          Surely the right answer is both? 😉

          I personally vote for the UHRs. Especially as Haraki has broken another loom, and they're possibly going to be discontinued.

          @Giles's quote is great. But my aberrant brain's wiring means choosing between several similar options is uniquely difficult.

            As an owner of both I vote for the UHR's, my personal favourite IH denim.

              25oz!!! They dark as feck, the UHR is too purple for you.

                Can't answer the question until I know what you are looking for in denim & how tightly you size& how often you wash/soak & all that jazz @Akuma no uta

                21/23 has a bit more character where the denim seems a little hairy. they are the most brutal of the IH denims I've tried as far as the cardboard/tin man/c-3po factor.  If you into Iron Heart history the denim was original done for the 5th year anniversary & at the time was kind of a big deal. This denim was my 1st pair of Iron Hearts in a size 38 so many moons ago so you can see where I'm leaning

                25oz denim breaks in pretty quickly & I hear people say they become like sweatpants if sized correctly.  I have seen some amazing pairs worn over a long period of time which required no repairs (again might be sizing/body type) so if you want a pair of heavy jeans which break in quickly these might be more up your alley.  UHRs are a bit more of an investment of time with the soaking & all that . . . second thought, with your washing issues 25oz might be more up your alley

                nice thread idea

                  Unsanforized 18oz. Do it. 😉

                  Though UHR- I like them too.

                  Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                  Well, I have others.

                    Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                          25oz is amazing, from the brutality at the start to the heavy softness once broken in. Every time I put mine on it's a pleasure.

                            I love the 25 oz and I have no experience with the UHR, but the potential extinction of such a killer denim as the UHR might push me in that direction if I was in your position. You can always get the 25 oz.

                                I'm going to try and breath life into this thread as it is a good idea and I have an appropriate question to pose.

                                I want (need) some light blue chambray work shirt action. Should I go classic (IHSH-21ind) or new fangled (IHSH-133)?

                                Hit me.

                                  I have the 13 and the 133.

                                  The 133 is beautiful. The lighter fabric is so much more versatile imo

                                    ^ Cheers for that. Did you XL or XXL in that? I notice G takes XL and I usually size up one from him, but the XL measurements look good for me…

                                          Plus you can always get the 21 separately in the future. The fabrics of the 13 (which, as I understand it, is what the 21 is made from) and 133 are so different in terms of weight and texture that you could easily justify having both to the Mrs [emoji851]

                                          The 133 is a must have imo

                                            If weight is irrelevant I'd totally go with the 133! I'm a fan of the blue buttons.
