      XHS-Od is a great idea. That stuff wears in beautifully. The regular XHS gives high contrast fades at the crease points and lovely vertical fading on the thighs etc. They'd be good DWC jeans too, without a doubt.

        I'd totally melt wearing a 25oz jean during the summer. Holy crap! I'm entering boring old Levi's 501XX 1947s. 14oz is going to keep me from smelling like a bog in July…

          My thoughts are the same.....'What can I comfortably wear most of the year and also take on holiday'.

            25oz breathes surprisingly well, 21 is also good. The 14od is less breathable than the standard 14, but still good summer jeans.

              I'm good in 25oz up to about the low to mid 20's . Which works well given where I live [emoji1]

                Are the 25oz more breathable than the original 18oz?

                  I'd say so yes. The 18oz and UHR are the two IH denims that breathe the least.

                    Oh damn…you've just given me a ray of light.  I've never really given them a second thought since I live in the middle of a desert but if they are that breathable then they might be doable for winter.

                      Nice! They're don't let the air circulate like the 21oz but this summer I was doing physical work in mine in 20C and not sweating unduly. Given that you prefer a looser fit as well you may be positively surprised.

                        Oh man… only 20s? I wish that was as warm as it got here in NYC... I'm from Michigan, so sometimes it got close to the 30s, but NYC it happens a lot and it's super humid from the ocean [emoji21] I melt from May to Sept. Then wear a denim jacket most of the winter season [emoji38]

                          My brother lives in Brooklyn and complains regularly about the heat. I spent five days in Manhattan in May a few years back and suffered in 21oz.

                          I live north of the arctic circle so anything over 25C is a rarity. I think we had maybe a dozen 20C+ days this summer.

                                    Here's a weird thing, all the big Norwegian metal acts are far, far more popular in the rest of the world than in Norway. Don't let that stop you though. Lots to see and do [emoji4]

                                      @neph93 you did mean 20 degrees celcius right?  Just making sure.
