What is your favorite IH denim.

@nerkg:

Not underrated. They are not for sale, sold out and there not making them anymore so why would anyone know about them

Not sold out yet- about a dozen pairs left in small and large sizes.  That means there are nearly 200 pairs out there in the world, and have been for over a year (they were released in October 2011).  Sure most went to Indonesia, so that gives them a lower profile than if they were all sold in the US, but we've got loads of Indonesian members.

I expected the SEXIHXINDO thread to have more than 10 pages, which is less activity than other slow selling/low volume models like the grey and white 634s and the 1955.  I think "underrated" is a reasonable label.

Or maybe I'm just bitter that my pair didn't fit and I had to sell them…

Small and large sizes, exactly.

I'm not sure how you can choose a favourite unless you have the same pair in all the different weights.

Yes, this is a subtle ploy to inquire about the future availability of the Devil's Cut in 21oz.

I have all of the above mentioned denims except the SE versions and love all of them in their own way. My entry into the IH world was their flagship 634S in the great 21oz and I believe this to be the most versatile. But again I do love all of the different weights depending of which jeans I catch in the morning or change during the day

I would also have thought that the length of the thread is a reasonable indicator of the 'buzz' around a particular product, and am also surprised that the Indo has only made 10 pages. Compare this to the SExIH07, which is a very similar cut made from the exact same denim, which has a 48 page thread in which everyone raves about how great they are.

I do wonder (as Sugar Mtn said) if the Indonesian element affected the way some people viewed the product.

As a side note, the Indo cut is very similar to my Vulcans, which there is clearly a reasonable buzz around.

Either way, it's interesting from a marketing viewpoint.

Bottom line is that the 19oz denim is probably my favourite, but it's so damn hard to decide!

21oz because its all I know. Looking to expand my horizons with 18 and 25 in the new year.

25 will blow your mind

[joesaintjohn]

I'm so looking forward to it.

of topic but just noticed this post.  pretty sure this is in the works as a collab piece for Spring/Summer of 2013, so you might be in luck

I saw that - hoping they go into general production. That blue/green circle thing throws me off (yes, I know it will be covered by a belt).

[RocknRoll]

Same here, but I think it should be pretty easy to unpick the circle.

[Giles]

Dead easy…..

Hey, long time lurker but new forum member (can finally search, haha). I've been looking for a thread like this for a while.

I was wondering if we could revive this thread, everyone told their favorite over 10 years ago with a whole different arsenal of options. I want a new denim and am having the toughest time deciding, and figured a post like this would be the easiest way to see what everyone likes the best and why, and maybe it can help me make a decision.

For the limited pairs I have, the 21oz indigo is my favorite. Love the feel, the drape, the slow fade, the heft, everything about it (not the best at describing denim haha).

For me it is the 777-XHSib

The flagship 21oz is the perfect gateway drug… you did well by starting here. tripping your balls off day 1 with some of the gnarlier fabrics is not advised. But since you’re now “experienced”, XHS is one hell of a ride.
YMMV of course but drape and feel is only amplified with the XHS lineup. That and the evolution of this fabric put them in a league of their own.

[Choko]

I’m a 14oz guy. It’s not at all “thin”. Still hefty

[Mizmazzle]

XHS is King!!
XHSbb is the Kings punk rock little brother!!

[seawolf]

Depends on the time of year.

Summer: 21oz
Winter: XHS
Spring/Autumn: depends on the day

21oz, but I just received my first pair of 25oz yesterday, so we'll see how the winter goes.

My answer hasn’t changed much from the last time.

[jerkules]

19oz LHT. Rigid, leathery, super inky when new, has leg twist, amazing fades. Admittedly I’ve not tried all the denim offerings but it’s my fav I’ve tried.
