      25 oz MBBs vs 23oz 634s - ~131 days wear

      I took a few photos, probably more than anyone actually cares to look at but I figured the difference between the shade and the sun was enough to put up both.  There's some die hard 23oz lovers in the 634 thread (me included) so I figured I would throw up some pics of the difference at the same life point of them.

      The 23 oz is just richer in color and feel is the best way I could describe it.  It's another step above the 25 oz and I'm just glad to have one pair.  I would probably also consider the 23oz to be slightly tougher than the 25 in terms of wear.

      I have two small regrets 1) I wish I would of bought another pair or two but finances were a little sketchy at the time, I knew I would have money in the future (like now) but at the time I just couldn't justify it and 2) the extra weird fades on the lower legs of the 23oz are because I use to put my pants on and then pull the legs up to my knees to put my socks on, weird I know, I've since changed that because I have seen what it does to this denim, oh well I guess it will always be my first pair and truly unique.

            i like that the actual fades on the 25oz denim are "spread" more widely compared to the pretty sharp fades on the 23oz denim! also the blue-grey-ish color of the 25oz denim looks just nicer somehow 🙂

                Yeah, I think with more wear the 23's will get that grey-ness about them. Hold tight to 2016 and I'll have pics for you :| 🙂

                  Great comparison. 23 oz for me (in terms of the fabric and fading, I prefer the creases of the 25 oz).

                    Thank you for the excellent comparison. Makes me wish I had picked up the 23oz 301s.

                              What's the inseam length on these? It makes me want to chop mine

                                11", but if I was to chop again, I'd go 12"

                                  Mine are 34x12 and I think it's a good length.

                                  Think it, be it.

                                      It's the actual color. I did the pics outside.

                                        dear lord! beauties in every aspect…would love to have a pair of these, looking the exact same way as yours do Mister C...just with the "normal" inseam length!

                                          One inch below the ruler pocket, per the Lord's guidance.
