I wear these a few times a week usually and have been washing more than the others. Here are the recent before wash pics:

This is a pair I bought in December 2016 and started to wear in early September 2024, after 2 months - see posts in IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo in https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/12082/ih-634s-uhr-21-23oz-raw-selvedge-denim-straight-cut-jeans-indigo/7?_=1731827530284

My December 2016 IH UHR 634s W32 L36 after 3 months. No soaks or washed, but sprayed with fabric refresher inside out once about 3 weeks ago, which made them go quite stiff.

My 2016 UHRs have now had one wash no soaks. Here they are after 6 months wear.

@Jeansman those look great. so you just wore them straight out of the bag with no wash or soak?

[Jeansman]

@bluemantra Indeed I did and still do!

[bluemantra]

@Jeansman do the fades ever shift after the first wash?

[Jeansman]

@bluemantra I didn't notice a great deal of difference at the time but it was noticeable. I never soak - I always wear them raw for as long as I can and then wash at a long temperature - in this case 30C to preserve the patch in particular and to limit shrinkage as these were tight (I bought nearly 8 years I got them out of the cupboard). Since they were washed they have started to fade faster.

Bought with less than a dozen wears off the forum, did a hot soak when first got them. Not currently wearing them, rocking 633 XHS for IIY5 but will come back to these after. Have 4 months of wear, I Just gave another soak, and then delicate wash. figured better have them clean in my denim pile that dirty for next 9 months.

@meatmarketdenim1 they look fantastic! And yes, definitely better to have a clean pair of jeans waiting for you than dirty.
