      The 18 has a much tighter weave than the 21, thus it breathes less readily than the 21.  Which actually is another remarkable thing about the 21, it breathes fantastically well, often feeling cooler than a tightly woven 13.5oz…

        though i´ve voted for the 21/23oz denim (i love my 634s-raw!) i´d also say that the 21oz denim is the best…used to own the 7301s and till today they were the most comfortable denim i ever owned!...can´t wait to get my hands on another 21oz pair (301s or 8301s) 🙂

                It all prefers on temps though…

                Hot: 21 oz
                Do-able: 19 oz 07 denim
                Cold: 25 oz

                But since I don't want 3 pairs in rotation: 25 oz. denim and 17 oz. duck...

                And I suppose a THANK YOU GILES is in order  😉

                    I'm not sure I have a favourite; they all have their points.

                    At the moment I'm just getting back into 21oz after a long period of 25oz - I'd forgotten how 'welcoming' the 21oz denim is. It's like coming back to an old friend.

                    In terms of fast/contrast fading, my 19oz Indos are wayyy ahead of the others. The 25oz is as stubborn as a mule, but after some wear it looks great.

                    Still haven't ventured into the 18oz IH denim, but sometime soon that will change.

                      I'd have to go with the 18 oz..yes the 21's are magical in The way they are soft but the shine that is developing on my 18 oz pair is pretty damn cool.  Oh and im a sucka for rigidness.

                              21oz sbg gets no love?  So far I'm really digging the feel and color

                                I love 21 oz in both forms, sanforized and od. They have great look and feel and all.  I want to repeat: I really really love them.
                                But
                                every time I jump into my 666XHS… Ouch!
                                25 oz is the ultimate, period.  😘

                                  25oz hands down. I don't understand why people say it's warm in 25oz.. I wear it every single day in 35 degree celcius weather and I still don't find it warm.

                                    Looks like 21 oz is where it's at so far?

                                        I've only worn the 21oz so far. I'm looking forward to trying other IH denims in the future, particularly the lighter weights, but I suspect it will be hard to top that "Ahhhh!" feeling of pulling my Busters on in the morning when the denim feels so good.

                                          I'm going with the 18 oz. raw.  Of the IH denim I have, I would rank them in this order:

                                          1.  18 Oz. Raw
                                          2.  21 Oz. SBG
                                          3.  25 Oz.
                                          4.  21 Oz.

                                          I like them all, but I seem to put on the Raw Busters more than the others.
