IH-888S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans

@Oaktavia great stuff. Is this the pair you picked up in Gosport?

[Oaktavia]

@Tago-Mago yeah man! Went all the way to England for these.

[Oaktavia]

Up in a backyard tree.

@Oaktavia still unwashed like your 25oz IB?
It's great to see them fade side by side and note the subtle differences.

Yeah man, both have only had an initial hot soak and wash to remove all shrink before wearing. Neither have had a wash since, at 93 wears each today. At 100 wears each, I will take side by side (literally) photos to really see how each are looking comparatively.

[Oaktavia]

Sand in my cuffs.

101 wears 1 hand wash. Hard to photo this denim. It looks more washed out in the last two photos and more contrast is evident to the naked eye.

@Oaktavia beautiful…I think this may be the fade “sweet spot” for me. Thanks for sharing pics with us

[Oaktavia]

@SKT definitely seems that way

@Oaktavia hell yea these are coming along damn good too. That whisker pattern on the lap is crazy. You going to keep the wear counts consistent with the ib? It’s cool to see how they’re comparing- did you do a side by side?

@Oaktavia hell yea

Yeah the whiskers are the craziest on this pair. The UHR is so crunchy when new, it stays so stiff at its creases to create those fades. They are totally 3D when I am sitting and looking at my lap. Yep I am doing a 1:1 even rotation every other day. Going for another 100 each in 200 more days. Good idea I will do a side by side today.

[Oaktavia]

Still wearing UHR every other day.

@Oaktavia fades and creases looking so crispy!

[ZackB]

@Oaktavia perfect fit my man. Everything is looking on point

[Oaktavia]

Thanks gents, I'll keep on wearing them!

112 days
1 handwash

[Tago Mago]

@ShopatIronHeart any idea when this will return?

[Freeman]

@Tago-Mago Unfortunately we don't have a date for the UHR restock yet.

[Tago Mago]

@Freeman thanks mate. Makes my life (and the burden on my wallet) easier

So, here is my story which I know may raise a few eyebrows.

Bought my jeans in February. Soaked them. Washed them. Hated them.

Re-washed them at 90deg. Tumble dried them. Loved them.

However, the process completely destroyed the leather patch. It was, literally, like wood and eventually snapped in half so I cut it off.
