IH-666-UHR - Ultra Heavy - Devil's Fit (Slim Cut)
-
Thanks MM! @madmonday
Will do, as long as I don't gain anymore more weight, Richard @twin
I've lost 5lbs recently and they fit comfortably again [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4] -
@zatenm Wow those are beautiful! Make me miss my UHR that I shrank myself out of! Can't wait to see those as you wear them more!
@Appfaff Looking sharp man! I think one of the hardest/most important things about nailing fits/sizes with Iron Heart…especially the heavier weight stuff, is having the mix of foresight/faith/patience to realize that you'll get what you want by virtue of just rolling with something that doesn't look quite right when it's brand new. For the last year+ of selling jeans at Self Edge, I employed an unorthodox, but effective, and more importantly to me, honest, technique anytime anybody was about to try on straight leg jeans (even 666 is "straight leg" by virtue of not having a radical taper): I'd tell them before they went in the fitting room that they likely wouldn't like how the jeans looked below the knee, but that with the combination of hemming to remove length/cuff bulk, cuffing (using a double cuff to pull the fabric in), and the natural softening of the fabric and attendant normalized relationship with gravity would give them a great look that they liked over time. If they seemed unsure, I followed up with, "I've never liked how anything I've bought looked when it was new...my ability to buy things I like rests entirely on my ability to imagine the effects of time...now you have to trust me" I don't know if people actually trusted me, or if they were just afraid enough of how crazy I sounded that they usually ended up buying the jeans, but I do know most of them ended up liking the jeans!

^ when I have less whisky in me I'll write a long, sensible comment to this. In the meantime I'm torn between agreeing with your observations 100% and calling you out for being an enabling mofo of a salesbastard. But fuck me if I don't love reading your posts.

I'm glad you enjoy reading my posts, I've always considered whiskey my most capable collaborator! I fear your accusations of being an enabling salesbastard are right, although these days I'm peddling minimalism and that the true path to denim Nirvana is wearing one pair of pants exclusively until it requires repair! While that is a somewhat cheeky allusion to my own interest in increasing the market for denim repair, I will say that on a purely personal level, I'd be really stoked if I could persuade a few more guys who have 4+ pairs of $300+ pairs of jeans not being worn in their closet, but have never been able to justify buying the $1200-$2000 leather jacket they've always wanted to hold one 1 thing, and take the plunge on another, I'd be happy with that bit of salesbastardry! If the results are more heavily worn UHRs paired with beautifully evolving leather jackets, all the better!

@tmadd how did you know I keep leaving my laptop open with leather jackets pulled up just to make a hint to my wife hahaha

No crazy Evo here, but I can tell I will like where they are headed. Hate to hang these up when the weather finally hits hot levels, so figured I'd throw up some pics now before I wash them and out then away for the spring/summer.

Beautiful evo and color ! !!!
It seems that you soak them more than usual, maybe for avoid combs rips ? -
Sadly? It looks so freaking cool when they rip IMO! Keep rocking and ruining them.

Gave my UHR another wash due to living the "baby life" - love how these keep getting better no matter how often you wash. I'm a slow fader, but the little bits of Evo make it cool to me.
Pre-wash pics, as they will
Take until April 22nd to finish their drip dry haha
I'll throw some post dry pics of there is any crazy change.. Which I doubt ha

UHR must stand for "ultra heavy roping"
