      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.

            Neph Im 45 miles north NYC and we experience the same weather. the 21 oz was tolerable for me all summer but the pronto 25 was brutal. be sure to let me know if you ever come back to NY. ill buy you a beer.

            Maybe so. Maybe not

                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]

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

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

                              Btw, not sure if anyone's using the 18oz vintage for this contest but I think that would be a cool choice for this.  They have a unique Indigo hue right out of the bag compared to most raw denim.  They are also very breathable so in most climates you can literally wear them year round and be relatively comfortable.  They have a very good blend of weight and wearability.  I was very pleasantly surprised to find out how comfortable these were to wear in Phoenix during the summer months.  Sure they were hot in the peak summer months but I actually wore them more than my 14oz this summer which was completely unexpected.  I would say I could wear these 11 months out of the year here which is saying something for a pair of 18oz jeans in Phoenix.

                              The fades also look very promising.

                                They drop indigo like no other IH denim, with the exception of the UHR. Everytime I put mine on I see they've lost more.

                                  Just dropped some pics of my last two contest jeans in a new thread if anyone needs an idea of what the 25oz, and the UHR look like after some wear.

                                    Wow, I had forgotten how much 25 oz denim can hurt.  I have been wearing 14 over the last 6 months because of summer and stuff.

                                    I've got bruised thumbs and indigo everywhere.  But I managed to wrestle myself into the 25 indigo/indigo which I'll exist in for the next couple years.

                                    I told my girl that I'll be sleeping in these jeans for the next two year.  She said me or the jeans, so I guess I'll take them off at night  😃

                                    I went with a 31, and they are skin tight, like so tight I don't know think I'll be able to fit the normal one or two layers of wool long johns on that I normally wear during the winter.  Hope this 25 oz is warm!

                                    Pics to come.

                                            Thanks for putting those pictures up and the advice.  I am going to see how the 888’s fit when they come in and decide on either the 634 xhs-od or the 888’s.
