What is your favorite IH denim.

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.

cross post cause i'm a numb-skull:
my favorite of the moment is the 18oz. the easiest way to put it is the 21oz are like a dinner party with all the extra forks & spoons & twenty napkins & 4 glasses for water & tea & wine great & comfortable from the start, so you got that.
now the 18 is like a dive bar that you go into & although you have no idea how you ended up in there & you end up having a great time. both are good for what they are & are good experiences but it's something about that dive bar & people just being natural & letting it all hang-out.
left out the 25oz & the sbg as i have & wore them but not enough to really give an informed opinion.
left-out overdyed denims as they are a specially treated denim & i'm not crazy about any of them (as of right now). OD was exciting for me at first, but now it just reminds me of acid wash, stonewashed denim. just an extra process which takes the denim out of it's natural state.

no fair, most haven't experienced lucky lefty, & you give no reasons. like a critique just saying the movie was good because or i liked the food but don't know why ::)
why are you over here, you got 2 products to get up to the masses (if we are lucky maybe 3)

Currently, 21ozod as I absolutely love wearing my SExIH01od at the moment. However, I am a fickle bitch, and that may change.

not convinced on 25oz, don't like how my pair drape, but in all fairness i haven't given them even a weeks worth of wear to settle down
i love instant gratification (as instant as you can get with Iron Heart) is the 21 for comfort & drape. for character driven denim i go with 18
of course this is in no way saying the 25 is not an amazing fabric. it is just saying i like my clothing to give a little bit more.
with all these denims the best part is the fabrics are done so well you tend to forget until you have something of lesser quality. the weight of the denim IS NOT the most important part to me. funny writing that & knowing how much i love what the Iron Heart massive do, but the best part is the construction of the fabric & then the construction of the actual article of clothing. weight is cool, but for the most part the heavy is just a by-product of the limits being pushed in textile production
when you sit & take it in you know it's done well, but the greatness is so well hidden it is easy to miss & not appreciate . . . until you have something less wonderful to compare it with.

at mega,
best part about your situation is that the OD process isn't even handled the same way as when those jeans where born (you got true deadstock goodness). the OD process has been tweeked to the extent the denim comes out dark as a starless night in the middle of no where. the pair you have look more like dusk where you can see alot of the original face of the denim shining through.
glad you got those jeans as they really needed some love. i didn't realize they were 21oz, thought they were SE mutant denim
