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

(1) I read somewhere in the forum that they stay "crunchy" after numerous wears. Does this mean that the UHR fabric is constructed with short-fiber cotton, like most of Samurai's jeans?

(2) Does the UHR denim have the same double-twisted weft that is used in the 14 and 21 oz denim?

I have had samurai jeans they don’t compare to Iron Heart in any way

@BlueBlood:

I have a couple of questions about the UHRs:

(1) I read somewhere in the forum that they stay "crunchy" after numerous wears. Does this mean that the UHR fabric is constructed with short-fiber cotton, like most of Samurai's jeans?

(2) Does the UHR denim have the same double-twisted weft that is used in the 14 and 21 oz denim?

1. No, the fibres are quite long. I don’t know, but I would guess the crunchiness comes from the initial loomstate nature of the denim, combined with a very tight rugged weave. If you found the XHS too suffocating, these are next level again.

2. Nope.

I had forgotten how great this denim is.

@spitfiredealer dude you’re so savage on denim, couldn’t imagine a better beta tester. They look amazing in such a short space of time

@LewisStonehouse thanks mate. Manual work definitely produces fades. These are really comfy and only been in them a few weeks. The UHR doesn't have the crazy stiffness like some of the other heavier denim at the beginning

@spitfiredealer awesome. How do you think they weigh up against XHS. XHS is my favourite denim, I love the weight and how they feel, I also love 21oz but I prefer the heavier stuff

I hope I manage to get a pair of the UHR. This will be the next denim.

They don't have the softness of a pair of worn in XHS. They kinda have a rougher feel. Not in a bad way though

My question as well! Stoked that they're rougher, etc. Keep beating them up, @spitfiredealer

Meant to say thanks @spitfiredealer - so excited for these
