19oz.? I think your confused, unless you have sample?

I touched this jacket with the 19oz LHT denim -> http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5004.0
Sure, its something different, but it´s dark and stiff. If you did not get a SEXIH13, you could like this

Oh I thought you implied jeans.

Ok. Please make sample in 33 or 34 ill be happy to test it for you..

I'm psyched for the 19 oz LHT 634s.  I wonder how it compares to the 18 oz?  I think that Haraki and friends could make almost any raw 634s at this point and I'd be on board…

nerkg, a follow up for you, same pair jeans (SEXIH13) with my 634S' to the right for comparison when not in sunlight;

Thx snow, yea i see, I have scraps of the 13 denim from mine getting hemmed, it's like black. I might be the minority but I can't stand the 21oz denim. I Like me denim a) ridgid not soft and b) not treated with an anti fading chemical like the 634s

Thanks for the shots snowman! Hope we get some more landed in here. I might do some evo pics this afternoon as these are starting to show a bit of wear. My sebenza has done a bit of damage to my right pocket as well and decimated  the top of the inner pocket lining as well as chewing up the stitching on the pocket and coin pocket… Might be considering new options for carrying my knife on future jawns

You need a vulcan Tat buddy

Too short in inseam story of my life

[davito]

Oh yeah forgot…but "highwaterstyle" with your road champ = top   only cold soak never wash

But of course these 23er ones are perfect for u

[tatmantall]

Perhaps one day ill be comfortable with that but honestly as thin and long legged as I am I look a bit disproportionate and "goon"-ish unless I have a jean with just a bit of stack. It helps balance things IMO. Maybe I'm just used to seeing the stack and need to open my mind a bit.

It's a thought though! And thank you David.

No worries bro you know what u like yourself most

I'd like to see this in unpopular opinions thread to see what discussion emerges.

I agree with it in a sense, but I regard my 634S as an exception, where the lack of rigidity and strength of dye are in service to stubbornness.

Ponyboy asks: What anti-fading chemical is used on IH jeans? Is it all IH denim? Why is it used? (I tried searching thru the forums and google but found nothing.)

[Giles]

You won't get an answer because we won't tell you.

Pony (great name btw, love The Outsiders) I think that a rigid, fast fading denim would not fit the IH ethic of durable, stubborn goods. Rigid means a shorter life, fast fades aren't stubborn, and plenty of other premium brands play that game.  And patience has its rewards, just look at some of the IH slow fades on this forum.

I'd say IH is the antithesis of Neil Young's lyric: "better to burn out then to fade away."
