Big shout out to Ben who looked out a tag36 which were 37.5. Soaked them and managed, somehow, to get them back on. I’m really happy with the fit. I have 888UHR which I had to admit to myself aren’t good on me.
I have been wearing them to work in, what is for Scotland, very hot weather. I own a coffee shop and stand in front of a hot, steamy espresso machine all day…..it hasn’t been a pleasant!

RE: Introduce Yourself Here
Hello.
Punks not dead.
All my life I lusted after a pair of engineer boots (In my youth everyone wanted to be Joe Strummer!). Of course this led to selvedge denim and now I’m down the rabbit hole…..
I stand at an espresso machine all day long. Every time I hear loose change jingling into the tip jar on the counter I imagine how much closer I am to a new, beautifully made bit of kit. I suppose it comes from being the youngest of 4 brothers and wearing ‘hand me downs’ most of my childhood (believe me, there wasn’t much life left in the clothes when it was my time to wear them). Now I only wear the best quality clothes I can find……enter IH.
Funny, I was ragging the arse out of my motor bike the other day on the way to work ( everyone who owns a bike has to ride it like a dick at least once a week, it’s the law!) and it suddenly occurred to me I was wearing my new IH jeans. Stamped on the anchors and rode the rest of the way like a vicar on Sunday.
Cheers.
Vince.

RE: IH-888S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans
Hi, I love the colour, the weight and how tight the fabric is. The cut, however, isn’t really for me. When the stars align and the UHR777s are restocked I’m going to be on them like a tramp on chips.

RE: IH-888S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans
So, here is my story which I know may raise a few eyebrows.
Bought my jeans in February. Soaked them. Washed them. Hated them.
Re-washed them at 90deg. Tumble dried them. Loved them.
However, the process completely destroyed the leather patch. It was, literally, like wood and eventually snapped in half so I cut it off.

RE: Where does everyone live?
Hello.
Bought some UHR888s in February and have an IHSH-62-ind on the way. Just happy to have found somewhere where I don’t feel obliged to apologise for spending so much money on clothes!
I live between Inverness and Aberdeen in Scotland. I own a coffee shop. After a busy day, there’s usually enough coffee in the cuffs of my jeans to knock out an espresso or two.
