Giles what's your favorite pair of jeans you ever did? What thing have you made that you're most proud of?

Dstauffer

My bet is the 666 cut…

Giles

Yes, The IH-666S. It was my first attempt at designing a jean and speccing a denim…..

I'm very proud of the 25oz denim.

And UHF. H had given up on making it because the guy who weaves it "has moved to another mill, and I do not know where". I "suggested" he found out where the guy had moved to and start making it again......

Thanks for sharing that. And again I’m sorry if I offended the cut you designed and are most proud of… holy shit I can really put my foot in my mouth.

Dstauffer

for me (IMHO) 25oz is the best denim, ever.

UHR is very, very close second, but I was late to the party and have only had minimal experience with it…hoping H can track that guy down and bring it back.

Giles

He has. It was UHF, not UHR and the conversation was about 4 years ago….

Ha! I love how my brain just made that "F" an "R" when I read it

I absolutely love the 25 oz denim. My new pair was nice enough for me to switch from my overalls today. They are flying with me in my suitcase so I hope they are safe. Haha

That's cool to know. Thanks.

The 25oz denim is next on my list as I have yet to experience that fabric.

You should receive a very healthy lifelong pension for this reason alone. UHF's are what drew me to IH in the first place and are exactly what IH are all about (among other things of course). There is truly nothing else like them on the market and the ones I own consistently get positive remarks and compliments on them from friends and strangers alike. To me that speaks for itself and is a testament to the quality and uniqueness.

Matty123

Next on my list for sure

I'm inclined to say that the regular XHS is better than the double indigo XHS. You should get a pair asap.

Matty123

I will. As soon as I can $wing it! Haha. Plus I’m
Still dropping lb’s so I should wait.

yep, the UHF's are my favorite article of clothing by IH. I like the idea of a shirt that has it's roots with American Pioneers, made of Peruvian cotton and manufactured in Japan. And it's insanely warm.

It was popularised by American pioneers. It’s roots are from a couple of hundred years earlier and Welsh.
