I like the looks of these but they are too damn short…
-
^I will measure mine later, but they are a lot longer than the measurements indicate. Like A LOT longer. My complaint with these is the elastic is basically nonexistent. Someone had clearly tried on my pair at BiG before they sent it to me, because the waist is at least 4" larger than the quoted measurements. It's almost comical. I haven't had the time to try a hot wash and dry, but if that fails, they will be sold and replaced with some RMCs.
Selling would be a shame because the color is great. They are nowhere near as heavy or dense as the IHSW material, though. Indigo-dyed IH sweatpants is still the dream.
Also, my previous concern about the slimness of the leg was unwarranted. I have some serious thunder thighs and no issues here.

Summer is full in affect here. So grabbed two lightweight raw pairs, one is from LF, 10oz)deadstock light blue selvedge.
http://leftfieldnyc.com/products/deadstock-10-oz-japanese-light-blue-greaser-jeancan't really find a lot of lightweight jeans that aren't looking like what I already have.
Can't wait to get them this week.
-
Will do, supposed to be here tomorrow
They are also pretty low on stock, depending on your size.
-
Just got em, wearing them, they are awesome. The texture, the look, feel and weight is AWESOME. I never had such light denim. Good amount of character, it is smooth denim and breathes beautifully.
I will get some pics up asap.

Looks better in person
Love the bandana pockets
Love the hidden rivets too
-
They look good Jordan. Are they sanforised?
-
I don't know. They don't mention it on the website, but the denim is a bit hairy…I will soak them in the next day or two and see if measurements change.
-
Cool, let me know
-
Got this reply about them:
Hey Rocky, yes it is sanforized but can shrink up to 3%. thanks, Christian
-
Well I want to get make the length shrink a little. So a piss ass hot bath will be tonight for them, maybe a tumble dry to shrink em a bit extra.
-
Its completely unique for the bit I have seen. This stuff has some slubbyness to it as well. I see some thich parts, and vertical lines will be fading. This will probably be a pretty quicker fader.
I too didn't "NEED" these, but I am so into raw, I don't have any light pair of any jeans. I am done with jeans for a while….I hope.
Got to pull these out of the tub....I will see how much indigo these leaked out.

Nice lightweight LFs @Jordonf9, they look really good. I've been wearing my 10oz stf LVC 1937s this summer, can't even bear to be in the heat in 14-15oz denim never mind the 20oz+ that many around here favour.
-
Yea, if it isn't humid as hell my duck pants are easy to wear, as are the 3sixteen 14.5oz. Haven't tried my sexih22 301s in heat.
But these 10oz are awesome. They have a lot of character to them, brand new
would be something else if they were jeans though!
