      @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.

                      Might have to give up on this pair due to me sizing wrong and losing some lbs when the restock happens but I can say the looser fit is kinda nice to do everything in

                        @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

                                Hi guys, need help on sizing these jeans. I wear true 36 waist in 666, 888, 634. My 888 14oz OD are 38, but they’re literally same dimensions like a regular 36W pair. What waist tag do I get in 21/23oz UHR?
                                Thank you all, and I apologize for seemingly dumb question 🙌🏻😅

                                  When I size IH jeans I focus on only 2 dimensions: waist and thigh. I might be in the minority, but I don't size up / differently for IH unsanforized / unwashed. In fact, my UHR are the only size 33 IH jeans I own. All of my others are 34s. The waist of my 888 UHR was 33.8 when new. Eight months (and 3 machine washes) later the waist is 34.2. Seems like most people size up in the UHR but for me, I have never had luck shrinking jeans permanently. They might be tighter for a bit but they always just stretch out again.

                                    @Bane011 size them using dimensions (not tag size) to fit perfectly out of the bag. Soak them to shrink and they will be too small for a short time. They will stretch back to preshrink dimensions and you will have the perfect pair.

                                    Correction: The waist will stretch back to preshrink dimensions, thighs should stretch some, length will not.

                                      @goosehd You said it much better than me but that is exactly what I aim for - a perfect fit prior to any soaking or washing, especially in the waist.

                                            Hi everyone.
                                            This would be my first pair of raw denim jeans. I'm currently a size 36 in XHS.

                                            Would you recommend ordering a size 38 because of shrinkage?

                                            It’s not a game….. It’s a journey
