            @FormulaPfaff  - epic pair! This gives me (the rest of us) a goal/idea of what my 888-NT might look like in two years.

            Also - what size are those? I bought a NWT size 34 pair from sales section here, but they looked like MC Hammer carrot pants on me, and I sold them. The leg profile of yours from the top view look great - not too wide in the thighs or too tapered.

              @mpukas I apologize for the late response. I must have missed the notification. Mine are size 32. The UHR denim stretches past presoak size. If i didn't have a gut I could have gone down 1 or 2 more sizes as the high rise sits at natural waist vs hips like the other cuts.

              Make it heavier.

                Freshly repaired by Indigoproof and I promptly took them to Japan and Singapore for some denim adventures. Not too many Japan photos yet (hopefully my friends took some shots) but here's a few singapore shots.


                Singapore humidity nearly killed me. Flip flops saved me.

                    I don't think I have ever added any shots of my 1955 UHR's. So here are a few from today.

                      Great pairs of jeans in this thread.

                      Also great fit on the jacket.

                        I can confidently say that these are past 1000 days of wear, which was my goal. Here is my photo update.

                        Make it heavier.

                          The Iron Heart 1000 day threshold is a glorious achievement. Every pair should be so lucky. These are wonderful!

                                Thanks for the kind words! Not sure about the next project yet. My two NF 32oz pairs still have a lot of life left in them but adding a pristine pair of Iron Heart pants would be a great addition. I've toyed with the idea of the 25oz but still not sure. I can't imagine a more interesting fabric than the UHR.

                                  It depends on your definition of interesting. I'm a fan of both the UHR and the 25oz. Very different denims though. The UHR is certainly fascinating in it's evolution, but the change that the XHS goes through is quite dramatic both in terms of fade patterns and the transition from body armour to cosiness. The lateral fading and subtle slubiness is the icing on the cake.

                                    It's been a while friends. Here's a lazy update on my UHRs. @Appfaff mentioned them in another thread and it seemed like a good idea to show how incredibly this fabric ages. I'll be taking some proper shots ASAP. Until then, here's some quick phone shots of the age and fit.

                                    Easily 1300 days of wear and pretty sizable holes now, although those have been advantageous for the summer temps in Texas. They definitely need a third trip to Indigoproof now that they are trying to turn themselves into jorts via the front pocket bag blowouts.

                                    Make it heavier.

                                      Now that UHR is coming back, I hope we see them in 1955.  These are great shots.  My 777UHR aren't nearly as far along.  I hope to live that long.

                                          These remain one of my top 3 IH pairs I have ever seen.  Amazing.
