      @jvicente86:

      Will we get a size chart before the preorders begin?

      Good question.
      Also, what's the weight?

      Did I miss something?

      The famous UHR is 21oz pre soak and 23oz post soak. It's also some of the most beautiful denim ever to be made into jeans. It has a slightly lighter indigo hue than most other IH denim, it's hairy, thick, crunchy and fades quick af.

          Thank you @neph93 as you have answered my questions before.  You're the best.

              @Megatron1505 @Giles how accurate will the size chart be for pre-order? Since this is a brand new cut, and every model in different denims sews up slightly differently, will you do a sample pair of each size in the UHR to take measurements from?

                Probably very inaccurate.  Given the timings and the fact that we have not even done a full size run of the IH-888S (21oz version) yet, all we will be able to do is publish target sizing.  But like before, committing to buying a pair is not a commitment to buy a particular size, we will obviously want you to make your best sizing guess when ordering, but we will make a a parallel run of none DWC jeans and extra patches so we can juggle things around if sizing does turn out to be significantly different from predicted.

                      Ha. You remember that camo vest, and the Kanreki shirt, and the melton wool M65, and all the other shirts, and all those kids I supposedly "have" to feed?  😃

                        I'm interested, but need to see how measurements look first.

                          So if the 634 rise is ideal for me (i have no arse) then the bigger rise on the 888 might be too much rise. shazbot!!

                          Maybe so. Maybe not

                            40 will be the largest tagged waist size? if the waist measurement of the new cut is similar to the previous 21/23 uhr then i should be good.

                            Maybe so. Maybe not

                              The sizing is more dependent on the cut, which is new, so there isn't any real data on what tag size will measure what as yet I am afraid @Matty123

                                Thanks Alex for clarifying. Guess I'm just anxious for the sizing. Hopefully it works!

                                      Ok, let's try this again.

                                      Official contest jeans will be available to order soon, they will be made in the new 888 cut from the UHR 21/23oz Raw Denim. We have named them the "Nama Tako" edition, which is Japanese for "Raw Octopus ", in keeping with the theme of the 888 cut in raw denim.

                                      Size charts will be available prior to order and a sample is inbound. I am personally very excited about these jeans, my favourite cut in the last of my favourite denim, a denim which to me is everything great about this brand.

                                        Also available to pre-order soon will be the official Iron Heart contest tee, bearing the Namo Take logo and coloured in striking black and red.

                                        The tee can be ordered by anyone and will cost $100, or $75 if ordered with the jeans.
