    • RE: Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

      the mezcal rabbit hole is deep too if you like to nerd out. look up a spirit called “sotol,” it’s made similar to a mezcal but not with cactus in the part of mexico my family is from. sipped neat it is glorious.

      @mclaincausey valtteri is great and a total ripper on the bike. i’ve gotten to ride with him and tiff a lot through work and they are both great people. got to kick it at his place in lahti when i first visited a couple years ago. honestly sometimes i think he enjoys cycling more than driving haha.

      @Jeansman hell yeah, bet you’re stoked they are finally seeing some action. did you skip the initial soak/wash? i’ve heard its necessary with UHR so the fibers set. mine stretched back to pre-soak measurements in the waist pretty quickly and are legit perfect now. i haven’t done any wash besides the initial yet, but will likely sometime after day 60 or so. looking forward to seeing the fades!

      @VVV my wife and I saw them do a free show outdoor show a few blocks from our place at the Logan Square Monument in Chicago back in 2015. they played "into ruin" from miserable and stretched it way the f out. it was so good. we twisted up a few fat ones and got stupid high and they steamrolled right over us.

      pulled the trigger on some 634s-uhr and i am beyond stoked on these!

      the cuffs are huge, yes, but i dig the style. will likely get them hemmed at some point, but i love a big ol' rockabilly cuff.

      since this forum was a huge help in finding the right fit for me, below are my pre and post soak/wash measurements done the IH way... (in inches with silly american fractions haha)

    • RE: IH-555S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans

      @Mizmazzle I think your suggestion of 888 might be the right move for me. I'm also headlong into a training block for cyclocross season, so my thighs aren't getting any slimmer anytime soon haha.

    • RE: IH-555S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans

      thanks for the input guys. I'm giving them another go now before I pull the trigger on an exchange. I'm noticing if I wear them a bit lower, like just below my hips, the thighs have a bit more room, but when I sit the back rise drops a lot and puts a lot of underwear on display haha. if I wear them higher up (as it seems they are supposed to be worn given the higher rise?) then the thighs are definitely too tight. mind isn't made up completely yet, but it seems like my waist to thigh proportions just need more in the thigh.

      I would say that if nothing ever changed in the fit, they'd be good. While I do have some classic straight fit Edwins that I like, more often than not I wear fairly slim cuts, but admittedly I don't have any experience in this heavy of a weight. Really my only concern is that after a soak and wash the thighs will just be too snug and won't really stretch back out. I can definitely live with some discomfort as they break in and stretch out.
