Loving this denim more and more.

Wearing mine for the first time today. It is wonderfully good denim. Lots of character, straight out of the bag.

@xtcclassic

Denim looks great!  Fade on that wabash looks pretty nice,  too.

those look fucking great @Giles.

[xtcclassic]

WOW.

I just gave mine their first wash and I was surprised at the amount of evo. This denim rules.

Pics after one wash. I washed these together with my 14oz and 25oz 666's, all inside out with a good amount of agitation. No noticeable difference on the other two pair, but these lightened up a bit and you can see a couple of marks on the thighs from the wash, I'm assuming because of the rougher denim rubbing against itself during the agitation. As is obvious from Giles's pair, this is a great denim for fast fades, I've worn mine no more than 20 times.

Excellent! … little strokes fell big oaks ... also these stubborn 18oz Vint. denim beasts.
Think, I must give my 634's more 'treatment'.

Sorry, I can't stop taking pictures of these.

^Totally understand, it's wonderful denim. Drops indigo like the UHR, hairy and crunchy to boot. I normally treat new pairs nicely as they are my work trousers in a semi-casual environment but I'm considering just trashing these to see what happens. The evo would be fantastic.

[xtcclassic]

I have a feeling the evo will be fantastic regardless. I swear this denim has more character every time I look at it.

Hi guys! How do you think these jeans for the summer or take 14oz? In the summer I have 15-25 degrees Celsius

[xtcclassic]

I have both, I'm waiting for it to really warm up here so I can do some experimenting, which I may be able to do this week actually as it's getting pretty warm today. I can tell you that these breathe more than the 14oz, but @manufc10 has said that he thinks the 14oz might be a bit cooler.

Yeah like @xtcclassic said, IMO the 14oz are still a bit cooler than the 18oz.  The 18oz do seem to be more breathable but I think just that extra weight with the 4oz difference still makes them warmer IMO.  I experimented a bit with it over the past few weeks as we were already flirting with 100 degrees F in AZ.  FWIW AZ is a dry heat.  Temps have dropped back down lately though so I'm back to the 18oz until the miserable summer hits.

[xtcclassic]

Also, I don't mean to imply that the 14oz doesn't breathe, just that the 18oz breathes noticeably more. They're both great denims so you won't go wrong either way. I'm partial to the 18oz because it's a fast fader with lots of character, but I love the 14oz as well.

Edit: I just realized this was my 1000th post. I need a hobby lol.

[gosha]

Thank you, guys! I choose this time 18 fast faders. I want to see more beauty on myself, and not just on the Internet))

[xtcclassic]

You'll love them. Post pics when you get them, this thread needs more action!

Snuck this picture of @Giles in today's meeting. About 3, & 3 washes to date. These age super fast 

[xtcclassic]

When I said this thread needed more action, I'm not sure that @Giles 's ass is what I had in mind.
