IH-777-UHR - Indigo UHR 21/23oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered
-
So I picked up a pair of these at Kentaurus two days ago.
Soaked hot for an hour, then an hour 40°C, 800rpm spin in the washing machine.
Was totally stiff after drying, but after an hour of commute in the car and a day behind the desk, everything already settled in nicely.
The 777 has become my go-to-cut, which still amazes me. Never thought I'd wear something labelled as slim or skinny...
This is a size 36, the waist is a little loose, but the thighs sit nice and firm.

@tody they really look great. And I’d rather have a little room in the waist and have the thighs comfortable than have the waist perfect but the thighs too snug. 777 is such a nice cut. I go back and forth between them and 666 (which is sometimes too small in thigh). UHR’s are just awesome

I quickly got used to the UHR.
It's really interesting how you need to find your path into heavy denim - I can remember when I tried on a 25oz @ IH Hamburg and said that I will never wear something like that. Fast forward one or two years, and I easily broke in my first pair last spring.
Now with the UHR, I followed the advice and general consensus how to treat them, and they were comfortable from the start. It's a stark contrast to what you feel in the store when you first lay your hands on them.
The only thing with this pair is sizing - in the waist they streched back and beyond noticeably. Not to the point that they're too loose, but they are rather roomy in comparison. Well - I can tuck my shirt in easily, so that's a bonus. I wouldn't give that a second thought if there hadn't been a size 35, though - 34 would surely have been too tight. Inseam is cool, though - didn't shrink that much, so I can do a Tokyo cuff for the first time!

About a year old. Significantly softer then my XHS but I think I like the fading pattern on XHS more

guys imma pull the trigger on the 777-UHR. Do you think a 60degree wash for 2 hours would shrink it enough?

If you buy them from us, you will get these guidelines included in your package:

If you buy them from somewhere else, the guidelines still apply

Man those look comfortable. For some reason the UHR is intimidating. How long before they became pretty comfortable?

Ok! Good to know

@Giles thanks Mr. Giles!

These landed today. Went for a 32 as have 32 in 21oz 777. Those that have had experience with UHR what do you think re the fit pre soak? Feels tight round lower thigh and knees but that may be the stiffness of the denim!

Approaching 2 weeks with my pair, pre-soak the fit was super stiff and tough to get a handle on how they fit. After a soak and wash, denim was still tight but has stretched to become a great wear in the cold. Still stiff behind the knees lol
Have they relaxed in pre-soak measurements?
-
@bluemantra I just tried them on, I didn’t put a lot of wear into them before soaking and washing. My jeans have stretched in all the right places with wear after giving them a soak.
I’d strongly encourage you to give your pair a soak just to get any shrinkage out before you get to really wearing them.
