IH-1955S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

I wear every denim for a year (almost every day, and whatever I do) when it is first released. All last about a year before they start giving up on me......

Some people have actually observed the contrary. Heavier fabrics can abrade more at the crotch and have blowouts earlier than expected.

I think cut matters more for general durability than fabric. Generally none of my 1955s have broken down versus heavyweight denim in slimmer cuts where crotch needed repair out after about a year

Same thing goes for suits that I have. I’ve got some super 140 suits with relaxed cuts that have outlasted flannels that were on the tighter side

To me it’s about sizing. Wear jeans like they’re painted on & hey presto! Blowout in no time.
