IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

@popvulture I know it's the same fabric and maybe it's just my impression, but in the jeans (I own a 634 ver.2 and a 666 latest version) I didn't find the same rigidity and "plasticity" as the jacket. I love them both but I was expecting armor but instead they are very comfortable and light, any XHS is much more rigid in my opinion

@pechelman @popvulture right on guys and great to be in the crunchy club

My experience was different. I was expecting the 25oz 634 to be difficult to wear in the beginning and alot of forum members were having a hard time button them up. Never for me. They felt pretty comfy by day 2. My 634 leftie v2 still gives me hard time to button the top button after 2 years of wear. Its interesting how we all have our own personal experiences.

@Luijim78 I've heard other people the same thing about the jeans vs the jacket, no idea why that is! I'm psyched to try it for myself.
I always find 25oz to be pretty gnarly at first, but I feel like it softens up pretty quickly.
-
The jacket definitely feels gnarlier than any other but the pants are pretty tough also but not to the extend of the jacket. I have both and is my experience with it. Also an observation, i have an 888 leftie from the new batch and a 634 v2 the older batch. The older batch felt stiffer to me than my 888's. Probably just a batch variation.
-
to a small extent this is felt with every fabric, for example I have the CPO 409 in 19oz i/b and it seems a little stiffer than the 777 I have in the same fabric, but in the case of the Lefty (at least in my miserable experience) the difference seems really very very marked... also the shrinkage, I did the same soaking for the jacket and for the two jeans, the jacket had the shrinkage mentioned, the jeans little or nothing... I don't understand the reason, However, I totally agree that Lefty jeans stay crispier for longer than XHS jeans.
