@RoxRocks86:

In w/the new out w/the old. Gotta check out the vintage 18 oz. thread to see what’s up!

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.

[RoxRocks86]

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..

[RoxRocks86]

Shoot the top block for the 633 cut won’t work either, but thanks for the suggestion @manufc10.

Thanks for the heads up @Alex. Hoping the size goes down to 26 *fingers crossed

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:

They’re looking good. I suspect a wash will make a difference.

[cander49]

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.

I wonder how long till this knee blows? I'm looking forward to fixing it though.
These were my first ever IH jeans so I'll repair them until they disintegrate.

Great work, @Sam! Is this still a 31?

[Sam]

It is @Dion

After these are gone are you going to make the 555 series in the new vintage 18oz denim?

Interesting question. It’s great denim.

[jules]

This ^^ ?

[Alex]

Sounds like a sensible idea

Is this 18oz denim the same stuff as my IH beatle busters 18oz that I have from 6 years ago or whenever it was.

Or is the version I have extinct ?

Beatle Busters are extinct, this is the same denim but it will soon be extinct.

Thanks, you are a handy guy to have around and very knowledgeable 

I really liked that denim even though I have not worn them more than a few times.

I was saving them for something but I don't know why. Mystery
