IH-1955-UHR - Ultra Heavy Raw 1955 Cut
-
The sizing looks pretty good on these for myself….kinda. Right in between 36 and 38. But scurd of the hem. What do u think they will loose, 1.5-2"??
-
Exciting!
Curious if SelfEdge will stock these (or any of the UHR) by any chance?
Only reason I ask is I have a bit of credit sitting over there… -
I'm aiming for that 31! A long shot question but any idea how much it'll shrink around the thigh area?
Horizontal shrinkage is always a function of the shrinkage you get in the waist. So if we get 1" shrinkage and the waist is 30, that is about 3%, so you will get about 3" in the thigh and the cuff.
By the same token, vertical shrinkage is a function of the shrinkage in the inseam.

About 2 inches - see sizing post above

OK, let me be the first to ask the first annoying question in this thread, are any of the 34's slightly over the pre-soak 35 than others, ie 35.5-36-ish? or are they pretty consistent.

I would love to see a comparison between the new denim and the old 21/23oz denim. These look brighter than the old ones, might be the lighting or the camera, though.

That would be awesome, thank you!

Amen to that

First wear of my W31 1955 UHRs. Rigid and rough in their raw state as Giles says! I was hoping for rain to moisten them but there was only light drizzle
They will go in a cold soapless wash tonight, otherwise I will be very sore (quite apart from abrasion of the constructional stitching)! Its nice that they've got the thicker thread of the 666 25oz.
The shape is very 1955 and the narrower hem should mean that they will not go down over my feet when I'm wearing lightweight shoes as I don't normally cuff.

What's in your holster Jeansman - Colt 45?
Yep! I've got a specially-made umbrella handle lol!
