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

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.

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.

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
