IH-777S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans

@TJA_Crew something that may inform your decision to buy or to wait is that this may well be the last run of UHR ever..

@alexswords I know!!!!

So I’m normally a 38 in the 777 cut. These sizes on a 38 are almost 1 1/2” larger in the waist. Should we be sizing down and get the extra stretch after wear?
-
@knappman74 The general advice is to take the pair that is closest to your ideal size from the chart. The jeans will shrink on the first soak/wash and be too small in the waist. They quickly stretch back out to pre shrink dimensions (in the waist) and you will end up with the perfect pair.
You may get some stretch elsewhere (excluding length) post shrink, but you can’t always count on it.
If they are too large from the beginning, they will always be too large.

Thanks goose. I think I will size down for these and do the stretching method. It’s closest to my original fit.
-
@knappman74 I just want to clarify quickly…it may be a day or two before they stretch back out in the waist. You have to work at it for a bit, but it doesn’t take long.

Yep understood. I’ve done it before. Was more curious about the shrinkage because I haven’t yet owned raw denim. Only sanforized. I’m ok with it taking time to stretch back.
