Couldn’t wait LOL. Had to confirm the 888 fit cuz I want to potentially buy more before the fall and this is my first pair. Really pleased with how these turned out post soak/wash. Love the weight and feel of these right from day one. Gonna have to rotate them in until summer heat is too much.

I did 30 min soak and significant hand agitation with water as hot as I could possibly tolerate. Hot hot. Did lots of agitation. Drained. Refilled with fresh hot water. Repeated 3 times.
Drip dry.

Numbers pre and post soak below.

W 18.5 / 17.75
Thigh 13.75 / 13.25
Knee 9.5 / 9.2
Hem 9 / 8.75
Fr 13 / 12.5
Br 16 / 15.5
Inseam 37 / 35.5

Legit shrinkage that I was hoping for.

Had to represent at the local rink with my 11-year-old daughter today … it’s our favorite Sat afternoon hangout …

@Mizmazzle Dang that is surprising on the length. She still hangs real sweet though! Love how it's looking.

@GoodtimeJohnny I dig how those 634ibs are hangin' and fadin'. Are those 14s?

@Denimhead-0 great fit! - cool (and encouraging) to see the difference post wash. I just opened mine and tried them on and man they feel stiff and unwieldy and … “big-ish” … though I think it’s partly the ultra raw denim and 37 inch inseam. Just feels like a lot of denim! Never had something like this. If they shrink like everyone says they do they should be great …

now can I wait until the fall? …

Bump. Price drop to $300 shipped.
Also still open to trades.

Very cool. Yeah I dig how it turned out a lot.

Agree this turned out fantastic. Was it a hard process? Messy? Worth the effort? Makes me want to give it a try on something ….

@iamjustdanny that’s a long time but they’ll be perfect for the comp!

@Oaktavia man that’s quite a line up to have waiting for you. I was hoping you’d respond
Super interesting stuff!

Saturday Iron Heart dump run.
My wife’s like, “When are you going to take that thing off?”
It’s coming along nicely.
Every once in a while I wish I went with a 44 instead of 42, but then 10 minutes later I love this size. The arm holes are a liiiiiiiittle snug is the only issue I have.

@chrisjohnnick agree - you gotta be able to look at em and dream and try to resist …

@warriors22 LOL I get it. I plan to leave the tags on my 888 UHRs until fall but it won’t be easy!

This seemed like the right spot for this …
Fun question - When you put a new pair on ice for later do leave them as is with tags on, or do you soak/rinse/wash and wear them a couple times to make sure you love em and then put them away?

I know there were lots of UHR purchases last week that will be iced, for example, and I’m curious how you all go about it!

Bonus: what are you currently holding for later?

@WhiskeySandwich I just got a pair of these last week and I'm finding the exact same thing with the fit. Been wearing them daily since I got em. This 633 with slightly higher rise is awesome in combo with this denim. Kinda wish the other 633s had the tiny bit higher rise, too, but I know lots of people love them as is!

@Twistlock we carry the exact same briefcase all the way down to the no shoulder strap

I haven't checked recently, but don't think you can get that dark brown any more. I have the matching duffels in two sizes

@Denimhead-0 Lookin' good. I busted out my type III version of it today - it's some bad ass denim.

@Sunnergren Oh man that's funny. I went 36 for a smidge more space. My plan (today, at least) is to put these on ice until fall, but we'll see how well that goes ...

@Denimhead-0 I'm struggling with the same thing! Just snagged the 888s, but the 634s are nagging at me ... Feel like I might want em down the line ...
