IH-666S-16 - 16oz Vintage Selvedge Slim Straight Cut

[IH-GARY]

I'd agree with the previous comments, the 666 16oz vintage breathes better than the old 777 14oz - but as the denim fades the 16oz vintage has a bit more character. For now the 16oz is the favourite in my collection.

I'm on an IH Learning Curve.  Appreciate all the help.
The great master of cool, none other than Steve McQueen in The Sand Pebbles gets it right: "Shoot something!"

Grateful for the responses here comparing the 16oz and 18oz Vintage with the new 142.  (As soon as the new moleskin CPO goes live, I'll shoot for something…)

Is it 16oz season already?

I was waiting and hoping the 16 oz vintage would come out in the 888 cut but it didn’t happen.  I’m assuming the 16 oz didn’t sell great since most people either went with the 14 oz or 18 oz instead.  Just picked up the 16 oz from the outlet and I’m loving the denim so far.  Substantial denim as expected from IH but breathes well. Highly recommended.

I agree. I have the 142 denim, and also had the 18oz vintage denim, and I might like the 16oz better than either of those. They’re all great, but the 16oz is so much cooler in hot weather, and just has an overall different look than other IH denim (except for the 18oz vintage of course, but even that is a bit different). It’s a shame it didn’t sell well.

I’m sad I missed this denim. Unlike Pokemon, you can’t catch them all…

Just me hangin’ by myself in this thread lol.

I have the 555 in this denim and to this day regret not picking up some 16oz 666 for backup. I think it's the best denim for hot weather.

xtcclassic, those look great. Nice fit.
