@Nskelton:

Might order these as my "summer jean" in a few months time. Gain a rotation of 14,21 and 25oz.

Not that you shouldn’t, but many find 21oz easy to wear in the summer. Some say it is better than the 14oz because of the relatively loose weave

[Nskelton]

Yeah I found my 21oz pretty easy to wear this past August and pretty much the entire month was 90+. I mainly want an indigo/black, maybe the 19oz.

I totally agree with this. I wore my 21s all summer without any problem at all. It breathes well for as thick as it is.
Next one will be the Indigo Black as well–I am really digging how they fade, almost a purplish tone in the highlights.

One year old and just had their second proper wash.

I can safely say I’m converted when it comes to the 142 denim being an ‘everyday’ friendly material.

Coming along nicely!

love how roping tends to pop up after a first wash

^ they’re just covered in white dust 

Been wanting a pair of 14oz ib’s for summer (it could also be Giles recent 19oz ib update that tipped me over the edge) so picked these up in the 666 cut to keep the devil’s train going for when the 19oz LHT gets intolerable. I’m quite surprised how hot 19oz feels compared to XHS.

I was a bit worried after trying on the ib’s as they felt and looked bigger and baggier then the 2 other 666 pairs I own (IH-825 and 19oz LHT). There was severe bunching at the crotch and an unsightly diaper butt. Ended up spending an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out how to make these work (basically all weekend) playing with the rise. Finally found the sweet spot where they sit on the hips rather than hiking them up where the actual rise goes up to the waist which meant notching the belt tighter, hence all the extra denim bunching up with nowhere to go. Also found out these do have a tiny bit of shrink in them after a hot wash which was welcome. I’m over the moon that these worked out & excited to get some 14oz ib action going on

fit pics from today (w/3 days of wear already in the books) while waiting for cabinet delivery. The denim is also much darker than the pics depict.

@RoxRocks86 Jeans looks great! I just ordered the western shirt in this fabric and your photos get me stoked!!!

[RoxRocks86]

When does your shirt arrive @Oaktavia ? You’re gonna love everything about it - smooth hand of the denim, the fades!!!! Which looks better with each wash. Kinda reminds me of the wabash fabric in that sense.

Thanks for reminding me to wear these today

Super pic of your denim fades quasi blending in with your shirt @RoxRocks86 !

[Oaktavia]

@RoxRocks86 dang! That fit is chill and the fades are rad. Shirt arrives tomorrow. But I won't be home, first day of vacation 🥴

Good eye @motojobobo didn’t even catch how well the IHSH-277 blends in with the 142ib’s!

@Oaktavia ah that kinda blows! But hey at least the vacation party train will continue when you get home to rip open the bag, right?! Will you be bringing the 2 chicken nuggets home?!?!

Thanks @theorocks  Do you own any indigo/black denim? Cuz if not, you’re missing out! 

[Oaktavia]

@RoxRocks86 haha right?? Nuggets come home Aug 6th!
