If you want a more fitted top block then a 666 could be more your kind of thing, do know that the UHR run a little larger due the shrink to fit way of making this kind of denim. In the end it’s on you to decide if you want to soak, wash and keep them, do know as well that the UHR fabric is very stiff and rough and takes some time to settle down and molding to your body shape. At least that are mine observations of the UHR.

I picked these up upon release and finally got them soaked and ready for wear.

Good fit! Looks good on you! Rock them

Little update on my pair. About 5 months worth of wear here. Been wearing them extra hard lately-taking them hiking and mountain biking (still a bit of mud on them in these pics lol). Falling in love with them more and more every day!
-
Those are coming along nicely @kelton ! Beautiful. Do other mountain bikers give you crap for wearing them? I'm a mountain biker as well. My friends are to biking what I am to raw denim, as in they ride kitted out to the max, they would trash-talk me hard if I showed up to the trials in jeans lol.

Thanks @Salted Racer ! I definitely got a lot of weird looks while on the trail and a bunch of “wtf are you wearing”s from my friends lol. But all good, they don’t know what we know!
-
@kelton Rock on man! That's right they don't 'get it' like we do : )
-
@kelton cool fades! I’m still amazed by how crispy this denim stays
-
@Jcaz6996 @Heavy_blue Thanks guys! Fade on

Hi, sorry about the pic focus. Am I kidding myself with this size? These are 30, and my 32s feel way too big now that I've worn them in. Room in the waist and rise is good but the thighs are snug. Maybe cold soak? Anyone going dry with these?
-
Wouldn’t recommend dry UHR, they’ll get trashed pretty quick. I think you’re going to need a size up to be able to soak all the shrinkage out and not be super uncomfortable in the thigh.
That said, after a soak and wash, the areas that are under soak will stretch
Back to your presoak measurements. They look like they would be too tight to enjoy, from where I sit.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@sabergirl thank your for the feedback. I'm afraid you're right. The top block fits just how I want it though. I'm afraid if I go up a size they'll fall too low because 2 sizes up is diaper butt city.

I’ve tried both. The 666 isn’t tapered enough for me and the 555, to get them tight enough in top block is even tighter on my thighs without enough taper. I really love the rise of the 777. Thank you for the advice!
