Another wash.
They look boss! What's caused the wear in the back of the calves?

Thank you both.
I don't actually know, I don't do anything out of the ordinary in them!

Fit pick might tell the story. . . .

Do you tuck into boots?

What I thought. Or the fades are caused by the tops of boots under the jean.
Fun new game: Guess the fade.

I don't tuck them in, here's a shot of how they are usually, sometimes with an extra fold if worn with my 875s

I have similar fades (not as pronounced) on the inside of my calves; I get them from sitting at a desk and rubbing my legs against my chair.

I'm on my feet all day, I sit at a desk for maybe 30 minutes a day.

First wash after half a year effective wear. The real colour is something in between the two pics. My favorite jeans, so comfy!

Hey guys, Im trying to decide between the IH-555-01 and 1H-555-02.
(input from anyone that owns both would be awesome)
What ive gathered from browsing is the 18oz (02) is harder to break in, stretches less,keeps you warmer
and that the 01 surprisingly breathes better from how the fabric is woven and stretches more. correct me if i'm wrong. So far im leaning towards the 01.My last pair of denim was 14oz im concerned that the transition from 14 to 21oz will be too much.
I live in upstate NY so it can get cold, will these keep me as warm as the 18oz? Will they be bearable in NY summers?Also haven't seen any cool fade pics from theses anywhere
Saw a few impressive fades with the 18oz and lots from the 666s…..

Your research has been effective as your understanding is good. Although warmth wise there won't be a noticeable difference. Apart from in the summer, you can wear the 21oz in the summer, it breathes that well. The 18oz really doesn't.
I'd go with the 21oz because of the following:
1. All round wearability.
2. It's IH's flagship denim. They make nearly all their cuts in this. Get it, wear it, love it, then try the other stuff. You'll be amazed that 21oz can be do damn comfortable.
3. Going from 14oz to the IH 21oz will be easier than going from 14oz to 18oz.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never tried the 18oz so can't comment on that. What I do know is that the 21oz is unbelievably comfortable. So much so that I honestly find it difficult to wear anything else now.
In terms of warmth, I live in the french alps (Grenoble, same latitude as New York I think) and they are perfect in winter. I couldn't wear any denim here in the summer though…way too hot for that. They do breath better than other pairs of 14oz i've had though.
For a first experience, you really can't go wrong with the 21oz. -
I second what neph93 and bertoni said. The 21 oz is a great option to jump on the IH-bandwagon. Check your measurements and keep in mind that it can stretch pretty easily. The comfort and appearance of the 21 oz denim are simply amazing. It's in its own league. After you experienced your first IH I'd also recommend the raw 18 oz (maybe in a different cut?) because it has so much character and is simply superb as well. And Welcome :)!

I went from 14oz to 21oz, like the others have said the 21oz from IH is really breathable and comfortable.
Through winter they are good, I tried to wear mine through summer but gave up for a few weeks (I live in Brooklyn, NY)Hope this helps, you won't regret getting them.
