IH-634S-142ib - 14oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black

I must say that what you are doing with the perfectly hemmed jeans shots is brilliant, they look proper every time

Just picked these up. The measurements on this flavor of 634 is perfect for me due to the slightly roomier thigh. Can't wait to see how they will age with the indigo warp & black weft. Should be very cool. I wonder if anyone has a broken-in pair of 142ib denim yet as I'm curious what to expect. Although at the same time, it's somewhat nice not knowing and seeing the evolution as it comes.

The rate at which denim fades largely depends on the friction/abrasion the fabric is subjected too. Some jeans produce more contrast due to the colour etc, as you can see from Giles' pair these ones look pretty awesome once you beat them up.
I have a particular problem of late, reading companies advertise 'BUILT TO FADE' or 'DESIGNED TO FADE'
If you wear them, they will come

@gosha Adam is right… some denim may give up its indigo quicker than others. But it is the kind of lifestyle you lead while wearing them that really decides how quickly they fade and what patterns you get.
A denim that is allegedly designed to fade quickly won’t fade very quickly at all if you just sit on the sofa, while a denim that is somewhat stubborn (like the Iron Heart 21oz) will fade very quickly if you are climbing trees, working construction or skateboarding in them.
My advice would be to buy the denim you like the look and feel off and wear them a lot. The fades will take care if themselves, and will represent the life you live.

Thanks for the answer. @neph93 @AdamJ. I understand. I walk 8-10 km a day 4 days a week. I have a couple of PIH5DCS, and 634-17 duck indigo and they do a quick faders. For six months, I got a great result. I also have 634-21 they are slightly slower, but the result also suits me. But I also have Momo and they upset me. They are very slow, although my movement has not changed. The same rate. But the result is much worse

Oh no! It's all right!
I wear XHS in winter, 634-21, 888-21 in spring and autumn. Would like to take jeans for summer 14 oz with my old TCB50 Ah…. I was about to suggest the 22oz Pronto denim. The straight cut version is available via The Outlet. Amazing denim and fades beautifully. It does breathe quite well but may be a little warm for a summer jean, depending where you are.

Teaser of how this denim fades (note this is the 19ozib, not 14ozib, but contrast of fades will be consistent):
-
@kornnn they look to be fairly similar, however the 14oz has a slightly lower rear rise which you may notice. The waist, thigh and knee also look like they could be slightly snugger, however I would guess given the difference in weight of material (and disclaimer, I've never had the 14oz), at least some of the difference in measurements would come down to the thickness of material. I can't comment on the difference in stretch having never owned a pair, but in summary, I would guess they will fit pretty similarly
