IH-666S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans
-
I’m curious how it will end up.. it’s been a while since i had a XHS. Started the addiction again with a SLB pair and now a UHR, so i’ts takes a little getting used to it. Hard to button, walking around like a robot for the first days haha, all part of the process

It’s a trip for sure. Ends up very different to XHS despite the comparable weight and stiffness at the start. The SLB is just another dimension of denim by comparison.

How did your first UHR turned out?

Like this… Still in use, but they have only ever been in sporadic rotation (they’re basically my «fat jeans»). My second pair were worn more and harder but were sent back to Gosport a few years ago. IHUK may still have them, I’m not sure.
-
Awesome! Thanks for the pictures! How long did you wear them?
-
Having worn the UHR for a few days now, I have the feeling that the UHR fabric is a lot thinner than my XHS or the XHSiB. Oh yeah, the breath ability is also way below the XHS iterations.
-
Nice, still in rotation after 8 years.. they deliver good service haha. So do you, thanks for your fine and fast responses
-
Any idea when size 35 will be back in? I’m assuming not for a while because all other sizes are still in stock.
-
@deanclean it looks like James Dant has 35s.

Thanks [mention]Matt [/mention] I took a look at that site but I am in Canada and they do not accept returns for international shipments. Maybe I’ll just wait for IH to restock. Thanks for finding for me though!

Switching from my 777 uhr’s to the 666’s. Really wish I went with the 666’s from the get go, I love the fit so much more. I’ll be posting tons of updates on my pair here in the coming months (and years)! Here is my month 0 666 pair alongside my 6 month 777 pair. Cheers, all.
-
@Matt Yeah, I think I need a certain amount of post history to be able to post them here, which unfortunately I do not yet have so it’ll have to wait a bit. But I do have them for sale elsewhere.
-
@kelton cool progress! Just curious.. are you gonna soak/wash this one? For just another experience
-
@Heavy_blue Ha yes, eventually. But will be attempting to keep them dry like my 777s for quite some time.
-
It’s been awhile since I checked in on the forum, but thought I’d share some 666-UHR pics. Bought them in 2015 and have had them in rotation with a million other pairs, but these do get a lot of wear. Probably 10-12 soaks in their life.
