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

@Sunnergren thanks. I just ordered a pair from IH. I saw your measurements pre/post wash. Did the thighs go back to the pre wash size or did they stay at the post wash measurement after wearing? I know the waist goes back, just wondering about the thighs, top block. The

@Sunnergren I saw your pre/post wash measurements. Did everything go back to post measurements including thighs and top block or just the waist? Thanks

@jpvisual for my pair every measurement except inseam returned to pre wash. My waist actually surpassed pre-wash.
When I washed them two days ago I did 2 soaks, the first with a teaspoon detergent and the second without.
Then I washed them on delicate, 40 degrees, 400 spin, with small amount of detergent.
To be absolutely sure I got every shrink I could I washed them one more time, same programming of the machine but without detergent.
After drip dry, to bone dry, my measurements were almost exact the same as the first post wash. The waist was about 5mm larger.
Super happy with those results, no marbling or streaks and they feel so much better when clean.
Edit. All but the first soak was inside out.

@Sunnergren wow they stretched past the pre-wash measurements, good to know. Thanks!
-
@jpvisual Yes, mine did. Not much but noticeable so I started wearing a belt. I’m certain it depends on how you use and wear them. As a father of two small ones I’m constantly kneeling and similar to assist them

@Oaktavia stunning fades! Wow!
Thanks so much man!

Beauties!

@Sunnergren good to know. Yours are looking great

UHR veterans. Does this fit and cut look right? The waist feels snug, but comfortable right now. The thighs feel ok. Slight tension on the knees when I sit, but not uncomfortable. Can't tell if the top block/ seat is good since I don't know how they'll be post soak/wash? They seem like they'll be pretty damn tight after the wash though. Thoughts, good fit or not?
-
@Lowlander thank you so much man! Your fades are an inspiration!
-
@jpvisual , they should fit well pre-soak.
After the soak/wash, they will shrink, and wearing them will put them back to pre-shrink fit.....with a little more give.
If they are comfortable now, you are good.
-
@jpvisual go with the specs you want to end up in. Like even after agitation and shrinkage, it will end up where you started off. So if they fit on the waist and your are happy with it and its the specs you normally have, the rest will take care of itself. Just follow the wash procedure similar to here https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//post/957122
Just make sure its soaked for awhile before wash.
-
@cyclops interesting. That's not what it says on this IH website page. I soaked at about 95 degrees. It says 40C on the website for the raw denim. We'll see. Thanks
-
@jpvisual I know man, but I was very happy with the same advice from this thread before buying mine.
In my experience they shrunk less than I thought, except the inseam which was dramatic.
You will fight them post soak, but it will be worth it. Big difference on day 10! I think your fit looks as good as it could be!
-
@Sunnergren thanks man! They are still very wet, but the thigh shrunk .6 inches. That's too much. I'm hoping that measurement changes when it is fully dried or at least when I wear them. I remember my 526L measurements were more drastic vs when they dried it was much less.
-
@jpvisual if its still damp, i gently tug and stretch it out a bit whilst its still drying. Just do this evenly across the waist. I found that to help a little...
