@xtcclassic:

Whoa. I never thought I'd see these go away. 

End of an era! Fortunately the vintage 18oz is seriously good stuff.

I agree, I have a pair myself.

@Giles:

We had to decide whether to continue with 2 18oz denims or cut one out.  I decided that sticking with one was a more sensible approach….

Makes sense. Does this mean that this denim is going away completely then? Not just in this cut?

[Giles]

It's the denim that we are retiring…...

That's sad.One of the most beautiful denims out there.Would it be a good idea to run 888?Does it mean after retiring 21/23 and 18oz IH goes fully sanforized ?

[Giles]

No I'll always keep a few unsanf in the range…

[Oleg]

@Giles That's great.Thx

Damn, now this makes two discontinued denims I'll need to pick up that I don't have (18 and 21/23)

[Giles]

Bleeding amateur…...

[manufc10]

Seriously…who even let me in here anyways???

The UHR (21/23 oz) and the raw endangered 18 oz are amongst the most beautiful denims I've encountered. Jus' sayin'…

If you had to pick one between the two?

[Dion]

A difficult decision, probably the UHR but I slightly prefer heavier denim. Go for the one with the least numbers in stock… then for the other one 8).

Smart man.  Looks like I have time to sort this one out.  There are still large quantities of the 555 18oz and 888 21/23oz left in my size.  More of the 555 though so I'll cop the 888 21/23 first.

I always intended to pick up a pair of these and always assumed I had plenty of time considering this is Giles's favorite denim and cut. Totally out of the question to buy a pair in the near future, so I might have to make my peace with these being one of the ones that got away. 

On a brighter note, I'm ecstatic that the weather has cooled off enough to take my 666-XHS out of hibernation (along with my SEXIHXLSXA13's).

I haven't had a chance to see this fabric in person, is it noticeably slubbier than the new UHR or 18oz vintage? Not expecting PBJ-level slub, I just don't want to have two 18oz pairs that are too similar.

[Giles]

It is very different from the 18oz Vintage…..

Decided to upload a larger file into this thread as well. Since the file is larger one can see the nice honey combs (outside of my living room), even when the gaiters a bit high. If one is interested, right click and open a new window. Cheers!
