THIS OR THAT?

[Matt]

I could have sworn there was a thread like this but neither Dennis nor I could find it.

Of you know where it is let us know and he’ll merge topics.

So… I’m in the market for some summer jeans and I’m having trouble deciding between indigo broken twill and od 14 oz. 888 will be the fit. Don’t have any jeans in either material. I’m leaning towards the broken twill because it’s something different and I may want a heavier od option later on. I don’t want the od broken twill because I’d want to really enjoy the weft detail and I feel it would get lost if overdyed.

Let me know what you think. Don’t say both.

one vote for the Broken Twill just because they arent black for summer. Also the BR feels pretty nice and is unique. Otherwise, if you dont own them, the slub is nice in summer.

[Matt]

Thanks. I wore slub all last summer so I’m looking for something new. One vote for bt. ️

[jordanscollected]

I have owned the 634 14 oz broken twill since last September and I wear them the most of all my IH denim.

Part is because the waist fits me 10/10 perfect, but they are super easy wearing. Light weight yet they still ooze quality and durability. They have a really nice hand that’s different than a regular twill and it gives you yet another solid, not at all weird, reason to rub your own pants.

They are almost too easy to wear, and for that reason I just toss em on, apologize to my other pants, and get on with my day.

I haven’t worn them in the summer months yet but I’m assuming the lighter weight paired with the straight cut will make them more manageable than my slimmer pants.

Just got a pair of BT. Haven’t had time to post about em yet but absolutely love the denim. Gonna wear all summer. Get some for sure.

[sabergirl]

Another vote for broken twill here! I’ve loved my pair so much this summer I only wore my 888 RE like two times.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I only have the regular 14oz but for summer I’d def go with the non OD, just for lightness and probably more airy?

[J-IV]

Broken +1

[Matt]

Pretty unanimous. I’m going for it. Thanks everyone!

[mclaincausey]

Now that you’ve made your decision I love the 14oz OD.

I’ve not experienced the BT though. Next pair will be heavy since I have some slub Pronto 888 in the backlog.

[Matt]

Good problems to have.

[Twistlock]

Guess you mean this one @Matt

Btw, BT ftw.

[AdamJ]

Broken twill no question, have been wearing them non stop since Hamburg

[Alex]

Good find, @Twistlock . Weird that it didnt show up in searches @AdamJ ..

[AdamJ]

@Alex weird, I'll look in to it

[tody]

@AdamJ Probably a list of too common words excluded from the search feature by default.

[Matt]

Thanks guys. I knew it was in there somewhere.

[Matt]

I’m letting go of my DR cargos which saddens me but I’m now looking at the 733 and 734. Can anyone provide their thoughts on comparison?

[tody]

I only have the 734. Think of a Carhartt cargo pant, but it feels pretty light yet very sturdy. I have in both green and black, and I like them a lot. They are rather wide, at least the legs. The 733 I have only touched, much softer and smoother in comparison.
