Any update on if / when these will be available, Giles?
As some of you will know, we have been having an ongoing issue with buttonholes on our 12oz denim work shirts. So we have decided to replace the buttonholed versions with snappered versions. To allay any fears, we have had zero defects in the last batch of buttoned 12oz denim work shirts, but we have to insert a piece of fabric inside the shirt placket to make the buttonholes structurally sound, and we don't like doing that.
So here we go:

Apologies if missed - ETA on olive chinos?
-
Cool, thanks for answering.

Will UHR and SII be released this fall?
-
Ooooh, look at what is ready to start sampling…..
Yep, it is the UHR (AKA 21/23).
H says it looks almost identical to the previous weave (we are using the same tiny factory, and the same loom as before), so we are pretty confident it will look and behave the same as the last iteration. But we will sample all 5 core cuts, just to be doubly sure…
-
And news on the new raw (with the new super-secret technique Haraki has developed)….
He's unhappy with the look and feel of what he has woven to date.
So we are starting again with the UHR as the base from which to work. We will use a beige weft and aim for a finished weight of, wait for it, 21oz...
-
Giles, there's two iterations of UHR? Or Haraki-san is unhappy with that version of the fabric from your picture there?! I can't wait to see the stuff you guys have planned for the anniversary.
-
No. There is one iteration of UHR. It is this:
We have woven enough for 500 pairs jeans. I just told H to triple it.
No other raw denim else exists at the moment. But Haraki has been working on a new concept of raw denim for a couple of years now. He is unhappy with everything that has come off the loom. So he is going to take the principles of UHR and apply the concepts he has developed for the new raw and come up with something that after washing/shrinkage will be about 21oz.
It will not be UHR and it will not replace it.
-
Oh okay. I think I know what you mean. Thanks
-
Might be the light of the photo, but that UHR looks like it starts out a brighter blue than the other denims? Looks great
-
It does, but not as much as the photo suggests….
