@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...
-
@jpvisual you could do a cold wash they should be fine. If you feel they need to shrink more you can always give them a hot wash. I had to do a hot wash with my pair after the cold wash because they didn't shrink enough for me on the first go around.

Getting some fresh air -
Amazing wear on your pair of UHR’s and XHSib’s @Oaktavia you planning to continue the journey on these 2 after your summer project in the 16ozer’s? Still lots of life left with the heavyweights. Would be awesome to see them worn till they’re unwearable
-
@RoxRocks86 I'm definitely going to continue wearing them, for sure. I just wanted to get them to a reasonable number of wears before I pause them. 684 for the summer, Loom Breakers in the fall. From there, I want to start wearing PIH7ANN and 634 21oz LHT I have. The Loom Breakers are very fast fading, so hopefully I can move to the two 21oz sooner in 2027. Oh, and since I will be focusing primarily on one pair at a time from here on out, I will also start wearing my 805s a couple times a week indefinitely. Which I know sounds contradictory, LOL.

@jpvisual Fantastic! Not to much shrinkage? The fit looks spot on! With that fit and this fabric it will be a fading rocket. Looking forward to seeing your journey
-
@Sunnergren thanks! They ended up shrinking as stated on the website, pretty exact actually. They feel great. Yeah totally stoked on these. And thanks IH crew for pulling this pair for me.

@Oaktavia another level man, has to be the best looking UHRs I’ve seen to date. I’m at 57 today, I promise I will update at 300 and I happy if they look 50% like yours.
