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

[worn2fade]

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

@worn2fade looking great.

Here are mine at 8 months.

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

[jfox1980]

@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?

[warriors22]

@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

[worn2fade]

@Phil_NYC nice man! Mine are at 7 months and a couple days.

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

[Phil_NYC]

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.

[Phil_NYC]

@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.

[goosehd]

@Phil_NYC I thought your advice was spot on and why I gave you the upvote.

Thank you for adding your experience!!

[Bane011]

@Phil_NYC @goosehd Thank you guys, I appreciate it

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?

[1WayTrip]

@fadesandkicks

I would stick with 36 as will stretch back out. Check all the other measurements also though.

[yannis]

@fadesandkicks. Tag size means nothing. Measurements is what you want to focus and they have not being released. Having said that if this run is anything like the last one I would take same tag size as my XHS as they start bigger to account for the shrinkage.

[goosehd]

@fadesandkicks the trick with UHR is to buy them with the measurements that are closest to your ideal. You want them to fit perfectly out of the bag. When you soak and wash them the first time, they will shrink. After a few wears the waist should stretch back out to preshrink measurements. The thighs should stretch out some. Length will not stretch back.

@1WayTrip thanks

[fadesandkicks]

@goosehd thank you!
