IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans

[Giles]

@Dion:

G & Megatron,

1. Please use a heavy fabric (standard in other IH jeans) for the pocket bags. The herringbone fabric used in the UHR Beatle Busters was too thin and fragile in my opinion, especially for such an abrasive and stubborn denim like the UHR.

2. Will hemming be free?

3. Will the 888-UHR cost the same or more?

Thanks!

We'll use the same fabric as in the vintage jeans, our new standard heavy twill

Hemming will be free

The IH-888-UHR will be USD395

I've worn UHR in Indonesia, don't be soft

I've worn mine the whole last summer. It's definitely doable.

I've worn UHR the whole last week and I'm a wuss!

What were you doing in them? I will be landscaping in them so hard graft and sweating my nuts off no doubt. I am doing ok in 16oz Samurai's at the moment but this unbreathable UHR makes me a little concerned. I did 2 years straight in the 25oz but I was in air conditioning most of the working day then.

Just existing in clothes in Jakarta is a challenge, when I see Indonesians posting pictures wearing heavy denim I feel that I must salute their lunacy

Just to clarify. There will be 3 versions of the 888 coming out. The S, NT, and UHR. However the NT & UHR will be same denim, just different details?

I suspect the NT and UHR will be same jeans, just different patches. The NT patch being competition specific.

Thanks Neph. Just wanted to make sure my head was on straight.

Ok same denim different patches. Different price as well? Boys, I'm lost

[BloodnThunder]

Slightly different price, same denim, different patch.  Lets make it more complicated….  Ghost arcs on both DWC and standard versions?

[Fadez]

I think we get a break bc we're forum members and pre ordering.

I think that's the case yes. Or more precisely the NT pair are discounted to encourage participation in the competition.

[Giles]

This is not feckin rocket science and is effectively exactly the same thing as we have done for the last 2 competitions.

Same jean, different patch, DWC cheaper to encourage participation.

If that's too complicated for you, then perhaps we better do a zipper edition…..

Velcro! Or better yet, elastic!!!

What's the shrinkage like on the UHR?

[UnTucked]

Being that the size chart is "post soak", I'm guessing that the IH crew will be doing the math to ensure hemming of the raw jeans will equate to the desired post soak length?

We have shrunk the sample UHR pair, results will come later today when I have time to measure. @awalden
