On a different note, what is the verdict on best options for warm climates. I thought the 14oz would be a good option but it seems that the breathability of the 21oz may make it the superior pair of jeans to avoid sweaty stems.
Many find the 21oz perfectly doable in warm climates. It does breath better than the 14oz for sure. It is early days but I have a feeling that the 16oz slub may take the prize.
As for your fit, if they work at the waist, but are making stair climbing a challenge, they may be the wrong cut for you. Show us some pics though.

On the topic of weights, this'd probably be a good place to ask this vs the UHR Future Products thread — don't wanna make everybody excited by a new post when it's just a breathability question, haha.
So I didn't realize this, but the UHR is more hardcore than the XHS, apparently? If so, wow. I don't know if my nads can take it ::)

It is, yes. But it is also a very different denim.What makes it hardcore is the tightness of the weave. At 23oz it is heavy of course but it is the weave that makes it badass. And the mental fading

Thanks, guys. That's cool — I'm gonna have to think about it on these, because although I love the XHS, I think they might be about as far as I'm willing to go in terms of heaviness / lack of breathability. 21oz is my zone.
Fuck, the fades make it so tempting though haha. Been wanting to get my first 634s, so this'd probably be a good test for that little bit of extra room. We'll see.

Now what kind of talk is that

I know, I know, but MY LEGS DAMMIT

I've gone up and down the weight ladder with IH and others as low as 14oz and high as 23oz and really love 17-18oz most of all (18oz vintage from Iron Heart and 17oz LHT from Strike Gold being favorites, and I suspect the 17oz natural indigo/organic cotton from IH will wind up in the upper echelon too). But I am likely to wrestle with some UHRs when they drop.
-
TBH I probably will, too. The experiment seems too fun to resist.
I definitely think my faves have been 21oz in various flavors, but most of all OD. Also I LOVE my 666 in the older 18oz raw. I wish they were a size bigger but they're still damn comfortable and have a lot of great character.

So in many photos of the UK boonies there's not a power line to be seen. Are lines buried, even in the country?

aesthetics-a word unknown to US power company execs who would rather be boiled in transformer oil than make a decision based on beauty, of all things. ::)

Am I dreaming this up or did there used to be a forum thread or board in the Marketplace that was titled something like "Almost Free" or something like that?

Yes, there was (is)?
My question is, are the more complicated UHFs softer/downier compared to the less complex patterns like buffalo check? Just an observation from the shirts in my collection.

Thank you for confirming that I didn't dream this up. @neph93 or @Giles , can you help me locate the subject thread or board?
-
Thank you @Giles. I figured that might have been the case.

Wasn't sure where I should post this, as I didn't see a forum tech help thread — that said, might've totally overlooked it, so please feel free to point me there if I did!
Has anyone had a hard time with the way the forum threads PMs? Last night/this morning I got messages from three users about a pair of jeans I have posted for sale. They were all basically asking for measurements, so after replying to each, I went and measured, then wrote them all back again to let them know I'd updated the thread.
This is where it got messy — I responded in the wrong order, even accidentally responded to myself once. The problems is that when you click on a message, it doesn't open up that conversation, but rather just all of your conversations.
Needless to say, my convos with these people was a bit of a shitshow, and I'm sure I sounded like a crazy person.
Is there any way to reformat this on my end, like configuring view or something? Or is Tapatalk better? FWIW I pretty much mostly check the forum via my laptop browser.

Thanks @sabergirl — I imagine it's just a quirk of the forum software. I'll definitely have to be careful in the future, just wanna make sure if I have a few replies on an item, I give dibs to the person who got in contact first.
