ULTRA HEAVY RAW - IH-1955-UHR, IH-666-UHR and IH-634-UHR

Does anybody's 23 oz jeans get less beautiful and unique by bringing out new cuts in this denim? If you just get excitement by wearing stuff that is limited, you're doing sth. wrong in my book. Said it many times before and will continue to do so, this is not a contest who owns the rarest clothes.

But that's the deal!…own things not everyone is wearing.
Collectors Items! Some of us paid more than retail to own these.BTW. I am happy that this is back. So i have the chance to own my third 634s cut in this denim as slighty differences in cut will happen?!
Enjoy ya addiction!

If collecting is part of the appeal, maybe you want a lot number or manufacturing year on the tag. So you can say, those are the first run, second run, a particular year, etc.
Compare Levi's with Samurai in this respect. People collect Levi's and try to figure out when a pair of jeans were made based on a button code or tag capitalization or some other obscure detail. Whereas, Samurai has a Lot stamp that's incremented once per year starting at incorporation date. So, if you want rarity, you can look for Lot 1, 2, etc. I've often thought IH should do something like this for the collecting angle. Although inspired by your 21/23 collecting question, maybe this post goes in product ideas to add a lot number?

•This is the last of this denim, no other jean will be made with it and there will not be a rerun EDIT Until that is, Giles decided to remake the denim in August 2013
Im sorry if I have upset some people by doing this. I genuinely thought (and still do) that it is a great idea, and yes my memory is not perfect, had someone pointed that out to me earlier I could have stopped, but it is too late now
People upset with this are big cry babies. That would be like me being upset that MBB were made because my dc4002 are so rare, it's a different jean. Lot # would be amazing by the way

Lot # in this case:
IH-634SR
IH-634S-RAW
IH-634S-UHR -

That's not the same cause the 666xhs and 634xhs are same Denim and are not extinct.
But who cares will buy the new ones as well!

^This … and in my case. With the statement in mind that this denim will not come again I tried to get some extra pants and it wasn't that easy and cheap. With the actual knowledge I could have wait and save me some time and money.
Anyway ... I'm guessing the new production run will not be the exact same denim as the old one.
So I'm happy with it is. -
Thrilled they are coming back and now can get them in my favorite cut. I had the 634SR unfortunately they never fit either way to small or way to big. Luckily I was able to acquire the RAW in a trade. I love the denim but, can't wait to get these in Devils!

Come the fuck on… I can't believe people are so selfish and petty as to value exclusivity about a pair of pants, get over yourself. How often do you run into people who even know what Iron Heart is? And for people who think it is some kind of bait and switch, I assume y'all have never changed your minds? Sorry, hung over and irritable so this message has sharp edges but c'mon man.

Lot # in this case:
IH-634S-RAW
IH-634SR
IH-634S-UHRClose, but not exactly. Those are model identifiers.
You can't tell the order in which the models were manufactured based on that information. That is the relevant information for collectors. The model IDs may work as a vague proxy for lot numbers, but they aren't the same. -

IH-634S-RAW -> Second run, with the leftover denim from the first run.
IH-634S-UHR -> Third runI am really looking forward to buy the 21/23oz denim in my fav cut

A real collector knows, which pair was first, no? And btw, I literally ran into somebody who's into IH today. Will post it soon;)
Edit: Jo was faster.
