    @Dstauffer:

    633 UHR (@neph93, I wear these in the summer…you Norwegians need to toughen up a bit)

    Haha! I'm an endomorph with the blood of African princes in my veins. I sweat like it too, in buckets, whatever I'm wearing, but in UHR like a pregnant walrus on summer vacay. To paraphrase Craig Finn, I like the warm feeling but I'm tired of all the dehydration.

        @Sreeni:

        Thanks @Alex @manufc10 & @neph93 for your inputs. Until the 18 oz or 14 oz comes in 888 or 1955 cuts, I will have to go with the 1955s or 888s as the thighs aren't big enough for me at tag size 30.

        Two things -
        a) Iron Heart jeans last a long time.
        b) In my opinion, you also need to wear a pair of jeans for around a year to break it in, bring out the fades, and give it the love it needs.

        Given these points, how does one justify buying any more than two pair of jeans, especially when last year's jeans are going strong?

        Wait a minute…I know what this is...I've heard of this before...this is called logic right???  😉

        But seriously you are correct if we are thinking logically here but like the others have stated, this is more of a hobby for most of us in here and we all have our reasons for justifying 30 pairs of jeans in our closet.  It was stated before by one of the guys already but I'll echo it because it's so true...this is a niche market IMO and you can always resell items that don't end up working out.  I feel like I have sold as many items as I have bought over the years and you might be surprised the money that some of your used gear can fetch.

        you're a better man than me if you can limit yourself to couple pairs.  I just lost that willpower when I was sucked down this selvedge rabbit hole.

          No, not to my knowledge.

            This. I have a mate who will àlways buy the stuff that doesn't work for me, so I've been buying more… Still a very lean selection in the closet though... '16-'17 might've been the best year for me... Those brown and green 816 whip-its man... Grey'll be a no-brainer if they're released...

                It's up to the individual, How do I justify having about 100 fishing rods?  It's completely unjustifiable, but fishing is my passion…How does anyone need more than 1 house, 1 bicycle or 1 car, they should not have to.....it's up to them what they do with their money....

                  Got up to 90 today with about 80% humidity. Was in my pronto II and whilei could handle it easily,,, it wasn't fun. If these are like linen compared to the UHR… well then holy shit... still gonna preorder them though. $$ from the last two days eBay sales should be in my account by July 13. Sold a pair of alpine star tech 10 boots, a maple baseball bat and a Gustin 3/4 sleeve T-shirt. 210 US. 'Merica

                  Maybe I posted this in the wrong thread.  #888NT

                    Thanks @Giles

                    Perhaps, I should have been a bit more specific. Will wearing the UHR in a hot and humid climate (like that of India) lead to problems down there?

                    Yes. But there are products that can mitigate the issue.  Sounds funny but works GREAT!

                    Thanks @mikebarhoot  for suggesting this. I am going to take a look at this for its ingredients. 🙂

                      Haha… as soon as you tell yourself things like "I need a reserve pair", or "it's good to mix up styles" you're doomed anyway.  When you end up looking at the website and buying a pair "because you don't have anything in that denim" then you're officially a fiend 🤤

                      Thankfully, most pair of IH bottoms don't fit me.
                      I am now among those forum members who are relieved because a certain pair won't fit them, thus saving them from the temptation and guilt of buying it.

                                Ok, I just wanted to see if there was a place. It's not ritzy or expensive and of course there would be a forum member discount. Thanks though guys.

                                    If there is a size that looks "close" to what you need on the size charts, the IH crew would be totally willing to find you say, the sz. 33 with the largest thigh measurement. And still, if you try that and it doesn't work for you, the "no quibbles" return policy, and The Marketplace are good friends!!!

                                        Packing, physical exertion, unpacking. On the upside you get to Throw out so much shit you don't need or want anymore. On the suck side it involves either closing fees on a Mortgage or first and last months rent plus deposit.
