Beauties!

@Sunnergren good to know. Yours are looking great
-
UHR veterans. Does this fit and cut look right? The waist feels snug, but comfortable right now. The thighs feel ok. Slight tension on the knees when I sit, but not uncomfortable. Can't tell if the top block/ seat is good since I don't know how they'll be post soak/wash? They seem like they'll be pretty damn tight after the wash though. Thoughts, good fit or not?
-
@Lowlander thank you so much man! Your fades are an inspiration!
-
@jpvisual , they should fit well pre-soak.
After the soak/wash, they will shrink, and wearing them will put them back to pre-shrink fit.....with a little more give.
If they are comfortable now, you are good.
-
@jpvisual go with the specs you want to end up in. Like even after agitation and shrinkage, it will end up where you started off. So if they fit on the waist and your are happy with it and its the specs you normally have, the rest will take care of itself. Just follow the wash procedure similar to here https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//post/957122
Just make sure its soaked for awhile before wash.

@cyclops interesting. That's not what it says on this IH website page. I soaked at about 95 degrees. It says 40C on the website for the raw denim. We'll see. Thanks
-
@jpvisual I know man, but I was very happy with the same advice from this thread before buying mine.
In my experience they shrunk less than I thought, except the inseam which was dramatic.
You will fight them post soak, but it will be worth it. Big difference on day 10! I think your fit looks as good as it could be!
-
@Sunnergren thanks man! They are still very wet, but the thigh shrunk .6 inches. That's too much. I'm hoping that measurement changes when it is fully dried or at least when I wear them. I remember my 526L measurements were more drastic vs when they dried it was much less.
-
@jpvisual if its still damp, i gently tug and stretch it out a bit whilst its still drying. Just do this evenly across the waist. I found that to help a little...
