IH-777S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans
-
Thanks @Heavy_blue and @Kasi I’m loving them. I probably won’t get them hemmed just because I like big cuffs. Especially in the summer with sandals or clogs, but I sometimes fold the the top of the cuff back down to make it look not so high.
-
You will have to educate me. What’s a Tokyo cuff? I guess I can google it
-
I just end up doing this most of the time
-
Here you go
-
Thanks @Kasi sort of the opposite of what I did. I’ll give it a try
-
Tokyo cuff is the way to go my man!

Tokyo cuff ftw.
ya or keep the Filthy Cuffs brah
-
@Oaktavia ya I normally just keep the cuffs “Filthy” plus they will lose a little length once they start getting worn in a bit more and if I eventually soak them.

As promised, here is the 6 month update on my dry uhr’s. As you can see, they are holding up exceptionally and are fading quite beautifully despite the non pre-soak. I have worn these almost daily for the past 6 months, and worn pretty hard at that. They’ve been on numerous hiking trips, mountain bike sessions, and hundreds of long dog walks lol. These thing’s definitely got some miles behind them.
However, I’m sad to say that I’ll be ending my dry experiment with these 777’s and instead continue on with it in my new pair of uhr 666’s. My lovely girlfriend recently gifted me a very nice pair of custom Lucchese cowboy boots and the shaft’s circumference is simply too large for the narrow legged 777’s, hence the switch.
Though, I’m really enjoying the 666’s look. I love the baggier leg. I’ve been meaning to make the switch to a more roomy jean for a while now and happy I had the incentive to do so. Kicking myself a bit for not initially going with the 666’s upon drop, (especially when I literally tried on both to see which I liked more!) but oh well. They really are a “grown up” skinny jean and I’m happy I made the change, especially considering they are going to be worn for several years to come.
I’m also going to include a side-by-side comparison of my 6 month 777’s vs. my 0 month 666’s to compare the denim evo and see what y’all can expect at the ~6 month mark.
If any one cares, I’ll be posting the progress of my 666’s in the relevant thread.
Cheers to everyone and happy fading.
-
Thanks @Kasi !
-
I’ve kept mine dry and at 30 days in the initial fades are insane. They’ve gone from dark indigo straight to white in spots. I like my pair more each day. I get the swap to accommodate the new kicks. Sounds like you’re keeping the 666 dry too?
-
@super-thermite Yeah, 30 days was when I first began to see fades as well. Happy to hear you're enjoying them. And most definitely! Dry all the way
For now at least... -
Excellent fades @kelton
Let’s see those boots with the 666’s!!!

Great fades

I still do not understand why anyone would purposely avoid a soak with these unsanforised jeans. "UHR denim fabric starts at 21oz, and becomes (approximately) 23oz after shrinkage". Would you not want to gain the 23oz weight? Would you not seek the strength and settling of the threads? Wouldn't you want to avoid fade shifts? I just...don't get it. The objective concept of unsanforised denim is to shrink to fit. It seems the point is entirely missed here... @kelton @super-thermite
-
I don’t get the point either.. everyone deserves his/her own journey in the world of IH but it’s part of the whole process on this denim.. if you don’t wanna do it why don’t buy a 21oz or anything else that’s been washed and sanforized.. you’re not gonna hit a nail with your smartphone instead of a hammer cause you think it’s cool right? That’s just my 2 cents
