      Thanks. I feel very fortunate to have found something I love so much because I feel the inclination to mentally critique ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING I wear.

                    Apologies, as the answer to this is probably lost within the 150+ pages of this thread, but is there a simple guide to how the various IH indigo denims fade, in terms of speed, colour, characteristics?

                    I'm interested in specifically the 21oz, 18oz and 14oz, as I have the 526J and 101J, but sense that the 21oz 526 is lighter coloured and fades quicker than the 18oz 101.  I also have the 634S and 634S-B and am toying with the idea of getting the 14oz ones too.

                    I guess I'd also like to see how the 19oz and 17oz compare too.

                          19oz and 14oz I have no experience with. The 18oz (both the OG and the vintage) fades quicker and with greater contrast than the 21oz. The 17oz is in between but as stated elsewhere, holds it’s colour for a while before losing it rapidly. It also fades with greater contrast than the 21oz.

                          Don’t get me wrong mind, 21oz fades are beautiful, beautiful things.

                            I guess I'd also like to see how the 19oz and 17oz compare too.

                            It's worth pointing out that the 21 oz denim has a treatment done to it to retard fading. So at the beginning the jeans are stubborn faders. Worn everyday 8 months and only soaked and not washed mine have started to get electric blue fades happening all over. The denim is my favorite (I waver between the 25 oz XHS and the 21 oz denim) because of how soft and shiny it is.

                            Both the 25 and 21 denim gets this softness and sheen that is really amazing. The 21oz denim is hands down the softest and most comfortable denim there is straight out of the gate. I think it is also the perfect weight. Not too heavy and not too thin. Also, all other denim feels puny and inadequate after living in 21oz or 25 oz Iron Heart for years on end.

                            The 18 oz denim fades ultra fast and is way more irregular in texture and is very hairy. It feels like an old soft flannel shirt over time and is very rigid when you first get it. It has the highest contrast in my opinion.

                            Usually the lighter the weight of the denim the faster it fades. But this also depends on how how much you wear it and wash it. Or not wash it. It also seems like the heavier, the softer in the end. @wdw

                                If you get it narrowed down to a pair you would like or can't make up you mind post in the random questions topic and we can help you decide. I think no matter what you'll be happy with what you get. I think the most important thing is finding the right cut and size for you. I'd be happy to offer advice on that too. @wdw
