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.

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.

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.
