IH-555S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Slim Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Ah thank you so much. I started reading about the 14oz jackets to glean some info. I do have a pair of 21oz (no lot) so that should be better in warmer weather than 14oz. I just happened to see a picture of the 14oz indigo and the color looked different than my 25oz and I got curious. I'm learning a lot. You are quite knowledgeable about the world of IH.

@GardenState I have a pair of the 14oz in the 555 cut (on left) and 21oz, in the 777 cut (the 14oz I have had probably 6 months longer), and if I'm honest I havent really noticed any difference when I wear them in the summer from a breathability aspect - the tighter weave counter balances the denim weight - but the 14oz I do find a bit more comfortable in the summer to move around in (cycling etc) which you tend to do as you are out and about more. I find also the 14oz denim is a bit more electric blue in colour. Hope this helps!

Hey, really appreciate this too. Giles should have a referral program lol. I may pull the trigger on a pair of 14 Oz. I have systematically replaced my pants with Iron Heart pants. I just like the feel of the fabric. And it seems more quality than some other popular brands (some of which feel downright cheap in comparison). I mean come on if the pants are 300 plus the pockets should be lined. One of my favorite details about IH (that and the "W")
Nevertheless, I really appreciate the side by side. The internet is pretty limiting in what you can see and assess.

He's in the marketing department, so if he was not good at it, he wouldn't be there

@GardenState piqued my interest in how it can be difficult to appreciate 'how it fades' (aside from seeing various old pairs) so Steve and I got some shots of his 555S-142 (these were the first sample)
-
Those look great, @AdamJ. Tempts me to snag my fave cut (634) in the 14oz denim…
-
@AdamJ Thats awesome. It piqued my interest as well. Maybe other people will also see the great colors achievable in this weight. Lightweight has a use after all.

I really like the rise of the 555 but the legs are very tight.
Will the thighs stretch much or should I go with a different cut ? -

Thanks man.

I decided to get a pair of these for the summer/autumn. Any comments on the fit would be appreciated.
-
Fit looks great. I don’t see anything I could criticize.
-
Thanks guys.
They're tighter than I'm used to around the waist and thighs but I think they should be just right after a few weeks' worth of wear. I think the size and cut look good so I'm hoping they work out for me.
