      @BalticBob I have edited your post, added the pictures, moved your post to this area, and removed the link.

      Still working on which shirt it is and hoping someone will chime in on their thoughts.

        @tody Good thought, but I can’t tell what buttons those are as the pictures are pretty bad.

          @goosehd thanks for moving this to the right place!

          @tody thanks for the hint! I’ll ask for some info about the buttons.

            @tody I think you got it. @BalticBob take a look here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/2549/ihsh-75-12oz-indigo-selvedge-denim-work-shirt?page=1

            I can’t tell from the buttons, but the chain stitching looks right (brown).

                      what is the most dense IH denim? Is it post soak UHR, 19oz LHT, one of the OD versions or maybe some other extinct fabric?

                        @Karol I don’t know if there’s a way to measure other than feel, but in my experience I’d say the densest I’ve encountered would be the 25oz Mad Black. Probably second to that would be XHSII.

                        Maybe worth adding that while lighter weight, the 14oz feels like a pretty damn dense weave. We talk pretty frequently about it being less breathable than many.

                          @Karol loombreakers…they broke the machine whilst weaving the material.

                            @popvulture ahh the 25oz MB, if only that fabric could make a come back! I'm always waiting for @Oaktavia to post some new photos.
                            @goosehd I remember reading something about them in older forum posts. That was duck right?

                            anything else that comes to mind?

                                @goosehd I need to read up on this topic, I remember that after the shuttle loom broke the rest was made on a more modern type of loom. What a story!

                                  The easy way to measure this is to measure the thickness of the fabric. The weight measurement is already an aerial/surface density being a ounces per square yard. Then just convert that aerial to an actual density using the third value. I can take some measurements and put together a list later after work today. Now I'm curious.

                                  But really, just by feel, the mad black does feel pretty dense. Though I'm pretty consistently amazed with how thin UHR feels given it should be 23oz. Putting on XHS after wearing UHR for a month feels like putting on 21 after wearing 14 almost.

                                    @pechelman yeah man I’d agree about UHR. For some reason it seems to get a reputation for being a punishing denim, but in my experience it’s definitely on the comfier side of other heavy denims I’ve had, various iterations of XHS included. UHR’s a huge fave of mine, both in terms of feel and fading.

                                          @pechelman I would appreciate it so much!! Your proposed measurement method might be just what we need.
                                          I was recently thinking about this topic, as I initially came to IH for heavy fabrics that are super wearable (and boy oh boy IH does deliver) but after I got IHSH-362-BLK - 16oz Non-Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Superblack (Fades to Grey) I realized I like ''cardboard - like'' denim as well 😃
                                          I want to understand what makes it this way and what other fabrics like that I should have on the radar.
                                          @goosehd pointing to loombreakers suggests it has to be connected with the weaving tension. I guess the 16oz (IHSH-362-BLK) was non-selvedge to facilitate that increased tension.
