IH-666S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I posted over on the thread about IH-666S-16 - 16oz Vintage Selvedge asking if anyone has yet experience with 16oz in comparison to this new 14oz. I'm looking for a pair to soften up and wear hard in hot weather, so breathability and I might like to try to accelerate a fade. TIA, Iron Hearts yo.

Those look great!

Anyone got any noticeable fades on the 142 denim? I’d love to see how they fade, god knows it’ll be a couple years before I see any significant fades on mine.

Hey all,
Looking for some advice on overall fit of 666, this denim in particular as they should be really good for warmer months. Really looking for that pair to wear into the ground for 2-3 years.
I have a pair of IH-555-01 21oz and they’re pretty well amazing, about a year of wear on them. Unfortunately I have to say they’re a tad slim for me now. They still fit fine, but in general I want a bit more space around the thighs in particular.
I’ve measured up these in comparison as I should, it looks like the thighs are pretty much the same if not slimmer than the 555, is that correct? I can tell these are less tapered than the 555s, is that the main difference?
Also, I assume the 21oz are going to have less “space” in comparison to these because on them being double the weight? Would really appreciate some advice here, if there’s another fit that may work for this it would be great to know.
Cheers

Full details of all the cuts and visual comparisons can be seen here:
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/our-cuts-jeansIn short, the entire top block will be slimmer in the 666 than the 555, but there is significantly less taper. The thigh is similar between the two when you compare actual waist to actual waist rather than tag size. Take a look here:

I personally dont find that denim weight makes a difference to the way the jeans fit other than the fact they have a different feel to them and therefore feel different on the legs and mould to the body differently / more or less quickly.

@JackSyd as mentioned the top block of the 666 is trimmer than the 555 with a lower rise. The thighs are often slimmer too. So you may want to consider sizing up. If you want something with a little more room than the 555 I’d look at the 888.
As @Alex says, the thickness and weight of the denim doesn’t really play much of a role in sizing.

I've looked into it more and think the 666 could be a good option for me still, I'm slowly moving away from the slimmest jeans. If these are hemmed to the right length they always look great without being too bulky with extra folds. Thats just my opinion
I wanted to see if this denim takes the same amount of time to fade as the 21oz?
I've got 200+ days wear on the 555 21oz and they're only really now showing whiskers and fading.
Cheers
