      I snubbed the 14oz for years under the illusion it was inferior after squeezing myself in to 21oz SBG denim. Didn't know what I was missing 'till I got the 14oz broken twill, it's all I've been wearing since Sept '23

      Other factors may have forced the absence of SBG, namely my waistline 😦

      The devil is in the detail..

        The 16oz Slubby has gotten me the most compliments from normies of any of my IH jeans. (I have the 25oz, 21oz, 16oz and Ducks.) I think they aren't used to slubby denim, but people seem to note its character more than they do a more regular weave.

        Take the dive...

            18oz vintage is definitely my favourite so far. Love the slubby character that starts to show once it starts to fade.

              I’m wearing the broken twill right now. So good.

              People, sounds like the SBR ain’t coming back. If you can, buy it. If IH doesn’t have your size, Self Edge might.

                They are great. Nice, slightly brighter blue and subtle coarseness. Fade great.

                    I think the subjectivity you’ll find is more than enough validation for all the weights. I wear XHS or UHR most of the time, and don’t really get hot in it until the real summer heat (and this is after actually getting out in the heat and walking for a while). And I’m a very hot-natured person. Oddly, I find 21oz a lot hotter, and even more I find the 14oz to be the least comfortable and my least favorite of all the IH denims. So yep, really varies wildly from person to person, and I love having all the options.

                      You find the 14oz more uncomfortable than the UHR? You crazy.

                      I’m joking. Like I said, different strokes. I love my XHS, too.

                        So I just need to buy a pair of each fabric and see for myself

                        You asked one question, got 30 answers and came to the correct conclusion all on your own. Well done. 😉

                          The 14oz are much hotter than my 21oz because the weave is so tight.

                            @drewfonse haha yeah I dunno! My UHR actually seemed to get comfortable very quickly, and tbh I might find them 2nd place in comfort to 21oz. And by that I mean softness, not heat. For whatever reason I find the 21 just as hot or maybe hotter.

                            As mentioned above, I think it just the tight weave of the 14oz that makes it so much hotter to me. Also noticed the waistband cut into my love handles a lot more haha…

                              I like them all for different reasons. 21oz are like sweatpants when they're broken in. 25oz feels like armor at first, but gets unbelievably soft over time, 19L is like cardboard but will eventually yield and become really soft. 14oz is a nice compromise for summer when the very-breathable 21oz becomes too much. YMMV.
