            BUT as I said somewhere, I can and probably will get more made (and in different sizes if need be)….

              I'm starting my search for a pair of jeans I can wear in the summer. As much as I'm loving my 21oz IH…I can't see myself wearing it through an Ohio summer.....who knows though.

              Anyway, I'm looking for something fairly opposite to the 21oz. Lighter, with a lot of slub and/or nep....something that will fade intensely and have a lot of character. Honestly, I'm looking more for something hairy and neppy more than slub.

              The search is half the fun....but for an initial pass I'm planning to look at PBJ, Strike Gold, Oni, Red Cloud. WHat brands am I missing, and what denim should I be including in my search?

                  Strike Gold has a new 15oz slack slubtastic fabric dropping soon. I'd wait, I think we will hear something from Kiya any day now and SG is always worth consideration.

                  Think it, be it.

                    It may not be as hairy as you're looking for, but I think TW's hank-dyed, natural indigo, organic cotton, 15oz is definitely "different" and is a relative bargain. I think once we see some pics of faded pairs, it will vanish quickly.

                      Samurai 15oz Texas Cotton (0500 or 0510 cut) could be something for you. If you like Flathead denim, the Eternal denim could be also something for you.

                      edit: if you are eyeing Red Clouds standard denim, Fullcount's 13,7oz denim is similar

                                They used to stock them in garbstore. Both the 7" and 11" engineers look pretty damn good for the price
