      I love Austin, yeah I would not mess with denim that doesn't breathe in Texas. I think the unsanforized 18oz is supposed to breathe less than the 21oz classic denim.

        @Megatron1505. They shrunk over 2inches in the waist??

        I think he was talking about the inseam, earlier he said that the 36 shrunk to 35…

            @Megatron1505 my 666UHR stretched out to tag size quite fast. They hurt quite a bit in the beginning. First week was quite painful.

              It would definitely be a challenge, I did wear a pair of 20 oz Flat Head's in the summer here once and that was tough as the denim was not the most breathable.
              I don't know how those Thai guys manage to do it!

                Well, if you do take the plunge, I would recommend sizing up one because you'll be washing them pretty regularly I would guess!

                  Valid suggestion, I think I'll most likely hold off and just enter my Ooe Yofukutens into the contest.
                  I don't think I could put up with 100+ degree weather for a few months in such a heavy pair of jeans.
                  Hell, I've got to work on the other two pairs of IH denim that I already do have.
                  It's just tempting see how nice these pairs turned out.

                    You guys and heat. I work outside and wore the 23oz SE last summer and the 25oz MMBs the previous summer.  Sack up boys 😉

                      @Megatron1505 they look fantastic.  That's the best fitting jean I have ever seen you in.  I am sure the pain in the waist is not pleasant but if you can make it through, you are going to be set…

                        Thanks guys, these jeans are worth a little discomfort trust me.

                            I'm going to try to wear mine through the summer and it gets pretty hot and humid in NYC.

                                Haha! I imagine I won't be wearing them much in July and August.

                                    Well, Manhattan was once a swamp, thus swamp nuts aren't hugely surprising. 😃 😉
