IH-888S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans

@kellohenkka These will shrink after their first wash... Of course they'll stretch a little, but they're literally RAW denim which is different from shrinking sanforised denim, I'd wait until IH post the size chart and go from there, as these are due to release soon and sizing might be different from the pair you tried on. You'd ideally want them to be a bit big, then shrink to fit...

My UHR shrank about a 1/2” in the waist on the initial soak/wash. They stretched about 1/2” over the original size after wear. I opted for a comfortable fit pre soak/wash and it was a bit snug post. After the waist stretched back out they were perfect.

@kellohenkka I would go up one size from your usual Iron Heart jean size in the UHR 888. It's always easier to get them to shrink a little more if they're still too loose then being too tight. You can always give them a hot wash if you need to shrink them a little more. My 888 UHR were still a little loose once I washed them in cold water. I ran them through the washer again on hot water and they came out perfectly
I own multiple pair of unsanforized denim jeans and have always stuck with the size up one rule and it hasn't let me down yet. The 888 UHR shrink up a lot with a hot wash. -
@kellohenkka Please email the IHUK shop: shop@ironheart.co.uk for sizing advice regarding this denim. They will be able to guide you through your questions.

XHS were too filthy for church so today, it’s some UHR action.

@warriors22 have you tried washing them in hot water yet? And if that doesn't work maybe throwing them in the dryer on low settings?

@jfox1980 gave it 3 soaks and 2 machine wash so far but haven’t thrown them in a dryer. Might have to give that a try. I jst feel the top block is way too big for my liking
