Me too. I had the 25oz Pronto II and ur was awesome but I sold them cuz weight loss
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.

Still dropping lb’s so I should wait. -
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…...
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.
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.

The Welsh invented everything. They would have taken over the world, but the English introduced them to sheep…

Ah, now I see where the confusion is. I was referring to the Western shirt having its origins with American Pioneers, not flannel. But, it seems it goes even further back to Mexican cattle herders.

I recently got a 666S-18 and am in love with the fit, it has knocked off Levis 501 from the 1st spot for me, no doubt its a very flattering yet functional fit. Only gripe is I did not dare to get it in the 21 oz
because 666S-18 in W34 has thigh measurement of 12" but 666S-21 W33 ( actual waist is 34") has a thigh measurement of 11.5, that is ridiculously tight even for an average guys with quite slimmer legs :[img alt="IH-Comparions.png"]https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ihf-images/231/14320/0ec9d987-34ef-4928-9522-50863a4f2052.png
WHY ?

All the 666 cuts work for me. Guess why? Yep, I designed them for me. If by happy coincidence, you are a similar shape to me, then you're in luck, if you aren't sorry. I asked Haraki f a particular new release was coming in ladies sizes recently, he shrugged and said "If Tom wants one, we will"…. We try not to abuse our privilege, but it is our playground
We obviously strive for consistency across the same cut type, but this is not an exact science and sometimes we really screw up. But we try to play that to ours and yours advantage, by having variance in sizing across the same cut in different denims, or indeed the same cut in the same denim, we can find a pair that suits more people....

This is really important. My body shape means anything slim can be an issue in the thigh, while wide straight cuts can make me look short and blocky. With research and the help of IHUK I own, wear and enjoy at least one each of the major IH cuts with the exception of the 777 (I’ll crack that cut one day too).

Too bad, you could rather make something for yourself any time.

…. That makes sense, but you should consider uping 666S-21's thighs by a bit for the masses and get an exclusive custom pair with gold lining for yourself. ... thats just my thought, but you are a better judge.

I was gonna start a thread about his. But maybe I shouldn't? I've often wondered: does Iron Heart 21oz denim have the softest hand of any Japanese denim? My overalls are so crazy soft now. All over. I doubt how there could be anything softer and silkier. I realize this topic is highly subjective. But please feel free to chime in what you all think.
