IH-777S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo

[Giles]

Ah whoops, I thought you were talking about the Eco denim. My bad….

The 16oz is woven at a relatively low tension, which may explain why it does not feel as heavy as the 14oz, also the 142 has a double twisted weft, which probably contributes to the feeling of heft.

@xtcclassic:

This denim is certainly a lot more substantial and rigid than I expected. I’m sure they’ll break in and soften up in no time like the 21oz does, but I swear this denim feels at least as heavy as the 16oz Vintage does.

Agree with this 100%.  This is a positive thing IMO.

I really do love this denim. It occurred to me today that it doesn’t seem as much like a lighter version of the 21oz denim like I expected, but rather a lighter version of the 25oz. The weave is a little tighter like the 25oz, and therefore it’s a bit more rigid for a while and takes longer to break in than the 21oz. In short, it’s pretty awesome stuff. Go figure.

Do you find it stretches out/relaxes slower that the 21oz?

Definitely. The 142 denim seems to not have a lot of stretch. Huge difference compared to the 21oz.

I can confirm it is a tough beast despite being ''only'' 14 oz. Huge difference from the first iteration.

@neph93 I also agree with Dion and classic that the 14oz V 2.0 stretches out slower than the 21oz. It's not your typical 14oz but then I'm sure you already knew that.

[xtcclassic]

Is that some electric blue starting to peek through?    Can’t wait to see more of this.

Recently acquired from Iron Heart Forum »The Marketplace »Buying and Selling a pair of IH-777 142 jeans. I previously had 777's in 21oz but found them too tight in the thigh so thought I'd give the lighter weight version a try and so far so good 

[neph93]

Looking good. But then again, you always do.

Cheers Reuben, likewise.

I posted this in the wrong thread as the jeans are actually 777R-142

Wow that looks great! I'm hoping to acquire some 14oz denim this summer. Love that combo with the Engineer boots!
