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

@Appfaff:

deal with the patch dying

A warm wash (40degrees) won't kill your patch, 60 degrees will affect it (shrinking/cracking) but not kill it and if you oil it afterwards it'll look great. 90 degrees will kill it dead  One guy removed his first, then sewed it in after the wash… If you can be bothered 

[Appfaff]

thanks for the info @neph93 - sounds like you have a lot of experience with these results!

@Appfaff just invest in some Obenauf's LP. Give the patch a good coat before the hot wash and you'll minimize the chances of your patch getting fried. Just don't do a boiling-hot wash. I always treat my patches with Obenauf's before a wash and all my patches are in great shape.

They're looking dope but it also looks like they shrank a good amount, didn't they?

Very impressive evo for 5-6 months! They look close to mine and I've been wearing them for double that time (albeit not every day) [emoji1]
Can't wait to see how yours will look like when they reach a year! I love this denim [emoji108]

[Appfaff]

Those are lookin amazing! Nice work!

What a sweet deal on an kickass denim!

And bought. I was struggling with willpower as it was. It took a bit not to pick up the 666SII, too.

Can't imagine either of you will regret it.

Got a pair too - sized up one and looking forward to see the fit.

And pre-soak, mine are a bit tight from mid-thigh to above the knee.  I'm sure I'd be safe to assume they'll shrink, so back they'll go.

Pretty bummed, too.

The UHR denim will only shrink as much as you want it to. It took me 3 soaks/washes to get it to really shrink.  On top of that, the denim is very soft and stretches easily, once again, if you want it to.

Post a pic, and we would be happy to share our thoughts!  Just an FYI, mine didn't shrink even .18 in the thigh or knee although I killed them to shrink 2.5 in waist.
