IH-666-UHR - Ultra Heavy - Devil's Fit (Slim Cut)

[Appfaff]

Just so you can see, here is the progress my size 38 made.

First measures are raw, then the standard 2 hour cold soak and cold wash no spin - then I went warm soak warm wash no spin and then finally hot soak + hot wash and forgot to take them out before he spin haha - no harm no foul.

Great overview, Appfaff.

I'm about to soak mine, and I want as much of the shrinkage gone before I start wearing, so I think I should do a cold soak and then a hotter wash. The guidelines recommend a cold soak followed by a wash no hotter than 30 degrees celsius, but I guess that won't get rid of all the shrinkage - so I was planning on a 40 or 50 degrees wash. I was just wondering why it is recommended not to wash the UHR hotter than 30 degrees?

….one reason is that leather patches don't like hot washes!

[taksaha]

That's right, but I never had a problem with Iron Hearts leather patches after 40 or 50 degree washes, so was just wondering if there were other reasons.

[Fergz]

As I understand it, the hotter the soak the greater the shrinkage. I'll leave someone more expert than I to explain the 30 degree threshold however personally I'd have no qualms about turning the dial up to 40. As a sidebar I always soak in the bathtub….

I'm glad I didn't send these back. I had time to give them a good soak, dry, and wear around. Thighs were a little tight buy loosening up nicely. Thanks to @Appfaff for talking me into keeping them.
I also got bit on the back of the knee.

Glad you kept them! Post up some pics!

I received my first pair of UHR 666's last week. I soaked them in the tub. First, I hung them outside for a couple hours. Then I I hung them in the garage so they wouldn't freeze! My first day in them was yesterday when I wore them to work. I am really excited about them so much that I know that I have definitely been missing out.

What size u grab & how do they feel?

[732fraziea]

I grabbed the 36. My actual waist is a true 35 but my legs are big. Initially the legs were tight and I was able to button the waist without a problem(I do wish they had also made size 35's).  I would have went with 34's if they were sanforized. But since they are not I did the soak in [hot] water.
Right now the legs are snug. Matter of fact the back of my knees are feeling like they are chaffing from them!

They are… but the pain will be short-lived and the payoff will be awesome.
