            @summ3rhays you're post soak fit pics from a few pages back look spot on.

            @Vagrant I'm surprised you can move your legs in those.  Should make for some intense fades with a little love.

              @mikebarhoot , sorry dude but the only info I have compiled on contestants is real names and email addresses. People tend to get a bit "tin foil hat" if you publish that stuff online, and I only use it verify that people are indeed paid up participants.

                @BloodnThunder - I sized them up to 29 as they didn't come in 28, so in comparison to my Pure Blue Japan XX-014 in 28, they already feel like sweatpants after three wears.

                The XX-014s are an amazing cut and denim, but man my thighs ached climbing stairs.

                  My IH-666-UHRs day 3 from the tailor (needed a good amount of tapering from having big thighs and sizing up). ~10 days total wear. Got some light blues poking through already!

                    @tfahey00 - Great fit, and serious fade potential.  Nice.

                      These are likely from the same OG batch as my BB’s judging by the colour. The indigo absolutely flies out of them. I recommend working in them if you can, a days heavy lifting, building, or the like sets combs, whiskers and will start the thighs fading like in no other denim.

                      It’ll be interesting to see what the 888 batch does as first reports seem agreed that it turned out slightly darker.

                            Hey bud. So these jeans were made from different batches of denim?

                            Maybe so. Maybe not

                              Giles will be able to answer that for sure but I’m pretty sure multiple batches of UHR were made while the UHR jeans were still extant. These jeans are made from the final batch I believe.

                                  I remember now what happened.  The original mill that wove this for us said that they were going to have to stop as the UHR was buggering up their loom too much.  Haraki found another mill that agreed to make it, so this current batch of UHR used a different mill (so obviously a different loom).

                                  To all intents and purposes, the warp and the weft were same as we have always used.  But there will always bee subtly difference in the cotton and the indigo.  This ain't an exact science…
