Is yours an Indigo Black lefty?
I see a 14oz version but not a 19oz versionMy Lefty 19oz is not indigo/black but 14oz western is.

Would you rather get the 21oz modified or the 19oz lefty od?
While both being denim type III’s there are a lot of things separating these jackets.
The colour being one. The overdyed presents as matt black/charcoal while the standard 21oz is indigo. Some people avoid the double indigo thing, some people embrace it.
I would say that weight wise they both feel heavy, you can’t pick the 2oz difference. However the 19oz is a lot more gnarly, while the 21oz forms beautifully and quickly. If you check the measurments, I think you will also find that that they fit a little differently. The chest is narrower on the 19oz and the body a little longer. I’m going from memory here, so I may be mistaken.

Hi all, checking in from the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. I’ve just taken the plunge on a couple of pairs of IH jeans (777 21oz and 888 21oz overdyed) after sitting on the fence for a (very) long time - after wearing the 777s exclusively for the week I’m really glad that I did!
Welcome! Two cracking examples to start off with.

Hej everyone,
greetings from Zagreb, Croatia.
it's a bit cold, grey and gloomy last couple of days, but hey, it can always get worse
i was recently introduced to IH products by a work colleague, and picked up 777s in 19ib. beautiful stuff. on my wishlist is a pair of 21oz 888s (fade to grey fit my measures perfectly, but thinking about indigo's as well), and IHJ-95-BLK.
have to say this forum is super useful for us that can't try all these nice products, and boy - this community here helps.
kudos to everyone. -

Hello everyone, I live in Southeast Tennessee, USA. Happy to be here and I am just beginning to look around in the forums.

Hey, long-time lurker here. I live in Western Oregon and am an author.
My first foray into IH was a pair of 666-XHS a couple of years ago. I loved everything about the jeans except the cut, which I merely liked, and the lack of breathability. Due to the latter issue, I sold them. I came back to IH this summer when I picked up a pair of 777S-21od during the summer sale. Began wearing them a couple of months ago and, wow, I really love the 21 oz denim and the 777 cut. I liked that pair so much that I snagged a pair of the standard model 777S-21 for the upcoming Indigo Invitational, and also have a pair of 777S-142bb on the way. Super-excited to fade those.

Welcome! Quite a few Oregonians around the forum.

Oregon is a good jeans-wearing state. Winters are cool and rainy, and the humidity makes the air feel colder than it actually is. Summers are hot and dry, and it's much easier to wear jeans in dry heat than in humid heat. I wore my 12 oz Sugar Canes when it was 111 F (44 C) this past June and felt OK in them, provided that I didn't stray from the shade.

Hello all - finally jumped into the forum after buying a couple items this year (finally).
Got the IHM-35-BLK and IHTL-1213-BLK. Took me a bit to get the sizing down but I think I'm about dialed in finally.

Welcome! Great gear to start with. Any jeans on the horizon?

I wish.
Unfortunately IH top blocks don’t work with my sizing.
Graham and I were sending packages back and forth for about a month but nothing worked. Ended up finding another brand that works beautifully for linebacker sized men -
Good afternoon all, EdH here. I live in Gloucestershire, UK, but have lived in Leamington Spa, Coventry, Guildford, Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the UAE and Muscat in Oman. Got family in the UAE, USA and UK.
My only IH purchase to date is a IHSH-312-IND but I am looking for an excuse to get some denim. Intending to lose some weight around my middle this year - aren't we all in January? - which may provide a good reason for a little wardrobe refresh. I will need to try them on in person though as I powerlift so I need a roomy top block and thighs to accommodate my oversized butt. Also need to let the wallet recover from Christmas, so plenty of time to figure out why the wife and I need to travel to Portsmouth, London or Manchester and, hey, while we're here we can just swing by a store I want to pop into real quick…
Look forward to getting involved.

@EdH:
Look forward to getting involved.
Good to have you here! 888 cut will be the place to start, the 1955 and 634 are other options depending on your waist/thigh ratio. There are some lufters who can get into 777’s too. Of course, personal taste plays a role.
While I understand the desire to try in person, IH (and the forum), have a lot of competence in finding the right fit for folks. In addition next day delivery and free returns in the UK make life easier.

Grüezi from Lake Lucerne. I am quite often in Berne for business! I love the Aare river.
