@goosehd working on some UHRs so I have a bit of time

@JoshC waiting on these too. Hopefully in the future.

In any given tag size in the chart what is the tolerance up or down? Example if the chart says thigh 12 inches, what is the maximum up or down of that number?

@CosmoSix5 I just soaked and washed a new pair of UHR 888s @35c. I had .5 inches of shrink in the thighs and everything stretched back to post soak/wash measurements after a few days. If it fits well pre wash it will be good.

@M.EDS Definitely go by the measurements and not the tag size. Also be aware that the 888 has a pretty roomy mid/high rise. It's not a slim fit high rise. It all depends on how you're built. Talking to @WhiskeySandwich before, I'm similar in that my mid-thigh to knee is always the bottleneck with the 888s, not the upper thighs. It's still great, but I go for the smallest waist I can manage to keep the top block from looking bad. As I stated in my other post. The 21oz definitely has give and I've stretched them out in all areas including the entire thigh/knee. I'm a camera operator though and get into all kinds of crazy positions with these jeans. I would say if they are pretty snug but not uncomfortably tight and irritating you're right where you need to be. I second @WhiskeySandwich on the waist sizing.

Back from repair and still going strong. I bought these 1 size too big. I've learned to size down 1 inch in the waist from where you want them to end up. These have also loosened up a lot in the thighs to the knee (even though people say they don't change). My own body measurements thighs etc haven't changed a bit. Maybe just the 21oz. My 21oz sbgs also loosened up a ton. These are super soft and very comfortable now. Great summer jeans! Still going to wear these a lot.

@Giles thanks this is helpful. Probably trapezoid judging from the photos, but not really sure that means in terms of waist band difference?

@yannis other way around. The rise is lower on the 666 so the waist band should fit differently I'm guessing.

For those who wear both the 666 & 888 how much do you size up in the waist band measurement to account for the rise difference?

4 days of wear and these have stretched back to post soak/wash measurements. I definitely have a long way to go with these. I really dig this fabric. My favorite pair of IH jeans to date. I personally don't find it uncomfortable at all, even new. It's a bummer these UHR will not be made anymore. I hope IH introduces a raw shrink to fit back in the lineup in the future. Amazing jeans!

@AskAxel did you put them in the wash after you soaked them? If not you should do that. It's the agitation that will shrink them more. I soaked at 35c (I read later 30c is better to avoid marbling, but mine were fine) for an hour, then washed delicate no spin or detergent. They shrunk exactly the amount stated on the website. 2 inches in length, 1 inch in the waist, .5 inches in the thigh.

@Sunnergren thanks! They ended up shrinking as stated on the website, pretty exact actually. They feel great. Yeah totally stoked on these. And thanks IH crew for pulling this pair for me.

@Sunnergren yeah all good. I'm really happy with how these turned out!

@Sunnergren thanks man! They are still very wet, but the thigh shrunk .6 inches. That's too much. I'm hoping that measurement changes when it is fully dried or at least when I wear them. I remember my 526L measurements were more drastic vs when they dried it was much less.

@cyclops interesting. That's not what it says on this IH website page. I soaked at about 95 degrees. It says 40C on the website for the raw denim. We'll see. Thanks

UHR veterans. Does this fit and cut look right? The waist feels snug, but comfortable right now. The thighs feel ok. Slight tension on the knees when I sit, but not uncomfortable. Can't tell if the top block/ seat is good since I don't know how they'll be post soak/wash? They seem like they'll be pretty damn tight after the wash though. Thoughts, good fit or not?

@RocknRoll the arm twist is normal and I think it's on all the Lefty jackets. I think it's a characteristic of the left hand twill denim. On the 19oz lefty jeans description it says they will twist in the leg. When you give it a soak and a wash (no soap), it will get softer. Wear it a lot and it will break in.

My 526L is my favorite Iron Heart piece to date. It's an awesome jacket. Enjoy!

@Sunnergren good to know. Yours are looking great

@Rangadello great fit, you did well on that one!

@Sunnergren wow they stretched past the pre-wash measurements, good to know. Thanks!
