@WhiskeySandwich man, the stack on the IBs is one of the most beautiful fades I've ever seen
-
They are a delight to wear and share
-
Got a couple fit shots of these two and a comparison with my new 21og
-
Since idk a better place to put this…More comparison shots for anyone curious. Indigo 21(left) vs 14oz. The “wale” on the denim is the biggest difference to the eye. Due to the tighter weave and less visible weft showing through, the 14 appears darker, which my camera didn’t pick up much of. These are both under 10 days wear. I really like both. The 14 is less breathable due to tighter weave but damned if it doesn’t wear cooler and easier. If you’ll take my word, it’s better for the heat hands down. But the 21oz does breathe slightly more, however it can weigh you down if it’s hot enough to sweat. Obviously, if you can’t decide- buy both and compare for yourself. You wouldn’t regret it.

@WhiskeySandwich I have to say I completely agree and I am much preferring 14oz to 21oz on the warmer days, contrary to popular opinion here on the forum. I wouldn’t dispute that the 21oz is more breathable but just feel weighed down by it as you say. I’d be curious to see if anyone would pick a 21oz type 3 for summer over a 14oz
-
@DeeDee85 with my 19oz type 3 I run hot from 18-20 degrees celsius, but they seem to be less breathable than 21 oz... Had a 16 oz slb type 2 that was wearable in summer no problem up to 30 degrees...

@october-rust same cut on the same body, I guess… I just wear em and they do what they do. I have noticed that slight variations in measurements here and there alter the way they crease. Also noticed that every single pair of IH I have have an ever so slightly slimmer upper right thigh. Negligible effect, maybe due to the fifth pocket.
-
@DeeDee85 I'm still okay with rocking the 21oz during summer if i'm going to be mostly indoors, but if i had to spend the whole day outside, i'll take the 14oz. No way I'd wear a 21oz jacket in the summer. I barely wear a t-shirt when i'm outside in the summer. On some occasions when it's really hot, the sleeves on my tee shirts have been known to spontaneously fall off...

@Mizmazzle fades are so sick, fantastic stuff there pal.
-
Not in the same league as recent contributions, but there’s definitely something going on with my 666S-21. I don’t keep metrics as I’m a slow fader and would inevitably get frustrated, but I’ve had these about 2 1/2 years (intermittent wear).

excellent contributions @WhiskeySandwich @Mizmazzle @ARNC
inspired to post something tomorrow

@ARNC said in The Evolution of Iron Heart:
Please do and thanks, although not sure I feel worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as M and WS!
...and for that very reason you are! Humbleness is a virtue and your place amongst the greats of IH is warranted
-
@ARNC you sure as hell are, I’m flattered but we’re no more or less worthy than anyone here. I appreciate all kinds, man! Send it!
