Still need mine hemmed. But, summer is almost here and I may be switching to shorts soon enough

I'm hoping a pair of these is still available in my size come fall/winter. I have to prioritize and allocate clothing expenses to summer gear for now.

I really need to get my pair hemmed.

@Dion Thanks. This denim doesn’t get a whole lot of attention/love. It’s really cool. Don’t know if the brown weft scares people off. For what it’s worth I’ve been wearing them all summer in NYC humidity with no problem. They definitely rival the 21OZ for breathability,and softness. Wish I could have a CPO out of this denim.

Been shopping for an upcoming fall/winter pair of jeans and I thought I had decided on the 17oz natural Indigo fabric but then I remembered these….this fabric and cut just looks so damn good. Decision time.
-
In my opinion the 17OZ denim isn’t in the same league as these,and I have both.
I realize they are two different animals, but why do you say that?

This is just my 2 cents,and your mileage may vary. I think it’s a much more comfortable,flexible,breathable fabric. Had no problem wearing it through a humid NYC summer. Love the way it’s starting to fade,and the cut looks great with boots or sneakers. At the end of the day all of this stuff would go out the window if I didn’t like the way they looked on me. It’s close to the 21OZ in feel. I got zero stretch out of the 17OZ,after putting in 135 days. They were never all that comfortable. Being a 555 cut they looked OK on me. Haven’t worn them in a while,been thinking about trying to sell them.

I've said this before but this is my only pair of IH denim and the fit is great, even though I haven't worn them but only tried on. I have a size 34 from the first run that I got on the B/S/T forum and the measurements are similar to the 777 cut IMO. But, I think that's because most of the shrink is out of the fabric. I checked the measurements from the current run and it looks like maybe it was tweaked a little, so the previous measurements for a 34 appear close to the current size 33. But, take my comment with a grain of salt because i'm usually wrong about these things
Either way, I don't think you can go wrong with this denim. The turquoise W and brown weft are pretty cool too.
Which reminds me, that 22oz pronto type III sample that @Giles posted looks dope as hell. Cool to see it in a one wash and unwashed version.

@Jett129, @gaseousclay, thank you very much for the input.

Any updated fade pics? I am contemplating picking up a pair..

I’m 15 days in to a new pair so can’t really help. One thing I will say is that after 15 days of regular wear (high school job) the creases have set very nicely and elctric blue is showing in the honeycombs already. There are nice white spots already showing on pocket corners, belt loops etc. Fade potential seems promising.
