THIS OR THAT?
-
I back up Mr TrickHell, go 25 oz.

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.
-
I back steelworker on this.
-
18oz is not available in the 634 cut. I wanna add the 19oz
-
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…
I was an xl and the fit was spot on 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

The weight isn't a big factor either way. And I'm inclined to agree with Cutty that the 6oz will be versatile, (easy to wear a vest over amongst other things).
With regards to the wife, I think she's given up. I've got my hands on an indigo 62 to go with my indigo 68 recently. She thinks they're the same shirt [emoji854]
