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

[fadesandkicks]

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?

@fadesandkicks

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

@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.

@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.

Question regarding waist shrinkage on these:
After the first wash, the waist is expected to shrink by approximately one inch. This reduction reverts with wear to the original pre-wash measurements, or is it permanent?

[worn2fade]

@Damocles it reverts brother. After the first initial soak you do, you will lose that inch. In my personal experience it stretches back out within the first 1-2 days of wear. The first few hours does most of it but after a couple days, they sit great.

@worn2fade
Thanks pal! Happy Easter:)

[goosehd]

@worn2fade Thank you!

[worn2fade]

@Damocles happy Easter, God bless you brotha!

@worn2fade you notice stretch beyond original raw measurements?

[worn2fade]

@wjw honestly, not entirely certain. I don’t remember what measurement they started as and I got them from ISP not IH so I don’t have that fancy little sheet with the measurements on them lol.

[nrtphotos]

How quickly did these sell out in previous runs? I seem to remember they sat longer than normal?

I don’t really need more jeans but I’ve got a gift card waiting for a home….

[goosehd]

@nrtphotos This could possibly be the last run. If you want them, then do not hesitate.

Wondering this too. I usually buy at 36” and then it stretches out to a comfortable dimension.

So with the raw denim, if I measure my worn-in sanforized pairs and they are measuring 37” after all the stretch, I should shoot for a 37” with the raw pair?

[Phil_NYC]

Interesting how close the 33 and 34s are. My ideal waist is right at 34". Wonder if I should request a small 34 or a large 33.

[RamblinRich]

I’m very tempted to delve into these UHR indigo waters, especially if this might be the last run of this denim. Does anyone know what the variability in waist measurement is like within a tag size? I’m tts 33” waist, so like a previous poster im unsure whether to request a small 33 or a large 32. I’m more risk averse so I am more tempted to try a shoot for a small 33”. I’m worried a 32 will just be too tight for me post wash.
