@Tago-Mago thanks! The opposite, I guess I should have named the left to right like a normal person lol
-
@WhiskeySandwich hahaha, fooled me. 18oz Vintage is high on the list for my next denim. But it could be UHR or SBG, too. So many choices
-
@Tago-Mago haven’t tried the uhr yet but I love em all. 18oz is one of the best, for sure.

@WhiskeySandwich Completely agree! 18oz is my favourite for year round, 16 slubs in hot weather, 21-25oz in winter months.
-
@WhiskeySandwich @goosehd I have the 14oz 555, 21oz 666 and 25oz 777 (maybe I should stick to one cut for better comparability
) I find the 21oz almost easier to wear in higer temps than the 14oz. Although that is highly subjective, obviously. UHF and XHS are the opposite of what I would expect to wear, as I tend to run hot... -
@Tago-Mago I have two cuts that work really well for me. 634’s and 666’s because the rise is perfect. I also have 888’s and find the rise is higher than I personally like.
Edit: Everyone will find a fit that works best for them. I really hope that everyone spends the time and effort, measuring what they currently have, and decides on what works for them.

@goosehd both the 555 and 666 work for me, IMO. The 777 is borderline low, although I suspect that it may fit better in a lighter (read thinner) fabric. 888 could also be an option which I have yet to try. The one cut that I would exclude is the 634 because the leg opening is too wide for my liking
-
@Tago-Mago …and precisely why I love IH. There are enough options where there is something for almost everyone.
-
I def prefer a taper. Both the 777 and 888 are great, but I usually look for a slimmer, lower rise 888. The 777 is just a little too slim when the waist fits.
-
@goosehd it took me a little trial and error to get my fit right. My first pair were 16oz 555 slubs and thought they were great, until they stretched a bit too much in the waist as I’d sized for comfort. Sold those on and tried 777’s and the rear rise was way too low. Tried 888’s and I personally liked them but it was a hard no from my wife. Went back to the 555 two tag sizes down from my original 16oz slubs and nailed every pair since. I do like the look of the 634 on other people but after wearing slim fit jeans in my teenage years and early twenties they just won’t look right on me
that and my wife would object

@Tago-Mago yeah definitely, I like to be able to see a good chunk of whatever is on my feet at the time. On paper the 888 makes the most sense for me, high rise, roomy thigh, taper to a narrow opening… and my wife laughed when I tried them on. 555’s fit me fantastic. I’ve not actually tried on a pair of 634’s, or think there’s much point, they are so far out of my comfort zone. Maybe when I’m older?
