      I finally have the courage and the right place to ask these questions: -

      1. Why hasn't Iron Heart brought out something in stretch denim? Will we ever see such a product?

      2. Reading about the people who wear heavyweight denim in Indonesia and other places, I wonder if such tightly woven, heavyweight denim does any good for the crotch area? Isn't it supposed to be cool and ventilated?

      Thanks a lot. 🙂

        1. Never say never, but it's not really a Haraki type thing I am afraid @Sreeni
        2. I personally prefer mine cool and ventilated, but I guess if you come from a warmer clime than mine, you're more prepared for some discomfort.  I really don't understand how the Asain guys do 23 and 25oz though

          Thanks @Giles

          Perhaps, I should have been a bit more specific. Will wearing the UHR in a hot and humid climate (like that of India) lead to problems down there?

            Hi Sreeni.

            The UHR denim is probably Iron Heart's most dense denim. It doesn't breath well at all. I live in Norway and prefer not to wear it on our warmest summer days (about 20C). I'd recommend the 21oz denim for wear in a hot, humid climate.

              Yes. But there are products that can mitigate the issue.  Sounds funny but works GREAT!

                        I've found some good ol fashioned Clubman talc powder works great too.  Always loved the smell of that stuff.

                              I'd rather have sweaty balls. Which is probably why I live where I do. If I ever complain about the cold on here again, please remind me "at least you don't have sweaty balls".

                                    So what do I do about this? Not really a crotch blowout and darning isn't required. The threads have deteriorated/disappeared. Not quite a blowout but definitely needs attention. Recommendations on a fix and a place to send them to would be appreciated

                                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                                      I'd sew that up myself, it's relatively minor.

                                          I'd do it by hand, even though I've got machines that could handle it.  For smallish repairs like that I usually just settle onto the couch, turn on the tv to something mindless and sew until it's done.  Or until I get tired of working on it, whichever happens first.

                                            Thanks @Giles

                                            Perhaps, I should have been a bit more specific. Will wearing the UHR in a hot and humid climate (like that of India) lead to problems down there?

                                            Hi Sreeni.

                                            The UHR denim is probably Iron Heart's most dense denim. It doesn't breath well at all. I live in Norway and prefer not to wear it on our warmest summer days (about 20C). I'd recommend the 21oz denim for wear in a hot, humid climate.

                                            And to think that anything below 25 C starts becoming cold in my city. Thanks @neph93 It does confirm that the 634-SR is not suited for my weather.

                                            On a related note, I am guessing the 634-DD is not suited for a hot and humid climate, right?
