      LHT vs RHT over time?

      Hello,
      Looking for my first pair of quality jeans which took me to Iron Heart. Kind of overwhelming at first but think I narrowed down to 666 19oz LHT or 666 18oz vintage (I hitch I assume is RHT?). I need a little help deciding between the two. I’ve read that LHT tends to be a little softer but not sure how noticeable that is. I think I’m more concerned with how they will look as they fade and age. Any advice or comparison pics over time would be very appreciated!

      Thanks!

        you find everything you are looking for in the specific threads 😉
        there is one for every cut and kind of denim. You can find the link on the product page .
        from my experience the 19oz LHT is not softer than the 18oz . the only LHT that gets really soft is the 21oz lht .
        if you want it really soft , take 21oz 😉

          @RazorD Welcome!

          The 19oz Left Hand Twill is significantly more rigid than the 18oz Vintage denim. Having worn both, I can say that the 19oz LHT takes longer to break in and soften up. Both are capable of producing great fades, but this depends on a number of factors, such as how long/frequently you wear them.

          There are a number of fade examples of these denims on the forum. A couple of good examples are:

          The IH-526L thread here whilst not jeans, it's the same denim and some great examples of the fades in there.

          Giles old 18oz pair are in the Hall of Fades here as well as some great examples in this thread

          The devil is in the detail..

            Thanks. Tbh, I don’t really care about the difference in softeners. More interested in how it looks over time and everything I read just showed me close up pattern explanations (very interesting but not helpful for what I wanted to know). I’ll look at those pages. Thank you!

              So now that I've narrowed my search, is there a rough idea how often the items listed as "CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION" will update inventory?

                @RazorD No, they will all come back in at certain points, but your best bet is to ask us if we have X model in production, and we can give you an ETA

                  @AdamJ Thanks. IH-666S-18, IH-666S-21 and IH-666N are the 3 I'm seeking the most. Would you have a general ETA on those by chance?

                        Fall Restock?

                        Apologies if this is the incorrect place for this, can someone point me to when the latest restock will drop? There are a lot of sizes missing from current inventory.

                        Thanks

                          Of what?

                          But in general, we do not publish restock info until very close to the drop date, because there are so many variables. You can ask specific questions in the relevant product thread, but you'll likely get unspecific answers.

                            Hmmm…did this sailor sell me my favorite white shirt (IHSH 172 white) made from the offcuts of his bedspread?

                                          @endo Personal favourite for drip is Moccamaster, tried and true. Plenty other good choices as well though, Wilfa has some nice options for instance.

                                          I'm a bit of a coffee geek and typically do a pour over every day, but drip is certainly more practical for most.

                                            Thanks guys @Karol and @JunkPants! At home I also do pour over, but at work we need an easy-to-use machine. Guess I will go for the Mocca master, heard so many good things about it.
