        So I didn't realize this, but the UHR is more hardcore than the XHS, apparently? If so, wow. I don't know if my nads can take it ::)

        It is, yes. But it is also a very different denim.What makes it hardcore is the tightness of the weave. At 23oz it is heavy of course but it is the weave that makes it badass. And the mental fading  😛

          Thanks, guys. That's cool — I'm gonna have to think about it on these, because although I love the XHS, I think they might be about as far as I'm willing to go in terms of heaviness / lack of breathability. 21oz is my zone.

          Fuck, the fades make it so tempting though haha. Been wanting to get my first 634s, so this'd probably be a good test for that little bit of extra room. We'll see.

                I've gone up and down the weight ladder with IH and others as low as 14oz and high as 23oz and really love 17-18oz most of all (18oz vintage from Iron Heart and 17oz LHT from Strike Gold being favorites, and I suspect the 17oz natural indigo/organic cotton from IH will wind up in the upper echelon too). But I am likely to wrestle with some UHRs when they drop.

                Think it, be it.

                  TBH I probably will, too. The experiment seems too fun to resist.

                  I definitely think my faves have been 21oz in various flavors, but most of all OD. Also I LOVE my 666 in the older 18oz raw. I wish they were a size bigger but they're still damn comfortable and have a lot of great character.

                    So in many photos of the UK boonies there's not a power line to be seen. Are lines buried, even in the country?

                      And actually, I would say especially (not, even) in the country.  Nothing fucks up a beautiful view that a load of pylons.....

                            Yes, there was (is)?

                            My question is, are the more complicated UHFs softer/downier compared to the less complex patterns like buffalo check? Just an observation from the shirts in my collection.

                              Thank you for confirming that I didn't dream this up.  @neph93 or @Giles , can you help me locate the subject thread or board?

                                    Wasn't sure where I should post this, as I didn't see a forum tech help thread — that said, might've totally overlooked it, so please feel free to point me there if I did!

                                    Has anyone had a hard time with the way the forum threads PMs? Last night/this morning I got messages from three users about a pair of jeans I have posted for sale. They were all basically asking for measurements, so after replying to each, I went and measured, then wrote them all back again to let them know I'd updated the thread.

                                    This is where it got messy — I responded in the wrong order, even accidentally responded to myself once. The problems is that when you click on a message, it doesn't open up that conversation, but rather just all of your conversations.

                                    Needless to say, my convos with these people was a bit of a shitshow, and I'm sure I sounded like a crazy person.

                                    Is there any way to reformat this on my end, like configuring view or something? Or is Tapatalk better? FWIW I pretty much mostly check the forum via my laptop browser.

                                      Tapatalk is definitely not better. Sorry, I haven’t used a browser to look at the forum for a minute, but the interface on Tapatalk is similarly frustrating.

                                        Thanks @sabergirl — I imagine it's just a quirk of the forum software. I'll definitely have to be careful in the future, just wanna make sure if I have a few replies on an item, I give dibs to the person who got in contact first.

                                          Click on "My Messages"
                                          Click on the message you want to respond to
                                          This will open up the latest messages, with the one you want to reply to, at the top
                                          Click "Reply" or "Reply all" at the top of that message

                                          New forum software will likely be implemented in the next 6 months or so (one or two more pressing IT things to sort out first), it will be a lot more intuitive, "current" and mobile friendly…..

                                            Tapatalk can be frustrating with the worst issues being notification lags and problems with tagging.

                                            As for the desktop version, it is old and clunky but it works. Your issue is relying on email notifications and corresponding via them. If you conduct correspondence direct from the message function it is less troublesome.

                                            I have email notifications turned off as I find them useless and intrusive. I rely on Tapatalk notifications and refreshing the forum on permanemtly open tabs in Safari, either on my iMac or telephone.
