Aha, awesome to see them from other peoples pictures. I just toss them on and go about my day. If it helps to justify how worn in they have become, I work full time as an auto mechanic and enjoy all things outdoors. Most of it is from late nights at the shop. I think I'm going to finally get another pair of Iron Hearts, we'll see.

As far as the whole 80' bleach look, I've noticed that myself, but I like my stuff worn in at times, with patina, and getting my money's worth out of whatever I get, aha.

Yeah, this guy actually works in his jeans and that's what happens…

^Cool, love those brass buttons! How different is this denim from the UHR?

[Seth]

It's the earlier run of the 21/23 loomstate. It's darker.
I like "reprint editions". It's like an anniversary of an anniversary.

[Giles]

It's not an earlier run of the denim.  It is the same denim as the UHR….The only reason that Haraki has re-run the IH-634SR is that I asked him to make the 21/23oz again.  I decided to call it UHR as I felt it was a nicer moniker than 21/23.

Thank you both!

But wasn't the cut of the SR different or do they Label the 634 UHR simply SR in Japan?

[Giles]

Yes the IH-634SR is different, but I don't think anyone said otherwise did they?

[Max Power]

Ok, so the SR sold in Japan right now has the original SR cut, but the UHR (=not deadstock 21/23 oz) denim. Right?

[Giles]

None of the current 21/23 (UHR) jeans uses deadstock denim.  They all use the denim I had made for the IH-1955-UHR, IH-634-UHR and the IH-666-UHR.  Haraki is also using the same denim for the IH-634SR (which is a different cut from the IH-634-UHR) and I am using the remainder of it on the IH-DWC and IHxB01-UHR

**Edited to include IH-1955-UHR which I omitted originally….

[Jeansman]

Which is also the same denim as the 1955 UHRs….. or not? I thought my 1955 UHRs were actually rather courser than my 666UHRs, but assumed it was my imagination!

[Giles]

Yes, you are correct.  Same denim, I had forgotten to include them in my post.  I have edited it for completeness….

Thank you guys
and by 'from' i mean 'since' haha, wrong use of word

Lovely pair. Good jobb on them.

[Giles]

For the avoidance of doubt,  this is effectively the same denim as the UHR.  Admittedly, the UHR is from another batch and thus there maybe some slight batch differences, but it is the same yarn, same dyeing process and same weave.
