IH-1955-UHR - Ultra Heavy Raw 1955 Cut
-
@FormulaPfaff ….. W.O.W. ??? ??? ???
They are simply wonderful. Thanks for sharing. New project now? One under way?
-
Thanks for the kind words! Not sure about the next project yet. My two NF 32oz pairs still have a lot of life left in them but adding a pristine pair of Iron Heart pants would be a great addition. I've toyed with the idea of the 25oz but still not sure. I can't imagine a more interesting fabric than the UHR.

It depends on your definition of interesting. I'm a fan of both the UHR and the 25oz. Very different denims though. The UHR is certainly fascinating in it's evolution, but the change that the XHS goes through is quite dramatic both in terms of fade patterns and the transition from body armour to cosiness. The lateral fading and subtle slubiness is the icing on the cake.

It's been a while friends. Here's a lazy update on my UHRs. @Appfaff mentioned them in another thread and it seemed like a good idea to show how incredibly this fabric ages. I'll be taking some proper shots ASAP. Until then, here's some quick phone shots of the age and fit.
Easily 1300 days of wear and pretty sizable holes now, although those have been advantageous for the summer temps in Texas. They definitely need a third trip to Indigoproof now that they are trying to turn themselves into jorts via the front pocket bag blowouts.

Now that UHR is coming back, I hope we see them in 1955. These are great shots. My 777UHR aren't nearly as far along. I hope to live that long.

Epic. The cat in the shoebox takes it up an extra level

These remain one of my top 3 IH pairs I have ever seen. Amazing.

Now this would be a cut I could bear the UHR in…..
-
@Matt734 There is no plans of yet to use the UHR on the 1955 cut yet as we have only just re-released the 1955, we will do another fabric at some point due to there popularity from the last release just not sure when and what fabric. As for the UHR material it has been made and allocated for the core cuts this year for their release in July/August time, so there wont be enough for the 1955 this time.
-
I had forgotten how comfortable these 1955 UHRs were. I suggested that I sized down in the waist and @Giles agreed.
-
@FormulaPfaff - those jeans are legendary.
@Jeansman - those look really good. I can't believe I missed the UHR but I wear my 21oz 1955 almost daily.

@nellcoterock Hey, I replied over in the 1955 21oz thread
-
@AdamJ cheers Adam. I presume no ETA on 1955 UHR either mate
-
Pardon me Adam, scratch that. I read earlier here that UHR is not planned for 1955 again.
-
Too bad, as the 1955 has become my favorite cut -- even better (for me) than the 888. I do have a size 34 pair of 1955 UHR from a few years ago that I love but are now too small, so get no wear. Would love to see the 1955S-UHR reintroduced. But happy to have the 1955S in 21 oz.
-
@nellcoterock no problem.
@JohnM you are not alone in that, the rise in popularity of the 1955 is awesome to see!
