With the large waist, these will be my dialy summer jeans and perfect for concealed carry. Glad to have this, my 18oz vintage, 14oz OD and my LF 10oz ducks for hot ass, sticky summer weather. Want to wear these hard this year.

@Dion:

But isn't that a bit of an overkill having 16 and 18 oz vintage denims which are almost identical?

Having had the 18oz Vintage and now having the 16oz Vintage there is definitely enough difference to justify both. The 16oz gets much softer much quicker than the 18oz Vintage (I’ve worn my 16oz 666’s less than 3 full days and they are MUCH softer already than my 18oz were after 30 wears. The 16oz seems to have a bit less character as well, not in a bad or boring way, it’s just less slubby than my 18oz Vintage 666’s were. I could definitely see myself justifying having both.

Love the shot with the chair,that chair couldn’t possibly be any more perfect for setting off the jeans in the dark corner shot.

Chair was rubbish tip find

[Jett129]

Sometimes those are the best,I’d want to just photograph the chair. It’s so cool looking.

Who are you thinking of? The guy in the pictures sitting in the stool?

If so it is Sam and his vitals are tool tipped on the product page….

I just got a pair of these in 38 and they fit perfectly. Can't wait to rock them once I get them hemmed a couple inches. It's shocking how light they feel after wearing my 21 oz 301s for the past month. Perfect warm weather jeans.

[neph93]

Good man. Be good to hear how this denim operates in the real world.

[Kingmob31]

Any wear pics?

About to give mine their first wash after a few months.

[Palmer]

Fades are starting to show after the washing these for the first time.

Nice! Shame I never got to try this denim…

The denim is a really unique shade of blue and they're easily the most breathable pair of jeans I currently own. The little bits of vertical lines coming in are my favorite aspect of the fades so far. I'll be sad when it gets cooler and I switch to heavier weight denim. These are THE summer pair of Iron Heart, in my opinion.

Yup, this is shaping up to be one of my favorite IH fabrics. I liked my 666 so much I ended up getting a pair of these when they hit the outlet even though tapered cuts usually aren't my thing. I have to wonder why it didn't find much traction.

I have to wonder why it didn't find much traction.

Especially since it’s really the only IH denim that’s comfortable above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. I wish I had bought a backup pair of 666’s.

Figure I'd contribute to the forum rather than just asking for advice. Here's my pair which I've worn pretty much solid Mon-Fri since Mar/Apr of this year. 3-4 washes, no soaks.

Terrible pic, sorry. Will try and get a better one soon.
