I am now giving them the first try on - to @Denimhead-0 's point - how do you even do the buttons!? I have done 2 and that will do for today!!!
A little button hole TLC with a pair of needle nose pliers is my method.

Curious on the initial soak and wash instructions found here: https://ironheart.co.uk/pages/product-care-guidlines
Why do the instructions call for drip drying your UHR after the initial soak and then washing? Why not soak and then straight to washing without first drying? I assume there's reasoning behind this but I'm too dense to pick up on it.
-
@will6er as odd as it seems the best thing I have found for "adjusting" the button holes is a ring sizer wand.
-
@dirtyframer drum sticks work as well…
-
@goosehd I never thought of those!! My middle son has drum sticks laying around every nook in the house
-
To loosen up the button holes I've always just used the cap end of a Sharpie marker and wiggle it around. Has worked perfectly for me.

Thanks all- I am in the game with working buttons. I reckon 9 hours of wear and can do the fly, its softish and can see slight honeycombs.... They are too small for me but I knew that and I WILL break them.
-
@bob_z I wait til they are fully dry to avoid “knee pockets” or “knee bags”.

Giving my first pair of 666 a try in UHR. To be fair, these will probably get tried on and then parked for awhile, way too much in the heavy weight rotation that needs love. But I have been wanting to try a pair of 666 and didn't want to miss getting a pair of these in UHR especially with those measurements looking spot on for me.
-
@jpvisual I typically go 34 w 666 and 33 w the 888.
-
@Denimhead-0 thanks! What about the thigh? How does the rise affect the thighs? I'm guessing the fit can feel different in the thighs because of the lower rise? Meaning can you fit a smaller thigh measurement in the 666 or do you try to match what you have in 888?

@jpvisual this link is to a visual representation of the different IH cuts. As you will see, each cut is overlaid over the other cuts so you can see the likes and differences.

I personally find the thighs a bit bigger on the 888’s than the 666’s.

Hey what do you guys think of this fit? I picked a pair of 888 UHRs up and love them. Tried these out. It feels great. I'm surprised because I thought they would be too tight, but the thighs feel perfect. I definitely would not go a smaller size. The thighs would be way too small. The waist band is kind of floating on my waist, not snug but not excessively loose either. If I were in 888s I'd pass if the waist was like that but the top block and thighs seem slim enough that it seems ok. I'm familiar with uhr so I know this is how they'll end up.
