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

@LewisStonehouse:

@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

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

UHR is definitely crispier, more coarse then XHS. Much stiffer too. The indigo is a lighter shade and the weave is tighter. Fades super quickly with high contrast and mad creasing patterns.

I can't wait to finally have a pair. Sounds like just what's missing from my IH line up

They sound feckin epic

Guess at this point I just need to decide which fit to go with. Been thinking 634, but 888 is a maybe. Any idea yet which cut y'all are rolling out first? One at a time, or in groups?

I'm thinking 777 or 888 for me…

@popvulture It will most likely be first come, first up! We'll have no idea for a while yet though as they've just gone into production.

@Oaktavia I had the 777 on the last batch, deffo 555 this time round!

I was also considering this…I have 555 in my 21oz and love 'em.

ETA is still far off, correct? As in after S/S 22? Just want to get my ducks in a row.

No dates on the UHR production schedule, but I'd guess well after SS…..

[Oaktavia]

Cool, cool. No rush from me…still have plenty of jeans to wear and not enough time for them.

[weftyarn]

I’m hyped. I think the UHR may be my next project pair.

666 for me, if the measurements work out. The nice thing about UHR is that the dims often come up a little big, and the shrinkage gives one room to play around.

UHR is back *for a limited time only

Per @Simon 's pre and post measurements from earlier in the thread though, it looks like these don't have too much in the way of shrink, no? I feel like this is a good thing, but it might affect your wiggle room.

Any plans for a UHR jacket or anything else besides jeans? Someone is asking me on IG…

[Giles]

No, nothing else planned,  Jackets are effectively impossible to construct out of UHR for instance…..
