How many jeans/ pants in your rotation??

[Paul9221]

Oooh, good thread!

I've got the following on steady rotation:

• IH-888XHS

• IH-888XHSbb

• IH-888d

• Samurai S520XX18oz-SB Arakage

• Orslow slim fatigue pants

And once a week, I hike in my Pronto x Iron Heart PIH15AN.

The 888XHS and Samurai S520XX18oz get the most love, but they all have a great spot in the wardrobe.

I have several pairs on consistent rotation at this point—too many to really see results.

463 get the most, because the fit is golden.
777D
801 black
814
814blk
888SST
816 navy duck
PIHDCT

There’s some other pairs kicking around that see wear occasionally, and other brands almost never that I don’t part with. Needless to say, I have a big closet. Not a [mention]ROman [/mention] level closet…but still

@ROman doesn’t have a closet, it’s an archive.

I’m currently going to my summer weight 888 Eco selvedge.  When I find myself suffering from single pair fatigue it swap them out for my Pronto slubs, Beatle Busters, 777D and 777SBG. When the weather turns I’ll get back into my DR cargos.

I’m definitely getting the Anniversry jeans in September and am on the fence about some UHR.  In the past year I sold off some UHR, XHS and 18oz double indigo all with the intention of replacing with newer models.

My summer jeans typically get the most consistent wear because I usually  have fewer pairs of light weight jeans.  My TW666 were faded pretty good.  Sold them too.

@ROman Museum level archive that I think most of us would love to spend a day in.

@Matt How are the heat levels there and can you still wear the 25oz. and UHR’s?

Nicely said.

Another interesting idea. I was trying to think how to reply to the original subject, about rotation. Now I'm at a loss for words.

@goosehd the heat is currently on par with the rest of the world.  That is to say hot and muggy.  It’s usually very dry here and pleasant in the shade and at night but we’re having a pretty active monsoon season so it’s much more humid than usual.  Fall, winter and spring are no problem at all for XHS and UHR.

For those of you who live in the warmer/muggier places in the world (ie. southern USA), what jeans do you like for the summer months?  Does not have to be IH.

[Dmart]

I have mainly 4 pairs in rotation. 14,21,25 and UHR. During summer my main pair is the 14oz which I really love. In addition a couple of chinos for the office.
During the other three season I really rotate regularly.
I always love to have a nice crisp fresh unfaded pair available

[Giles]

Currently, IH-666S-SLB… End of.....

[jerkules]

Try to keep it simple: 1 indigo, 1 black, and one non-denim pair.

Once a pair gets super faded to the point it feels scruffy for work, I tend to move on and replace.

[Kasi]

Don’t know where to start or finish…

Currently am abusing the 666 XHS
for the last 4 months

On weekends grab a random pair,
To many to chosen from.

@ROman When I think of denim collections, two people come to mind…you and Ruedi (aka Swiss Jeans Freak).  I’m sure that there are more out there, but you two make me see the love of denim and history side of the equation.

I mean this as a sincere compliment!

my 1st pr ih666xhs is my goto year round. pihxhs for dinners/dates/office days when i have to work with the executives.  ih555xhsbb’s as well and trying for them to become my “goto” pr. all are too big due to the weight i've lost.  my other pr’s get worn minimally.

these days and working remote, i mainly wear basketball shorts, t’s, and flip flops.

I’m in the Midwest US and it gets plenty sticky here. I actually prefer my 18oz vintage over my 14oz because I feel like they breath a little better despite being “heavier”. Love both but I wear the 18’s the most.

Do you notice a big difference between the 18oz and the 21oz?

[Fadez]

I’ve got 4 jeans I’m wearing currently-ish. 2 are for warmer months and 2 are for coolers. What I do is wear a main pair to beat up and wash/wear hard. And the other one is a good supplement for evenings out or wearing while the other is drying.

Summer:
Pronto Collab Slubbies
IHDR Collab 14oz iB

Winter:
634UHR
634XHSod

Want to eventually do some SBG some justice, I’ve never sized correctly on the jeans I’ve purchased in the past.

[SKT]

@bizbuzz To me, the 21’s feel “heavier” but are just as breathable as the 18’s. I think most would agree that the 21’s are amazingly breathable for being that heavy.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Here's my current rotation and probably will be for a long ass time.

805
Pronto slubs
634S-21L
FGL-19L

This is one of my favorite denim related conversations to have and enjoy reading/commenting when it comes up.

My current summer jeans are 555S-SLB which is my only "lighter" pair of denim. Unless it is over 90F in which case I've been wearing my easy sorts this season. I used to only wear denim bottoms, even when it was muggy and hot as hell, but I don't anymore. It just doesn't seem worth it to me.

Late August-June I work indoors with much better AC than my house so I try to stick to one pair mostly. That one being my main pair that I wear M/W/F and weekends while wearing others on T/T. Usually I stick to a pattern like that, or something similar. That way, my main pair actually sees fading progress and at the same time I still get to wear other jeans and not look like a teacher that wears the same jeans everyday.

My main pair this season will either by my new 634XHS or my new 777S-21ib- both of which are on ice. I'm just not sure which one I want to see progress on (suggestions?) On days I don't wear my main will a random pair that I don't expect much of any further progress, my 805, 666UHR, 777XHSbb, or 777XHSib…and a few times a year I wear my 555S-21.

Somehow it ended up being kind of complicated. I'm not sure why, but it makes sense to me, as I hope it does to anyone who read this far.
