IH-666S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans

Man, this UHR is something special.
I’ve had much more painful denim at lower weights.
Question for the pros, how’s this compare to the xhs?

[pechelman]

Uhr is much harder faced, crispy by comparison, and less breathable. Xhs is definitely softer and more cozy feeling, almost like the inside is brushed, while also feeling thicker and less dense.

I.e. you need both

[Davids_denim]

@pechelman I absolutely do need both

[Kfactor]

Any idea of timeline for a restock?

Not at the moment, no ETD on our order

guys i have measured my pair of jeans... i am a size 34 normally. Would the 34 in IH 666s UHR fit me post soak? The thighs and waist seems pretty good.
Is it engineered to be a 35 ish pair and shrink to a 34 post soak and machine wash? the latter would be the question.

Thanks before!

Hi @freiheitsgrad. There is no exact science with denim and how it reacts, but we expect an approximate 1.0" shrinkage in the waist with the pre-wear wash/soak, but will then stretch back out to approximately pre-wash/soak sizing with time and wear. So it is advised to size for them to fit pretty spot on from the off, with a touch of wiggle room to allow for the shrinkage. For all intents and purposes the waist will end up roughly around where they start out the bag once the shrinkage has been counteracted by the stretch.

Round 2 in the books. These have been worn from October-March or so for the past two winters and washed probably 10 times. The iPhone does some weird things with blues but these pics are fairly accurate. Love this denim.

[Davids_denim]

@SKT awesome fades!

[SKT]

@Davids_denim thanks man! Gonna miss em this summer!

Here’s another pic of how they began winter #2 compared with how they ended

[Davids_denim]

@SKT really fast fades here! Are you washing once a month?

[A Former User]

@SKT looks very very cool! UHR is fading so nicely

[SKT]

@Davids_denim almost that. Depends on what I’ve gotten into. I wash all my stuff too frequently probably

[Davids_denim]

6months 3 washes, not counting the initial soak+wash.
Feels really broken in now, very comfortable.
Threw in the indigo invitational bandana for a bit of color.
