Talk about an irregular weft I think this is 5105

@swiss-jeansfreak and I started getting very excited about the raw 24.8 ounce Extra Hard SG9903s! I could see where you could get 2 pairs raw in different sizes. He sussed it out and when I went to look again next morning one of the two pairs had gone! He admitted he was the guilty party. I quickly snaffled the last pair, a size 32 hoping they would fit. Well they do and were so much easier to do up and less course than my 2016 size 32 UHR634s.

@Jeansman Amazing, I always wanted to feel these in person! Surprised to hear they are more malleable the the UHR, although I never felt the original version of that denim..

@Jeansman Nice! Very cool fabric. Are you putting these to use straight away?

(I have a pair of these in the tapered, one washed version, SG9904, tucked away, waiting for the right occasion. Might be a little while, too many great IH jeans to get through )

Thanks @T4920 . I also have a few pairs of unworn earlier edition UHRs you could feel and some barely worn earlier edition XHSs as well as some unworn Full Counts with arcs and red tabs and loads of unworn LVC.

@JunkPants I wore them this afternoon but generally will wear them in gradually alongside my UHRs as I am having so much fun with my UHRs. The SG9903s are not good for soft furnishings as they shed indigo (at least on my hands) like crazy.

Go to https://www.instagram.com/jasad_liar88?igsh=aXJ0MW53d2x3bWc3 to see the fades on his competition pair which look to me like One Washed one's.

@Jeansman Very cool, looking forward to seeing yours after some wear!
(Worst indigo bleed I've experienced personally was a pair of Samurai raw 25oz).

Yeah, saw that Indigo Invitational pair the other day (which I agree are probably the one washed version), they sure look great!

So many cool jeans, only one pair of legs......
