634s-uhr on the cyclocross podium

finally, the temps in chicago are perfect for the ihj-114-blk. also day 39 of the ih-634s-uhr.

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)

bongripper - empty just arrived today

where my swervies at?? spinning this 99th dream rerelease on "coke-bottle green" vinyl today.

@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.

my first ironheart piece. purchased for a trip to finland a couple months ago from mildblend in chicago and couldn’t be more stoked on it. kinda ready for the temp to drop in chicago so i can pull this out of the closet!!! anyone else have one of these?

@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!

it’s all i run in!

@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.

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.

@meatmarketdenim1 99% of my upgrades are on tiny planes, but I’ll take it!

thanks @RubyRae! I'm on day 39 of daily wear and I love these more and more every day.
