IH-888-UHR - Indigo UHR 21/23oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut

[neph93]

@dreigh:

I will say, after a wash the size 31 UHR waist seems just about as snug as the size 30 21oz waist…but the top block of the UHR still seems roomier. I do want to make them work.

There are variations between iterations caused by a number of things. The 888-UHR were the very first iteration of the 888 and arguably closer to the original fit concept. In addition, UHR iterations do tend to be looser in the top block and wider in the thigh than other iterations.

I got my pair early and they are as you describe. Tighter in the waist, roomier in the top block. My subsequent 888’s have been downsized.

@neph93 Ahhh, that is some great insight! Thank you for the education!

After ever so slowly wearing these, I'm finally at a point where they are well fitting again. Partially because I washed them too hot and also added weight…its on again....but wearing these reminds me if just how GOOD the UHR denim is. Is it completely dead, never ever able to come back?

[neph93]

I would love to see it come back again. Been wearing mine a lot this winter and they’ve now gone past my UHR beetle busters in terms of wear. The denim just gets better and better.

I can’t quite remember the exact reasons for the denim going extinct. But it isn’t like you can pop down to your local fabric manufacturer and say «make this». If the factory that made UHR is closed or that specific loom doesn’t work anymore then you just can’t make it the same way. It wouldn’t be UHR.

I think that Haraki was not keen on making it any longer and I thought it had run its course, so I did not disagree….

Washing some jeans given the good drying weather. IH-888-UHR with somewhere around 150 days of wear. Three or four washes. Not really considered work jeans yet and I forgot I was wearing them when I changed tires on the car and have oil smears everywhere. Still not really considered work jeans [emoji1]

I was digging out cars from the epic snow that fell last night (and is still falling)… When I came in I noticed how nice the back side of my UHR’s were looking.

IMO, you can't beat the wear , fade, evo on UHR. They look great.

Agreed, I was thinking the same. Pretty happy about that denim coming back.

There are four denims coming this year that are either re-runs of earlier denims or totally new denims. The UHR and selvedge 21oz superblack are the former, a 17oz raw denim and 16oz slub denim are the latter. Deets (such as they are) in the "Samples" thread.

on it. thanks Sir!

I did some yard work in them. So I figured they could use a wash.

I can't remember how much wear time I have on these. Like under a year. Zero washes.

[Zein1505]

I really like the 888 fit and this is the most used jeans all day long ! I think it would be great to make the UHR with more slub yarn to create unique fabrics @Giles

[Giles]

Great looking jeans.

H is not a slubby fan, we persuaded him to makes the latest slubby, that'll have to do for the time being….

And we are re-releasing the UHR......

[tatmantall]

When is UHR releasing again, and all cuts?

[AdamJ]

@tatmantall At some point they all will be here. I'd be surprised if this year, so likely next. See this post and thread for more info

[atm23]

@AdamJ that is great news. Will the measurements pretty much be the same as the original release? The original UHR has one of the best fits for me.

We will not change, the pattern, but mysterious things happen, so they may not end up exactly the same dimensions.
