      @worn2fade you notice stretch beyond original raw measurements?

      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?

      I think the best advice is to shoot for 37” in your case. 36.5” minimum. (Size chart sizing.)

      EDIT: cause grabbing a 37” measurement one will drop it down to 36” and it shouldn’t stretch out more than it needs to. Just make sure all the other measurements are good for you.

        @worn2fade appreciate that man. I laid out
        my most worn pairs tonight and they measure about 37.5-37.8” in the waist, so it seems like I’ll want to use those dimensions as a starting point. It’s a bit of an uno reverse from typical sanforized sizing but the size charts seem to suggest this is the right strategy. Thanks to you and others I think I’ve wrapped my brain around it 🙌

          @RamblinRich just as an example of recent 888-xhsib tag 34 was 34.2" waist. Both me and worn2fade asked for big waist and got 34.6".

                    One thing that I noticed is that the front rise of these seems to be a bit higher than all my other 888s of the same size. Will this shrink at all in the first wash?

                      @VegaS10 it will shrink a tad bit with cold water or a little more if you hot wash it

                            @Luke_is_back The best way to pick a pair of UHR jeans is to find a pair that matches your ideal measurements upon purchase.

                            They will shrink upon the first wash, the waist will stretch back out to pre wash measurements, the thighs will stretch out some. The length will not.

                            Edit: sizing up may not be ideal especially depending on what you’re comparing it to. Also, sizing up often leads to a pair that are too big when they stretch back out.

                            A pair too big out of the bag often leads to jeans that will always be too big.

                              @Luke_is_back I went up one size based on the measurements and did a hot wash in the washing machine on delicate cycle. They shurk perfectly and fit great with a little stretch they have after. I personally like washing my unsanforized pants with hot water to get them as dense as possible to help with wear and tear for the future in my experience.

                                  I need 34” exactly, thinking I go 33 w and request a pair on larger end of 33.

                                    @Denimhead-0 the measurements between a 33 and 34 are basically identical aside from the waist. You’d be good going with a larger 33 or smaller 34, but if you need the extra thigh space or bigger hem I’d say go up.

                                      @Luke_is_back I agree with what goose responded to you. In my case (with the previous UHR launch,) I went true to size (34,) in this case looking at the size chart, I would’ve went 34 as well.
