So I finally got done reading through this thread and the 888-NT one, and I'm left with a question…
How come the UHF, which seems to be a very well-regarded fabric, is being discontinued? Is it because it's too hard on the loom, or too niche to be produced indefinitely... or both? If it's just because it's a loom-buster, then why is the 25oz still being made? Is the UHR more loom-destructive than the purportedly heavier XHS... maybe because the UHF is 'lighter', but also still 'tougher'?
...and that was more than 'a' question, but they're all inexorably linked *^_^
Just curious!

@nurunuru This is from a post Giles made some time ago about UHR . . .
“” It’s time to say goodbye to an old and faithful friend. This denim was a brute to wear when new and a bitch to tame. But if you persevered and got it right, the fades it gave were spectacular.UHR denim engendered love like no other.
But the stuff broke too many looms “”

Thank you! It was the loom busting, then. I guess the 25oz is just easier on them.

The difficulty of weaving denim is not just a function of weight, the 25oz is heavier than the UHR, fact not fiction. The UHR is harder to weave than the 25oz for a number of reasons. The UHR is a magical denim, but quite specialist, we sell loads more 25oz, so that is a factor too.

Curiouser and curiouser. It seems intriguing stuff!
