      @Kurbrubador not sure if this helps since it’s the opposite but here’s a comparison between the 888-Uhr and 555-sbg. IMG_6304.jpeg IMG_6303.jpeg

        @EvoChoppin Does help a lot, thanks! My 888 SBG seem to fit closer to your 555 SBG, so I might have tough chances to fit in 555 UHR unless I size up which I do not like

          What have I done wrong? I have soaked them for 1 hour in 55-60 degrees hot water. Then in the washing machine at 30 degrees for 1 hour and 30 minutes. They have only shrunk 1 cm in the inseam 😳 What should I do now?🙏🏻

            @JB In my experience this should be enough. How much did the other measurements shrink?

              @WithBongInHand about nothing 😳I also thought it was enough with that soak and machine wash!

                @JB Welp. It’s not a science. You never truly know with these things. I haven’t soaked my new pair yet but I wouldn’t even be mad. They fit almost perfectly dry.

                  I would wear them for a week or so, to make them loosen up a little, and then soak and wash them again.

                    These are my first UHR and I’m a bit of a geek when it comes to this sort of stuff so write it all down. I didn’t get much shrink from a soak, hot tap water for 1hr. Then a 30°c wash which did do a bit.
                    Hope this helps mate

                      @WithBongInHand, @V-P & @BenBWH Thanks a lot guys for help. I gave them a very hot soak and 40 degree machine wash. That help on the shrinking.

                        Can’t wait to break these suckers in. Had to grab a pic of the post soak stand up first though.
