IH-888-UHR - Indigo UHR 21/23oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut
-
Today I ordered a pair of these 888 UHR’s in a 33 which equals 33.8”. My ideal waist size is 33 1/4”. I know these will shrink about an inch then stretch back out, but will it basically stretch back out to how big my actual waist is or will it end up being too large? I couldn’t do the 32 being it starts at 32.2” and would shrink well past being able to put them on. (Also I don’t think any new 32s are in existence lol)
-
@harleylawhorn they could end up too large. However, the size difference you have described doesn’t sound extreme and you may be good with a belt. Also, many of us have reached a stage in life where a few pounds can easily be gained or lost in a weekend.
-
@goosehd That’s sounds about right, appreciate it! Life can be unforgiving, at least a pair of good relaxed jeans doesn’t have to be. Looking forward to them quite a bit. Didn’t want to miss out on the UHR run, this denim looks exceptional. Only other option for me was the 634’s that are gone now, can’t roll with the skinny/ slim 5’s and 7’s coming out next week.

@harleylawhorn where’d you pick these up? I’m feeling the UHR fomo myself.
-
@Mizmazzle ironheart uk shop. I think they have one more 33 available. I asked James he said it measures 33.8 in the waist
-
@harleylawhorn oh dang!! I thought IHUK was sold out too. Thanks for the heads up. Sadly I think a tag 32 would be what I need. Thanks a ton for the info tho
-
@Mizmazzle not a problem my dude. The jump from 32.2 to 33.8 is crazy imo with just one size. It’s a difficult one to size
-
Post soak, first day of wear. The waist is great. Little pull up now and then just like any denim. Thanks for the insights @goosehd ! I’m enjoying them. Don’t think I’ve had a high rise since I was a kid, so getting used to them is interesting, but love the fit.
-
@harleylawhorn They look good and time for a soak/wash to shrink them. In a few days time, you will have the perfect pair of jeans.
-
@goosehd thanks dude! But this is post soak. I did about 45 mins in hot water bathtub
-
@harleylawhorn …soak alone will not shrink them. You need agitation to get them to shrink.
-
@goosehd Understood. Gave them a warm washer cycle last night. It def got the rest of the shrink out of them.
