@will6er Big reason, because it's cool (for me anyways).

Also, I do open a fair amount of packages, envelopes, and cut the occasional tag, so it's pretty convenient to have on me.

If anyone's interested, they're having Scratch 'n' Dent event. The second's page is being updated somewhat frequently.

I managed to grab a tote bag for the brief time it was there.

@atlasfields that is great news!!!!

Just arrived. Oh how I've forgotten what fresh heavyweight denim feels like! It was a struggle to quickly try them on.

Looks good, feels like fresh heavyweight denim should, waist is pretty much on point. Now into storage they go for now!

@IH-GARY a seam ripper will make removing the arcs real easy! I did that for another brand's arcs years ago. Took about 10 minutes max.

I believe in you if that's what you want to do!

@Steve I was already smitten with the indigo option, but black too!??! This might be a tough one.

@Lynne I'm totally glad I ran into this update! My wallet is giving me an evil look, but I'll live.

@dwils I had a similar wait time with my current competition pair. I figure it won't be as bad.

@dwils UHR purchaser here.

Since this will be my Y6 Indigo Invitational competition pair, I'll try them on real quick and then put them away, tags on. It's a struggle waiting almost a year to wear them in and stuff, but I can handle it.

@goosehd duly noted. Will use hot water.

@iamjustdanny hot water is better, but yes.

Sweet! I was hoping that I can combine the soak and wash steps.

I also don't want to put these in the washing machine just yet.

@timmyboy As I understand it, the gospel as handed down by Haraki is:

Soak
> Let dry
Wash
Let dry
Wear

Corrected version. And @Kasi is correct in that you could wear them wet or damp to no harm, but you don't need to

Definitely new to unsanforized denim, so I have to ask.

Can i just do a hand wash ( woolite dark with some agitation and warm water) in the tub when I first get it, to get the shrink out? Then hang dry and wear?

Snagged!!!!!

@Alex does this mean 1955 too

No, sorry - we couldnt do it for this denim

@AdamJ said in IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo:

@Duffputter yes, but the 634 and 888 are first.

Just my luck... the exact fits that i'd be targeting.

@Alex @ShopatIronHeart will we know before the release/new stock is gone if this will be the last run or not? Was really wanting to get 18v this year, but have FOMO if UHR is going away

To the best of our knowledge, this will be the final run. We want to keep making it, but we have been told that it maybe too hard. I would plan on this being the last, if you want a pair.

UHR about to hit the top of people's lists! Myself included. Especially for next year's Indigo Invitational

@marco23d I think Preview Only is being able to get in during venue setup in the hopes of accessing rare items before the general public.

Bonus update!

Finally gave my competition denim its first wash! I had to take advantage of the current heatwave, so this dried within a few hours.

While it doesn’t look like much of a change, the texture/feel in the faded and unfaded areas are awesome! The faded parts are a lot smoother than the unfaded parts.
I have to admit, this pair definitely looks better in person than in pictures :p. I’m pretty happy with how they’re coming along, so far.
