      @Giles any clue as to why there wasn't a huge demand for this denim considering it's such a great fabric?

        When we originally released it, it sold very well.  Then when we relaunched it, demand was a lot slower.

        My view is that it is really a rather specialist denim, you need to work hard to get the best out of it and you can screw the denim up quite badly if you don't do the right things in the early days.  It's also pretty pricey.

          Since this is my first shot at the UHR, how do you avoid screwing them up quite badly?  Any tips and tricks for breaking them in?

            Thirded on the genius of the UHR. I’m resisting the temptation to buy the 888-UHR as I have too much indigo denim and recently copped the 888S, but it may be hard. My UHR BB’s are too big for me but I wear them regularly because the denim is so bloody sexy.

              I expect you’ll get UHR washing instructions in the package and you can find them on the main site too. Long story short, you need to avoid creases when soaking and/or washing as they’ll leave weird lines and marbling.

                    Isn't the UHR the warmest denim IH has made?  That's always one of my major considerations when buying.

                      I believe so… it's certainly the warmest one I own. Are you going to whine about how hot it is in Texas now? I'd just move to Canada if I was you...

                            Nah, it's basically like I'm living in Canada already.  It's only 25°C today.  Folks are breaking out the parkas.

                              Oops. I didn’t do that at all with mine. I did a hot soak in the tub (wearing them) and never looked back. I think the last run of the 666’s didn’t move very well because of the sizing. They’re on the big size for a 666… if I remember correctly.

                                I was born and raised in West Virginia and I will never forget my first Canadian Winter day when I moved to Ottawa Ontario.  Bright, beautiful, and snow everywhere (waist high).  It was also -35c that day.  Needless to say I didn’t have any true cold weather gear, but promptly bought some.

                                  why the need for a run through the washing machine after the initial soak on these?

                                    Get some decent agitation into the wash….

                                      The agitation makes a difference without a doubt. My UHR's shrunk not a bit from a VERY hot soak but a 60C wash helped. When they're a little more worn in I'm going to kick the shit out of them with a full spin cycle to see if there's any shrinkage left…

                                          To get this thread back on topic here's another suggestion for IH camo pants, specifically 816 whipcord camo pants.  Yeah….whipcord camo would be dope.

                                            I like that idea @manufc10 ….I think cargo pockets on 816 camo would be cool too. More of a modern fit to the cargo pants.

                                            You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.
