Ultra Heavy Raw (UHR), AKA 21/23oz Denim

[Kasi]

Fuck it…

When you want something buy it.

@Mizmazzle:

So now I am having total FOMO.  Bought a pair of XHS (which I am loving already!!!) but y’all keep preaching the specialness of this UHR fabric.

I'm in a similar position here, but I'm currently breaking in a pair of XHSib and have an unworn pair of XHS hanging in my closet that I'm going to break in this fall. Regardless, I'd still like another pair of heavyweight IHs (crazy, I know :D), but the UHR's extreme lack of breathability might be an issue for me. I might opt for a pair of 19Ls instead.

@Daniel San @popvulture Here are some measurements from a pair of 777-UHR I had.  Sold them bc they were too big so Im afraid the info won't be too useful for stretch.  You can get get an idea how much shrink is possible with hot washes/machine drying.

That is the old UHR

this is a new fabric make from new.

Will have new figures on the numbers

[popvulture]

Still helpful!

Thank you @hoppy_IPA

How do you know  ?

That is the point @Kasi was making…..

[the246guy]

Can we expect any deliveries of the UHR's this month?

[Giles]

Possibly….

Well, he was trying to help so I figured I'd be appreciative vs just shutting it down ‍️

Yeah, you're right, sorry.

Until we test the new batch, we don't really know how it will behave…..

But here is shrink test data from one of the sample pairs:

and didn't you say something about a raw lefty @Giles

[Giles]

I may have done, but H keeps on mentioning new stuff that either does not happen or takes ages to materialise.  Basically, we are overwhelming the workshops and mills and some stuff has to be killed, or it takes a long time to surface…

[steelworker]

::) I still have to get the Prontos to IH for hemming and I'm worried about lefty

[spitfiredealer]

Kinda clean

[Kasi]

More like funky, rocker clean

I don’t really have what you’d call “permission” to get these, but know know…

@Alex:

Well that didn't work!

Potentially the first time I’ll buy a pair to stack for the future [emoji3526]

Or two… (and try to keep the weight)
