IH-777-UHR - Indigo UHR 21/23oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered
-
these have restored my faith in the 777 cut. earlier this year, I purchased a pair of the 777 25oz and no matter how I tried, I just couldn't get them to work, love was in short supply then I went on a crash diet and took the plunge with the 777/UHR…..Now I'm thinking should I take the plunge with the 25oz and see whether we can make it work...

Any ideas on these jeans [emoji158] I have soak them for half in cold water, do I need to soak again any help would be helpful thanks
Soak in hot water for about two hours. Then wash them in a machine inside out, while still wet, at a low temperature and very low or no spin. Air dry.

I’ve gotten a feel for his this forum works. and I know you can’t resist sexy thread like the 777UHR

Yes, unless you want your jeans to shrink a whole bunch when they finally see hot water. By that time though they’ll be ruined because the stitching will have broken and there’ll be tears at the sharply creased areas.
This is loomstate denim. It has seen no water since it was dyed with indigo. Until it is soaked and washed the stitching isn’t embedded and the denim is prone to creasing and tearing.

Good plan @Kasi
Here is the full, official Iron Heart wash guide for UHR denim:
“ULTRA HEAVY RAW (UHR) DENIM
An initial soak or wash is particularly important with this denim, as it is very stiff and abrasive in its raw state, so can cut through the constructional stitching if not bedded in. The denim is loom-state (there has been no post weave processing performed on the denim), so it will shrink and skew. Our UHR jeans are designed to be “shrink to fit”, so after washing or soaking a couple of times they will shrink to tag size. You are likely to see about one inch shrinkage in the waist and two inches shrinkage in the inseam. When you get your jeans, soak them in a bathtub or large sink of cold water for a few hours. Then turn them inside-out and wash them in a washing machine* at no hotter than 30 degrees C (circa 90 degrees F), you do not need to add washing powder or detergent. Ideally no spin (or very slow spin) and don’t put them in a tumble dryer, it is far better to allow them to air dry (still inside-out). Before they are completely dry, turn right side out and try to smooth out all the wrinkles.”

After a soak and a wash the fit is perfect. The fabric is amazing.
Even if it's hot here, I wear it as much as possible. More comfortable than my 777 XHS. Fading is very fast

I got my first Harley after hitting a Pick-4 for 15k at Belmont Park on Belmont Stakes day,in 2004. They even wrote about my story in the Harley Enthusiast magazine. At one point I was moving towards becoming a professional horse player. It’s incredibly hard,and time consuming.These days I bet 4 races a year.
