Little update as I hit 83 wears today

@WhiskeySandwich awesome

Hey IH crew! I’m new to Iron Heart and the raw denim scene. Sounds like these won’t be coming back for awhile?
I’m in a predicament. My only pair are some Samurai 15oz S0510xx I’m currently fading. I was at my local denim shop (Black&Blue in MN) and saw the 14oz IB and loved the IB Fabric. Only problem is 14oz is close to the weight I have now and everyone says how special the 21oz is.
So… do I wait for the 21oz IB to come back or grab the 14oz IB? Or maybe grab some 21oz SBG or 21oz indigo while waiting for the IB to come back?
-
@Sody101 not sure how much luck you'll have in finding your size in the the 21ib but seeings how you live in the MN area and the XHSib (25 oz) release is right around the corner, I couldn't recommend this as your indigo/black pair enough.
-
Hmmm interesting. Do you know if the 25ounce is still as breathable as the 21? When is the 25 supposed to drop?
-
Thank you!
Random question: Any differences between the 21 ounce and 14 ounce fabric besides the weight? Looking to cop a pair for day to day wear, including office 1x day a week. Hardest wear would be my mile dog walk each day lol and strenuous days in the spreadsheets. Trying to decide 14oz IB, 21oz fade to grey, 21oz indigo.
-
@Sody101 the 21 oz is a little more breathable over the XHS but the XHS is shockingly comfortable once broken in (I wear mine year round in New England w exception to a couple weeks out of the year in the summer). I think most peoples hang up on the 25oz is that it sounds daunting but I feel most who take the plunge are glad they did

Lots of differences between the 14oz IB denim, the 21oz indigo and the 21oz SBG denim, if that's what you mean. Check out the pages here:

@flannel-slut thanks bud, I been working on putting more thought into pics and taking my time instead of just throwing stuff on the bed and snapping whatever.
-
@WhiskeySandwich cool as!
-
@WhiskeySandwich that’s looking very nice!
-
Yeah, just chiming in, finally took a few basic pics of different IH pairs. This one is special. Ultra soft and comfortable, great drape, and even early on, some hints of electric blue popping through. Stunning denim.
888 is the only thing I’ll wear now, as many weights and colors as I can afford while avoiding the quizzical “are those new?” look from my wife

@WhiskeySandwich said in IH-888S-21ib - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/Blk:

Still holding out on a wash?
-
@Oaktavia yup, 5 till I hit 100 and wash it. 15 on the SBG. So another couple weeks probably.
