Never had something like this. If they shrink like everyone says they do they should be great …

now can I wait until the fall? …

@Denimhead-0 Great fit! And nice measurements. Thanks for posting these, can give people a good idea of what to expect (me included)

@Jord Thanks

@Denimhead-0 can i ask what you deem to be 'hot' soak? Is that 40 degrees? Thanks for the measurements! I get my pair today, so i cant wait looks awesome!

And did you get a tag 33? I feel my tag 33s are hitting the 33.9 or 34inch mark to start...

[Sunnergren]

I figured I can post my measurements as well. This is what I got after soak in bathtub for one hour (start temp 38C) and 50 min wash at 40C gentle, no spin and drip dry.

Diff after soak and wash:

Waist: -1 cm (88 -> 86)
Front Rise: -1 cm
Rear Rise: -0,5 cm
Thigh: -0,5 cm (68 -> 67)
Knee: -0,7 cm (48 -> 46,6)
Hem: -0,5 cm (43 -> 42)
Inseam: -3,5 cm

Minus signs are measured according to IH method, within parentheses are the actual measurements from RAW to post soak and wash.

I'll be getting my pairs of 888s and 634s today, and soak them MAYBE this weekend.

I'll post my measurements as well.

For those who have posted before/after pics, they all look great, and I'm more excited to get mine!

[RamblinRich]

@Denimhead-0 : congrats man, the fit looks fantastic! Enjoy them!

I was a bit surprised to see you only lost 0.5 of an inch on the inseam post wash.

@cyclops Not sure exact temp, pretty hot to the hand Hot. Tag Size 33, asked for 34” and IH crew came through as usual with exactly 34.
