IH-777-UHR - Indigo UHR 21/23oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered
-
I'm playing with my 4 months old son on the ground, riding bike to work…
^ This is a great fading technique [emoji1]
Yours and @don_pipone pairs are a bit better than mine but they’re all just a work in progress.
The UHR is splendid stuff and it is a shame it’s extinct. I’ll be interested to see if Haraki-san ever revisits loomstate, fast fading, heavy denim in the future.
Maybe in some 555..

I must suck at wearing jeans. Mine have about 4 months of solid IDGAF wear on them and the fades aren't progressing nearly as quickly as those previously posted. I actually just replaced a fuel pump driver module on my truck while wearing mine today….rolling around on the ground...under my truck...yet I still won't get the fast fades.
With that being said though they do fade faster for me than all my other pairs do.

Just wear the shit out of them, soak now and then that will run the colour out

That's what I do….I've never been able to get fades fast for some reason.

85 days of wear currently. The car key fade is my favorite on those.
Weather is getting warmer and warmer these days. I‘m afraid I won’t be able to wear them any longer this season soon.

Atsa nice pair you got there @don_pipone !
-
Thanks @Filthy
I am still amazed how fast this denim fades. -
Gave my pair a soak/„wash“ after 102 days of wear. Love the result as the fades popped out a lil more.
-
The key hanger fade and the front pocket-bag fades are awesome!

Hi All,
These 777-UHR’s are my first pair of Raw’s. They have about 4-5 months of occasional wear but have seen a lot more use lately and have become my favorite pair (by a lot). Here’s a pic after their first wash
-
Little update on my pair, 4th soak i think - lovely denim!

no way i'm believing Iron Heart is disco'ing the UHR. for starters, its just way too damn amazing. two - how you gonna be a serious about denim & write off Loom Sate?
kidding aside, UHR was my first pair of Iron Hearts so to me it was normal. although im new, the sage guidance about sanforization/washing taking the life out of your denim holds a certain amount of weight to me now. this doesn't mean Im prejudice as i find all sorts of jeans appealing. more so curious if others also find loom state to be where they want to be.777-UHR 4 months of extreme weekend warrior wear. i've watched several movies in this pair, mowed the lawn a few times & even washed our cars ???

Great evo @hoppy_IPA !
You must have spent a lot of time on your knees? -

When Haraki-san started Iron Heart, loom state was entirely unimportant to him. In fact that jeans were selvedge also was irrelevant. He was (and still is) all about the weave and fabric design, construction, and cut. The vast majority of IH denim has been sanforised and still is today. H prefers the predictability and uniformity.
Personally I think it is good for Iron Heart to have a loomstate/truly raw denim. Now that the OG 18oz is discontinued and the UHR is done it will be interesting to see if H will design a new loomstate fabric. It has been mentioned as a possibility. But if it doesn’t happen then that is fine too. The XHS is absolute genius denim and certainly demanding enough for the specialist/connoissuer. The 21oz flagship denim is a masterful piece of fabric design and I hope never to be without a pair.
I have two pairs of UHR and it is great stuff. I love them both and I’m happy to have them, but it’s also a pain in the ass. I’m fine with it being done and looking forward to the next step.
