How does the UHR denim feel compared to XHS? Is the UHR tough to wear? I have a 19oz left hand twill type iii jacket. I love it. Great denim as a jacket! Not sure if I would want the 19oz as jeans though...i think.

@jpvisual in my opinion the UHR is softer and cause its smaller in Oz it feels more pliable. I feel its a combination of tough, soft at times, hairy but nice. I definitely love it. The 25oz is a beast initially, tough and intimidating if you havent tried it before. But once you get over the initial hump, you get used to it. Im still breaking that in though....its still early days. Im currently working on both but am using the UHR as my daily and its been awesome....

UHR remains slightly crispy over the long term, whilst 25oz will feel like sweatpants at some point.

@cyclops thanks for the info. @goosehd stays crispy similar to the 19oz lefty fabric? I find that keeps it's crispy rigidity. Totally love that tough denim as a jacket. Jeans, not sure and never tried.

@jpvisual not exactly like the 19L but close. The 19L are unique in that aspect. The UHR softens, but never will be as soft as the 25’s.

@warriors22 , fellow sneakerhead here: I see you in them Nigel's!

@jpvisual. The 19L as pants will not feel as rigit as the jacket. Not even close. Yes is a tighter weave and its crispy when new but they soften up very nicely with a velvety feel and they fade with alot of character. I wouldn't discount them based on how the jacket feels.

Always happy to meet another sneakerhead in the denim community!!

10 months in on this pair.

[Sunnergren]

@Phil_NYC they look amazing! Love the asymmetry low left leg.

@Phil_NYC they look incredible man

[Phil_NYC]

@Sunnergren and @Jord Thanks! They have become my favorite pair of jeans are about 1000% more comfortable that they were at the start.

[cyclops]

@Phil_NYC just for my knowledge how much more softer do they change? Or does it stay relatively the same by the 10th month?

[Phil_NYC]

First month was brutal, like sandpaper and the waist band would dig into my waist / hips very painfully. They gradually improved until about month 6 and then it was like they gave up the fight and became sweatpants.

@Sunnergren thanks. I just ordered a pair from IH. I saw your measurements pre/post wash. Did the thighs go back to the pre wash size or did they stay at the post wash measurement after wearing? I know the waist goes back, just wondering about the thighs, top block. The

@Sunnergren I saw your pre/post wash measurements. Did everything go back to post measurements including thighs and top block or just the waist? Thanks
