IHXB01xUHR - Ultra Heavy Raw Beatle Busters

[neph93]

@Oaktavia:

Has IH ever made a UHR jacket?

Only ever made into jeans I believe. It was a bugger to make and worse to sew, by all accounts. I expect the reasons why there has never been an XHS jacket apply here too.

No worries in my old pair. They fit for a few years and we’re loved. I’m about 10kg lighter than I was then though. They were up for sale here and received some lowball offers but I still have them. Might try again one day.

Making a jacket out of 25oz is super tough. Sewing the sleeves in particular IIRC. A UHR Type III would be crazy. Can't imagine how tough it'd be first wear!

Yeah it is the eventual thickness of the felled shoulder seams and the joint with the side seams that makes and XHS jacket a no go. The felled seams on UHR seem even thicker, and as you say there is very little give in the UHR compared to the XHS. A theoretical beast of a jacket.

I would frickin' love a type II or III of either XHS or UHR. Maybe one day the denim demons will reveal their secrets…

It would border on ridiculous trying to get it on first time round, even more of a b*stard to photograph too! Rigid is an understatement.

Thanks again dude. So happy they arrived. Lesson learned: don't order from overseas right before the holidays lol.

Trying this canadian tuxedo out for a change. Paired with 101J

The two contrasting indigo shades look very nice indeed. Good DD combo.

Lovely jeans. Dig that you kept the pocket bag repairs from your previous post. That looks really nice.
