IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
It just seems like something that would fly off the shelves…
This OG version of the 18oz is old school. Nearly as old as the 21oz. It was what the first iteration of the 666 cut was made out of I believe. So it has been used a lot previously and has sold well.
I can advocate for the new «vintage style» 18oz though. I’ve owned both, and the OG stuff is very nice but the new stuff is super lovely. Hairy and a great shade of indigo, it fades quickly, more like the UHR but breathes well too.

+1 - the vintage 18oz is REALLY awesome [emoji41]

It's different enough from the OG 18oz to justify owning both, for sure. Both are great fabrics as pretty much every IH denim is.

You’re right on that, tons of great fabrics to choose from. The only problem is sizing. I’m outta luck on the cuts for the 18 oz. vintage, but that just means more wear time for the OG 18s

Have you checked out SelfEdge yet? They have their own IH cut, the 633, and it's available in the 18oz vintage fabric among several others. It basically has the top block of a 634 but then tapers down to a smaller hem. It's a good cut, might be one to try out in the future.

@RoxRocks86 we have a 555 cut in vintage 16oz denim dropping this Spring Summer too..

Edit: 7 months. Haven't washed em yet. These things are stubborn as hell, but also durable as hell. No signs of damage yet, despite quite a bit of pretty intense activity in them. Think they are really starting to get interesting in person, but they're not quite photographing as well yet.
Not sure what happened here:

Thanks. I don't feel like they quite need one yet, so I'll just keep chugging along until they do. I'm not really sure how they manage to still look OK, filth wise, at this point.

This ^^ ?
