IH-555SBR-14 - 14oz Broken Twill Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Autorotate]

How do you think these will breathe… say compared to 21oz, or the SLB which IMO is the most breathable?

[AdamJ]

@Autorotate these are coming soon, and I'm gonna get a pair instead of the standard 14oz! I'll let you know how breathable they are. I think slub is generally the winner in breathability terms tho

[Giles]

I am pretty sure these will not breathe particularly well, Haraki has tried to make the denim extremely dense, my guess is it actually weighs more than our standard RHT 14oz....

Is there a way to weigh the denim when it arrives to test this?

[Nik]

Great idea @Oaktavia I'll take it further - it would be interesting to see the weight of one pair compared between different fabrics but the same size and cut - maybe a 634 32 waist, and give total weight unhemmed of as many versions as possible to compare? @Giles @Alex this might be a fun way to show how IH products are unique, could even compare to a high street pair of jeans as a starting point? Understanding ounces per yard takes quite a bit of experience with different fabrics but once you know it is significant. I think it could help new customers understand the unique heft and soft wearability of IH.

I am interested!

The right leg has started to twist on mine after about a week. I thought being broken twill that wouldn't happen. I haven't washed them yet. Should I expect this?

@AdamJ said in IH-555SBR-14 - 14oz Broken Twill Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - Indigo:

The process of weaving fabric in this method sees the combination of both right hand twill (RHT) and left hand twill (LHT) reversed every two warp ends, forming a zigzag-like pattern in the denim and resulting in no bias in either direction of the weave, therefore eliminating leg twist.

@goldstone0 The product description indicates this should not happen. Have any photos that you could share?

[joephoto]

These are my current wear... loving them so far. I gave them an initial soak in the tub and noticed the fabric didn't soak easy. I had to force them under water to soak. So that might answer questions on how breathable they are. They are very comfortable right out of the box! I think very slow to give up indigo.

[goldstone0]

@goosehd Sorry, I just saw your reply. Here is a photo sat down (twisting is more pronounced sitting than standing).

[AdamJ]

Been wearing these since the Hamburg Party, 6 and a bit months, multiple washes

[goldstone0]

Multiple washes including after I sat in chocolate milk.

@goldstone0

Looking good, man. I have these in the 888 and I love them. As it warms up here they’ll be in my regular workwear rotation. Good stuff.

Just picked up a pair of these to replace my 777’s as too low for my small butt! Tried the 31” in rh twill and was an inch+ away from getting them done up yet these in 31” fit like a dream. Ended up with a broken twill in 666 cut indigo od 32” as could get the 555’s on! Awesome service at Gosport yet again

[Kathrynnaomi]

What should I expect in terms of shrinkage on this denim? I have a new pair and was wondering if a hot soak might tighten them up slightly?

[goosehd]

@Kathrynnaomi Sanforized and one-washed - little to no shrinkage to be expected.

You can find the information here: IH-555SBR-14 under the details tab.

[Kathrynnaomi]

@goosehd thanks.

[Gavin666]

@goldstone0 I have had exactly the same thing after a week on the right leg identical to yours. When i lay them flat though it has gone.
