@goosehd You said it much better than me but that is exactly what I aim for - a perfect fit prior to any soaking or washing, especially in the waist.

When I size IH jeans I focus on only 2 dimensions: waist and thigh. I might be in the minority, but I don't size up / differently for IH unsanforized / unwashed. In fact, my UHR are the only size 33 IH jeans I own. All of my others are 34s. The waist of my 888 UHR was 33.8 when new. Eight months (and 3 machine washes) later the waist is 34.2. Seems like most people size up in the UHR but for me, I have never had luck shrinking jeans permanently. They might be tighter for a bit but they always just stretch out again.

I took my normal IH size but asked the guys to find me an XL with a wider than listed chest measurement.

@worn2fade looking great.

Here are mine at 8 months.

Black Wabash western
25 oz IB

Started rotating these in with my UHR. Loving the almost black color and beginnings of evo.

Untucked CPO
Rogue Territory chambray

Wore mine today due to endless NY winter situation.

@Yoprst You really take the best close up photos.

A nice byproduct of the new 888 IB is I am wearing my IH 292 much more often. I am big fan of double denim but tend to like the contrast DD look.

These UHRs have finally softened up. They aren’t like my sweatpant-y 21 oz, but very comfy nonetheless.

They make crunching sounds when I walk…here with the new IH 13 and a pink Standard H pink t shirt

@1WayTrip Thanks! I get more compliments on that shirt than anything else I wear.

@Yoprst - thanks!

@worn2fade - correct, 292! One of my favorite IH items.

Still a bit damp but wow are these jeans crunchy. RIP thumbs

@Johnnyutah247 Ha! I know that drill all too well.

My UHRs, worn basically every day since August 1, 2025. Couple washes.

@worn2fade - check out the back of the left leg fade. I’m 6ft tall but all torso (29.5 inch inseam). Been a ridiculously snowy winter in NY and I drive a Bronco with pretty big tires. That fade is from my leg leg sliding against the salty door jamb as I “fall” out of the car with my baby legs. I think that’s why it’s kind of green, from the road salt.

Interesting! I never would have guessed that.
