IH-666-UHR - Ultra Heavy - Devil's Fit (Slim Cut)

[gazeboarder]

Is the color much lighter than the regular 21oz denim?  The pictures make it look royal blue compared to the midnight blackish blue of the regular 210z denim.

I have the 555-01's.  In person what is the difference visually in terms of the denim.

I also want to say as a 6' 3" 195lb cyclist who normally wears a 36 in all Iron Heart denim the measurements look great.  It's great to see the thigh's at 13.0 and the leg opening under 9.0.  I feel leg openings in the 8.25 to 8.75 range is the sweet spot for a size 36.

Keep the new options coming all the new stuff lately has been great.

These look so amazing. I was planning on instacopping them but now that Florida's summer weather has kicked in I don't think I could do it. I wore 19 oz Samurai 710s year round with not much issue but I guess IH uses a tighter weave because my SExIH633 are absolutely brutal at 20 oz pre soak. I'll probably end up caving and getting a pair anyway though if a second run is made.

Anyone have any thoughts on my color question?

I've never seen the UHR in person, but I'm pretty sure Giles answered this question in the 1955 UHR thread, and the answer was yes–it looks bluer and lighter, and of course fades faster.

If someone emails me, then I will take a photo of a few denims together.  My bandwidth to remember posts like this "after hours" is shite.  I can't ignore/forget emails…

Great fit.
I am waiting for mine. Will arrive on Tuesday. Was thinking of waiting with wearing them until my 666s are falling apart. But now I do not know. My 666S are in for a repair anyway. So…..

Just ordered a pair of these, my first pair of raw denim jeans.  I ordered waist 33, think they should be fine but a bit unsure!  My Levi's and other jeans and trousers are always W32 L34, so what you reckon?

[Seul]

Levi's sz 32 could be close to a 34" actually after some wear… So the 33 should be ok...

[Jaylaz]

So am I right in thinking the 33's start off at 34 waist then shrink to 33 after a soak but stretch back out to 34 waist with a bit of wear?  Then do they shrink back again after a wash or remain at about waist 34?  Sorry, want to get this right!

[Seul]

33 is 34 before a wash (or soak), 33-ish after one, and will get back to 34-ish after some wear… They might shrink a little bit after another wash, but that will only be temporarily...
