      @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.

      Gracias amigo

      I guess I'll go:
      888xhs
      888 21oz
      888D

        @Oaktavia you must go back to school a bit later then me. Teacher work week starts 8/8 (ugh I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.) that’s rad you’re an art teacher! I work in a public school. Sometimes I look at my clothes and do a quick tally of what that days outfit cost and I feel a little guilty. Then I remember I EARNED every one of those dollars working with these maniacs!!

        In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

          My current rotation:

          634S 21oz
          666SII
          Imogene + Willie "Hank"
          Imogene + Willie "Willie"

          Come fall I'll throw the 666XHS into the mix. Have lots of other pairs of denim that I'll wear as well, but 9/10 times it's going to be that 634S. I've lost about 15-20 lbs in the last couple of months, so I've had to tuck some old favorites away, and will likely be selling a few pairs.

          Wants List:
          IHSH-20-Red, XL
          IHSH-208-Indigo Kersey, L-XL
          IHSH-254-Grey Kersey, L-XL
          IHSW-45 Black, M
          IH-526SV 21oz type III, 38 or 40
          IH-777S-SB size 32
          IH-777S-142 size 31 or 32
          IHJ-142-BLK or IND, M

            We go back on 8/10  😃 so 18 days still kind of sounds like a good amount.

            I do that too haha maniacs is an accurate term to describe public school students these days. I'm in an inner city school to- quite diverse and never a dull moment.

              @chrisjohnnick what do you think about those Imogene and Willies? Looks like they have some cool stuff. I buy my lady a lot of their woman’s clothes. Been curious about some of their mens clothes too.

                I'm in Nashville and have been wearing their stuff for years. I think they're mostly great, especially for a lighter weight for summer. They won't keep ya very warm in the cold, though. My favorite stuff of theirs was from about 2013-2015 or so, which most of my pairs are from. Basically anything with the orange and white selvedge stripes. I've probably had about 30-40 pairs of their pants at this point (local Buffalo Exchange always has them in for $30-$40 or so). I have lots of their other stuff, too, but most of it comes and goes as my tastes change.

                Goes without saying that none of their stuff compares to IH, though.

                  Samurai 18OZ for the colder months

                  Funny to see you write that!  I just picked up the Samurai 18oz Arakage and, sometimes, they feel warmer than my 25oz IH.  Is it just a tighter weave?  I'm new to the Samurai.

                    Don’t really have a rotation. I just go through phases of preferring certain cuts. Then I have older pairs and I might feel for them one day and give them a couple of wears.

                    I’m mostly wearing 634’s (including the 822), at the moment, plus my 463’s. My IH-666L-19 are my random old pair of choice. This fall and winter my UHR 1955’s (thank you @ROman), and incoming IH-666-UHR’s will see a lot of wear.

                        Currently rotating:

                        IH-888s-SLB (Slubby 888s) - 26 wear days, 1 wash
                        IH-888s-21 (21oz 888s) - 108 wear days, 1 wash
                        IH-888d (duck 888s) (casual office attire)
                        IH-731-KHA (12oz relaxed fit chinos) for 'smart casual', etc
                        UES Duck Shorts (when its too hot for trousers altogether)

                        I put the 21s on again when the slubbs needed a wash (it's been hot lately and they were a bit sweaty) and it was like putting on pyjamas they have adapted to me so well. I was like "aaaah, hello old friend".

                        Take the dive...

                            Just curious about how members with multiple pairs of jean rotate them in daily wear? Do you wear one pair for a few months at a time? A week? Rotate a pair every day?

                            I've got 3 pairs in my current rotation. Wearing 555-SBG's now. About to start wearing my XHS for the remainder of winter. I'm planning to go to my 555S-21od's once it starts to get a bit warmer out.

                              Current rotation, usually at least once every couple of weeks for each.

                              633s SBG 21oz
                              633s 21oz
                              633n 17oz
                              633od 18oz
                              Grease Point Work Jean 15oz

                              I guess I really enjoy the 633 cut from Selfedge.  The 18oz OD's need to be repaired, but will re-enter the rotation shortly.  Otherwise, the SBG have been seen the most action as of late.  I really need to get on the XHS train, but I keep missing out on the 633 size 34.

                                • Iron Heart 721-BLK Chinos

                                  I have one pair of Blackhorse Lane Atelier jeans in rotation, not including my black Uniqlo for a few hours of corporate work a week. But this forum is tempting me!

                                  In an effort to have less clothes I've started buying lots of them

                                        I'm really more interested in black denim these days. No matter what I wear it matches black denim so it's made life easier.
