THIS OR THAT?

[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.

[Matt]

That’s helpful. Thank you. I like different things about both but I don’t want to get both. I guess this is a case of can’t go wrong either way.

[Matt]

And then there’s the camos coming out. Don’t know if they’re cargos or what. How many pairs of cargo pants is acceptable before it’s weird?

[Tago Mago]

Is quantity really the right metric here? I mean would you ask the same question if it were a pair of denim you were looking for?

[goosehd]

@Matt you know what @MaxPower would say…

[Matt]

I do.

[Matt]

And it is The Right Way after all.

I’ve got room for one new pair of jeans to put in the rotation when weather cools back down next fall. Should I finally get some XHS or wait for the 19L restock?

[endo]

You‘ll do both anyway, so go for the XHS now and do the 19L later.

[SKT]

smh…you’re so right. Forgot where I was for a minute.

[akohut]

Very torn between the upcoming 21oz SBG type 3 and the superblack non-fade. Anyone have input either way here?

[Matt]

@SKT Agreed.

[Matt]

@akohut I alway prefer fading options. It’s a matter of personal taste of course. How you plan to wear it could help you decide. If you wear it casually you’ll want to fade. If it’s for date night, maybe non fade.

[chrisjohnnick]

I vote for fades. It's nice to see the fruits of your hard wearin' work.

Fades guy here. Evo and wabi sabi are almost the entire point for me. Not just for fades, but for fabric texture, hand, and decay.

There are times and places where I want a garment to remain pristine, and for those I tend to go to other brands like Vuori for work slacks for example.

I’m decidedly undecided on my next jeans purchase. I’ve decided that my next pair will be OD and in my new favorite cut…so RN I’m eying up either the 16oz Slubby OD or else the 21oz OD. Which one ( and I can only get one) should I get? and why?

[pechelman]

Have a pair of 16oz slubs but never held 16oz slubby od but the 21OD is super nice and almost velvety right from the start. Personally I'd go for the 21 over the 16 unless you really want a pair of black od jeans to wear when it gets hotter since they breathe a bit better than the 21s. Also feel like the 21 fabric is overall a bit more durable than the 16 if you plan on working or crawling around in them.
