UHR Denim

[neph93]

You guys and loom-breaking. The looms are going to form a union to stop Iron Heart's abuse.

Seriously though, while this must be a pain in the ring it's quite exciting as well… Potential for new version of UHR, different qualities etc. Or is it vital that the new mill recreate the old UHR precisely?

It's vital to Haraki that it is the same.  Me?  I don't give a toss.  If it's interesting, we have new denim to play with….

Another new denim? Damn…

As far as my limited understanding of weaving goes that will be a tall order, no?

Well, the warp and the weft will be the same as we'll supply the same yarns.  So the basic ingredients are the same.  But yes, it'll be a miracle if the end result is identical….

What I thought. I guess that means there is a good chance that all UHR jeans are about to become effectively "Endangered", unless there rolls of the old stuff sitting around in Japan.

There are no old rolls lying around. I asked…..

My addict's brain is thinking two things:

1. Shit, must get some of the old gear before it disappears.

2.  Awesome, new gear!

^Agreed.  I do not anticipate needing new jeans for quite some time.  But the potential for a denim I would very much like to have to become extinct or never be the same means I may have to add to the collection much sooner than planned.

@Giles:

They will give us an answer if they can make or not in early December.
If they cannot make it, 21/23oz won't be made in the future.

How did that turn out?

[Giles]

No answer yet, for the moment, I'm assuming bad news….

Not good, the UHR denim is my favourite

bummer…guess I should hunt a pair down in my size to be safe.

For anybody on the fence: go for it! This denim is simply phenomenal!

[Mnbiker]

Did that other mill come through for you guys?

[Giles]

Maybe, we're testing.  Looks hopeful….
