IH-888-UHR - Indigo UHR 21/23oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut

@TJA_Crew those look amazing!!

I picked up this pair on eBay, the seller said he has only given them a hot soak to get shrinkage out and his measurements were accurate. I noticed last night when I tried them on that the inside seam on the right leg is pulling out a little (see pics below). Is this something to be concerned about?
Cosmetically it bugs me a little. I brought it up to the seller and he apologized and said he would pay to have them repaired or handle it however I prefer, so he seems like a decent guy, I’m just not sure if it matters much. Thanks for any insights.

strange
, doesn’t look like it’s damaged -
Ok thanks. As they wear in it’ll be less noticeable so I’m not too worried if it isn’t structural.

@chucklando maybe someone of the IH crew can chime in
only tip i can give you is that a hot soak isn’t enough if you wanna play by the UHR rules. UHR needs to be soaked and washed before you’re gonna wear them. It’s on a loomstate base wich means the denim and the threads will get stonger when you soak and wash it due of the agitation. It’s part of the UHR process -
Like what @sabergirl said ^

Thanks for the your responses. Now that I looked a little harder, though, flipping them inside out and looking at the seams it actually looks like it’s busted in a few spots, causing the denim to pull apart slightly. Maybe they were worn without doing the soak/wash first causing them to thread to break.

Guess you are right , looks like they were worn without initial soak/wash .

Today I ordered a pair of these 888 UHR’s in a 33 which equals 33.8”. My ideal waist size is 33 1/4”. I know these will shrink about an inch then stretch back out, but will it basically stretch back out to how big my actual waist is or will it end up being too large? I couldn’t do the 32 being it starts at 32.2” and would shrink well past being able to put them on. (Also I don’t think any new 32s are in existence lol)

@harleylawhorn they could end up too large. However, the size difference you have described doesn’t sound extreme and you may be good with a belt. Also, many of us have reached a stage in life where a few pounds can easily be gained or lost in a weekend.

@goosehd That’s sounds about right, appreciate it! Life can be unforgiving, at least a pair of good relaxed jeans doesn’t have to be. Looking forward to them quite a bit. Didn’t want to miss out on the UHR run, this denim looks exceptional. Only other option for me was the 634’s that are gone now, can’t roll with the skinny/ slim 5’s and 7’s coming out next week.
