      Yes, The IH-666S.  It was my first attempt at designing a jean and speccing a denim…..

      I'm very proud of the 25oz denim.

      And UHF.  H had given up on making it because the guy who weaves it "has moved to another mill, and I do not know where".  I "suggested" he found out where the guy had moved to and start making it again......

        Thanks for sharing that. And again I’m sorry if I offended the cut you designed and are most proud of… holy shit I can really put my foot in my mouth.

        Maybe so. Maybe not

          for me (IMHO) 25oz is the best denim, ever.

          UHR is very, very close second, but I was late to the party and have only had minimal experience with it…hoping H can track that guy down and bring it back.

            He has.  It was UHF, not UHR and the conversation was about 4 years ago….

                I absolutely love the 25 oz denim. My new pair was nice enough for me to switch from my overalls today. They are flying with me in my suitcase so I hope they are safe. Haha

                That's cool to know. Thanks.

                  The 25oz denim is next on my list as I have yet to experience that fabric.

                    You should receive a very healthy lifelong pension for this reason alone.  UHF's are what drew me to IH in the first place and are exactly what IH are all about (among other things of course).  There is truly nothing else like them on the market and the ones I own consistently get positive remarks and compliments on them from friends and strangers alike.  To me that speaks for itself and is a testament to the quality and uniqueness.

                          I'm inclined to say that the regular XHS is better than the double indigo XHS. You should get a pair asap.

                              yep, the UHF's are my favorite article of clothing by IH. I like the idea of a shirt that has it's roots with American Pioneers, made of Peruvian cotton and manufactured in Japan. And it's insanely warm.

                                It was popularised by American pioneers. It’s roots are from a couple of hundred years earlier and Welsh.

                                            Ah, now I see where the confusion is. I was referring to the Western shirt having its origins with American Pioneers, not flannel. But, it seems it goes even further back to Mexican cattle herders.
