UES Denim

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Another short circuit decision of 2020 was this purchase, UES 400S.

Size 34. Without a belt the low rise is no problem. 

 

[Duke Mantee]

Any lower and you’d need to wax but they look good

[RunMountainDrew]

I ordered the polo, sized up to a 3 to be safe.  I have no pecs to speak of, so I didn't want to risk an unflatteringly tight chest.  Since it won't be here until May I grabbed an indigo extra heavy flannel to hold me over.    I already have one of their extra heavy flannels, and have been eyeballing the indigo for ~2 years.  Glad I finally snagged one.

Great shirt

Another great interview by Dave

[Bobbo]

He does such a great job with these interviews. 

[ColonelAngus]

Excellent interview

[JDelage]

Cool interview. I like his "one pair a year" approach. He comes out as a super genuine guy, I like that. Makes me want to buy some UES honestly.

I'm slow.

loving these new pre-order flannels from UES

[julian-wolf]

Saw the email this morning and got all excited, but I don't think any of the colors this year really do it for me

[Toegun]

I’m interested in the denim travelling shirt, hopefully they’ll have my size back in stock next month. 

[Geeman]

Great colours as ever 

[ColonelAngus]

I’m thinking I’ll order the two posted above. But, UES doesn’t specify when they’ll ship. I’m assuming since they’re pre-orders for FW21 they’ll ship late summer. Really digging the color ways they put out

[julian-wolf]

They should ship in around August, yeah

[peter1]

His answer on Zimbabwe was hilarious.

I'm also just excited to know how to pronounced Ues.

Heard back from UES and they specified a September ship date.

Saying farewell to these 400T, just sold but wanted to share them here before they leave...

[ColonelAngus]

Any of you have experience with UES’s knits, especially their hoody? I was looking at Withered Fig’s sizing recommendations for UES henleys and they say to size up 2 from your western size, 1 up from your Japanese size. Is this your experience with the hoodie as well? 

[ColonelAngus]

I picked up the navy flannel not too long ago but have only recently been able to wear it now that the temps have dropped. It's super beefy and the fit works for me. Love the acorn pockets and the hidden pen slot as well. Great colorway to boot. I'm officially a fan and will definitely buy more in the future. Still wished UES made a larger sized type III as i'd like to try that out someday.

Hmmm. Nothing really stands out for the flannel pre-orders for me

[RunMountainDrew]

Anyone grab one of the new indigo tricotine shirts?  The thumbnail image on the homepage made this look pretty much exactly like the indigo extra heavy flannel, but it seems like the double twill weave will give this shirt some extra character that a flannel can't quite achieve.  I assume anyways, I don't know -- to be honest, I've never heard of trocotine before so I'm actually very curious about the hand feel, drape, and general characteristics of this.

Love that I found a topic on this brand. I found this little shop back in 2009. It’s a must visit! Great denim and other items. 

[Kay Phades]

Do you have any favorite items you own, Bluehands? I've managed to grow my UES collection since finding out about them in '13.

Great flannels and the fastest fading denim I've ever worn.

I've got a indigo flannel size 3 for sale if anyone is interested 

[ColonelAngus]

Think I’m gonna jump on these when they’re available. The ones that came out in Fall ‘22 didn’t do anything for me, so I’m glad there are color variants I like this time.

Sorry for the late reply. I only have that hat now. I had a couple of tees but they eventually were lost or stolen.

Just ordered these. Or as I like to call them, the San Diego Chargers and Buffalo Bills flannels 

[ColonelAngus]

Got my flannels yesterday. Great quality and color ways. The yellow on the blue flannel is a bit more muted and not obnoxiously loud. Good stuff 

[itschrisb]

Picked up these 400ww jeans last week. First pair of UES and first pair of a more vintage fitting pant. I have to say I’m really digging them so far. The denim and details are awesome.
