        Shubz: I will buy another pair of Iron Heart this year. I want a slim fitting indigo pair, preferably 21 or 23 oz. Overdyed would be completely ballin. So I hope one of the 3 new models will be a heavy, slim fitting indigo pair. I'll pick it up during the summer then (still have that bet going til July 01). I also hope it doesn't have the standard IH backpocket stitching as I thoroughly dislike that but hell I can always have it removed.

            nope..19oz all the way…new denim developed for se..I can only think of the 634-sr special edition which is 21 pre - and 23 post soak..

            They're 19oz/sq yard pre soak, and these shrink. Therefore, they would weigh more than 19oz/sq yard post soak

            Checked with Kiya. He said they're approximately 21oz post soak

            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

              ^ yeah, I always understood denim weight to refer to square yard after laundering. And as the weave tightens when an unsanforized jean is soaked, that is where the unsanforized gains oz's.

                  guys - if this were the case I´m sure Kiya would point that out in the description. I am pretty sure they are 19oz pre and post soak..

                        301s, 21oz, right
                        I thought this was about the SEXIH07 BK…anyways - 19 or 21 post soak - beautiful denim.

                            not really , Seul…sanforization changes the weight of the denim as well...(controlled shrinkage) so the 301s which uses 21oz raw denim - should weigh 23 when it hits the shelves. I am seriously confused...

                              Like I said before, I got an email from Kiya regarding the question, he says and I quote

                              "They're about 21oz after soak

                              k"

                                  Now, I'm confused. How did 301S come into the discussion ? Those are sanforized. I own a pair. They're 21-oz period, post and pre-soak !

                                    I think I am responsible for the confusion - mad day.

                                    301S are sanforised and 21oz
                                    SEXIH07 are 19oz in loom state

                                            So….if you soak a pair of 21oz IH301S, will they take on anymore weight?

                                            😞

                                            Nope. Cuz 301S and 634S are sanforized. They stay 21oz.
