      Having bookended the available weight spectrum with 25s & 17s, which in the 666 would you guys recommend next? I like the raws, but at the same point those 19L speak to me 😉

            Not to be a smart ass, but if I thought it was a quality of denim issue, my decision would be easy 😉

              I'd get the blue wefted one because it's most different

              Think it, be it.

                      I have problems with that quote the more I think about it. If the two have only small differences, one need look closer until the differences are major, and there's a single, clear 'A'.

                        I see your point as well Snowy, but when the expert can't quantify the difference as it would relate to the question…. The two biggest I see are raw or one wash, left or right hand twill. Given that all are sought after, and performance variables are minimum, that leaves only the decision itself and personal preferences. In other words, I'm no closer than I started 😉

                          Why bother, if the differences are small, why waste the time?

                          I'm also a great proponent of just making a feckin decision.  Prevarication wastes time, if you make a decision and it is wrong, you can usually adjust, if you don't make a decision, either nothing will happen or what was going to happen anyway does…..Far better to just get on with something (imo)....

                                      Mind you I'm a huge fan of the McDonalds Theory(https://medium.com/what-i-learned-building/9216e1c9da7d) to get things going.

                                      @Megatron1505 your new blog makes it seem like you spend hours upon hours looking for that 'one' detail that sets a first world artifact apart from others near identical. (nice content BTW 😘 )
