Hi all. Also been lurking for a while. Started with a pair of 21oz 666s, added a couple waffle henleys and the 17oz duck untucked CPO, and thought I was done for a while, but the thoughts of this UHR drop possibly being a last chance has me jumping in the forum and likely pulling out the wallet. Loved the idea of the low volume production of this UHR fabric for a small family business the other side of the world. I live in Dublin, Ireland. My grandfather was a draper in Mayo. I didn’t follow in his footsteps but I do try honour that heritage and support smaller producers of loved crafts now that I’m fortunate enough to be able to do so.

RE: IH-888S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim High Rise Tapered Cut Jeansposted in Bottoms
I’ve been lurking for a little over 6 months since I got my first 21oz 666s. Love them, the brand and the forum. Got a couple of waffle henleys and the 17oz duck untucked CPO since too. I really want a pair of the UHR, I was particularly drawn to the story of these looms and the family that made the fabric, it’s a big part of what drew me to IH. My problem is, I’m also about 3 months into a fitness/lifestyle and weight loss change and have no idea how successful it’ll be and what shape I’ll become. I don’t think it’ll be drastic changes but I think I could well be a different guy in 6-12 months. Very tempted to get myself a pair of these 888s that can be a target/reward for the work I’m putting in, in the hopes they fit my future frame. It’s a risk. It’s a healthier risk than betting against myself though and ending up in jeans that are too big. Was hoping to have a low cost month. Oh well.

RE: IHJ-162-GRY - 11oz Piqué Modified Type III Jacket - Light Greyposted in Jackets
I have a terrible feeling I’ll be buying one of these. Loved the look of it in the launch. Told myself I’d cut back my spending lately, then you guys go and launch a potential last run of the UHR denim a couple weeks ago so I had to get a pair, and then drop my favourite item from the SS26 launch in the same month! Rude. Curious to see if sensibility wins out for once. I’m not holding my breath.

Delighted I managed to snag one. Didn’t expect them to fly either and planned to buy this evening, but had a chance to check how things were around 16:24 and there was only 1 left in my size, XL, and everything smaller was gone already. It’s the one piece of the SS collection I hoped to get my hands on most. Need to hide my cards from myself for a while.

@Giles thanks for the clarification. Was too late anyway, I’d taken my chances, and glad I did because I snagged a pair of the 38s and they’re gone now. So glad to have got them, the story of this fabric was one of the things that drew me to you guys initially, delighted I’ll get my hands on some.

@Northman Thank you! Fingers crossed you’re right because I pulled the trigger! I’ll have some explaining to do if I’m paying duty on these… but you only live once.

Hi guys, do you know if anywhere outside of the UK will get to stock these? The duty on a shipment to Ireland would be monstrous, and I’m refreshing the IH Germany page like a madman for fear of missing out. I’d absolutely love a pair but just can’t risk the extra duty fees.
