      Nope, the IHSH-177 and 178 are made from the OG 18oz.

      So Neph, you were before your time  🙂

      That makes more sense as the vintage 18oz is a lot more forgiving than the og version.  It also makes me getting my hands on a 178 even more of a prerogative.

        Just to quote myself, it would carry on a fine tradition of me fucking up on OD CPO’s if I didn’t get a 178. I managed to fail on numerous occasions to get my hands on a 99 as well… maybe I should just wait for the new version. The vintage 18oz is wonderful stuff and I suspect the shirt would be a very different and quite unique beast when compared to its predecessors.

          Ha, that's pretty interesting — I'll have to compare my OG 666s with the 178 when I get back home. I love em both, just for some reason the CPO always seemed much stouter to me, so I like said I guessed the stiffness came from that dyeing process, in the sense that denim often stiffens up quite a bit after a wash.

          In general I wear the jeans and wash them a whole lot more than the CPO though, due to the fact that we pretty much get hardly any real winter here, so the jeans have likely just broken in a lot more.

            I have the 177 and the 555-02 in the same denim except for the fact the shirt’s been one washed, and it definitely feels like the shirt is heavier/thicker or more stout as you described it.

              I’m thinking seams play a role in this. Lots of heavy seams on a shirt. Type III’s do the same.

                I’m talking about the fact that the actual fabric feels more substantial on the shirt than the jeans. I’m sure it’s just my imagination.

                  Could be something to do with the way the the fugitive dye saturates the fabric. I think I know what you mean. My od’ed 21oz Type III feels heavier and thicker to the hand than standard 21oz. I do love all these odd deviations and mysteries with these fabrics.

                        I only have the 666-21s and I think they are my jam.

                          I just read the measurements and am afraid the thighs might be too tight but I tried them on and compared them to the 777 od

                            Impatiently awaiting a restock on these… I wonder if the mainstream trend back to wider lower legs (ie boot cut) will see the 666 cut doing well? I have 2 pairs of 666, and I love that wider look whilst retaining the slim top-block. I think paradoxically it suits skinny legs, alleviating the 'tuning fork' look.

                            Anyhoo, just drooling out loud anticiping an OD pair.

                              I've had a pair for a couple of weeks. I could potentially  have sized down, they're a bit roomier than my 21 indigo 666 with some stretch to come. I hope I don't end up with too much slop in the top box (so to speak), but I'm actually liking the slightly looser look. OD is the business as usual! I'm hoping they don't lose the black too quick, although the bluish tinge is clear here against the real black of the chino type 2. Love 'em, just got my fingers crossed on the settling-in.

                                I they never go truly blue. Even well faded pairs still look like they were black jeans once.

                                I honestly can’t see how you would want them any looser! It is a great fit. Well done. I think there is a lot to be said for comfort. I also enjoy having pairs that a are a little more relaxed than others.

                                I’ll also add that after two weeks wear, there shouldn’t be much more stretch left.

                                  Thanks @neph93 it's funny, I'm so used to snug-fitting jeans that any looseness feels much more pronounced than it actually looks. I feel weirdly exposed in anything baggy, fuck knows how I survived the 90s.

                                    True news. Here my 21oz OD after more than 7 years, 1000+ wears. This is as blue as I can make them look.

                                      Haha… I survived the 90’s by ignoring the whole baggy thing entirely.

                                          Looking more closely, i think triple 6 will be way better fit then 555s.
