[indigo_nico]

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)

@indigo_nico perfect fit nico, and cuffs can always be dialed in as needed.

[indigo_nico]

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

@indigo_nico My December 2016 edition UHRs are also on about 39 days of wear since I took the labels off and started to wear them in September. They have yet to see water apart from the odd raindrop. The darker photos are probably the truest colours.

@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!

@indigo_nico yes: I always wear them raw for a few weeks and will them wash them for the first time. @Giles will say you need to soak them before wearing to avoid damage to the constructional stitching as the coarse fabric can cut the stitches which need to bed in. Personally, I have never had the problem.

I’ve worn these for about 40 days. Washed after 30.

@jmj see the post wash pics!

[jmj]

@Oaktavia I will. I want to give them another 20 days for a total of 60 days, maybe just depends how dirty they get. Its drywall mud so it washes out pretty easy.

@jmj Wow! I’ve been afraid to get paint on my pants by wearing them to work. But this may be the picture I need to get me over my fears!

Very cool to see these jeans being used to the most of their ability
