IH-777S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Just got my pair of 34's in yesterday. Got lucky on a +1 inventory re-up after initially hesitating. Man, this stuff is a different beast! Way more character than I expected, but it's not shouty. Feels surprisingly light for my first experience with 18oz. I'd say about on par with IH 14oz, which feels more substantial than other 14oz, but the 18oz seems more breathable. It might just be the perfect year-round weight:breathability ratio. It's substantial but doesn't feel at all stifling. It's definitely rigid and has a ton of texture, but it's not rough or scratchy. I did a fit check and gave em a pre-soak - I always do this and put them on damp to set the form/wrinkles, definitely helps me with comfort, but just my personal take. The measurements are about as close to perfect as I could hope for, keeping the belt tight though to avoid any waist over-stretch. Will probably throw up some pics once they see some use!

@WhiskeySandwich your take on the 18oz vintage is spot on. You don’t know what it has to offer till you unravel the parcel that it’s wrapped up in. Happy wearing!

@RoxRocks86 Thanks! I'm going to be hard pressed to rotate anything else, even my new-ish 142bb! How are yours coming along?

Guys, is there a plan to replenish these soon? Thanks.

@october-rust Thanks! The measurements on this pair are super comfortable for me, I was glad the waist and hem were smaller than a usual 34 but plenty of room in the hip. A bit different from my 14oz black/blacks, which are a tad slimmer, but it makes for a good 'rockstar fit', which works well in black I think.

They’re coming along slowly. Used for more casual wear than anything else, so just some whiskers and combs atm

@WhiskeySandwich The 18oz vintage is my favourite IH denim and can wear it year round. Jeans are starting to look really good!
