      Hi all,

      i´ve got a more genereal question.
      How important is the shouldermeasurement if the chest size is correct ?
      If read somewhere that you only have to take look at the shoulder measurement if the sleeves are very long or short in relation to your own measurements.

      Shoulder measurements are important. I do have very broad shoulders.

        Questions to the guys who like to expand the wear before washing as much as possible: what do you do when you have been sick? It's recommended to not wear clothes or use towels/ sheets again after sicknes, what do you do?

          @FlavourFade I’ve been curious about the same thing before and looked it up. Probably worth verifying, but something like Covid doesn’t last long on surfaces, iirc a day tops, and things like the flu for only like 3-4 days max. I’d probably wash my jeans because they stink a lot sooner than I’d wash em for fear of spreading a contagion, but who knows. Unless, of course, the stink is the contagion 😅

            @popvulture haha ! Funny you thought about that too. Yeah when there is smell I can't get rid off with a good old hanging outside over night a wash is needed. But good to hear that I don't have to be afraid of an unlimited sickness loop 😂

                There is almost zero possibility of a fake 21oz plus pair of Iron Hearts looking anything like a real pair of Iron Hearts....

                Look at detailed images of the suspect pair and compare with detailed images on the IHUK website.

                    I feel like I’m always asking dumb/obvious questions, so apologies in advance.

                    Have some cash burning a hole in my pocket, and want to pick up a fresh pair of indigo jeans. I’m interested in the 14oz and the 18oz vintage. My current pair are the 19oz lefties, so was looking initially at the 14oz to add a bit of weight variety. However I’ve read that the 18oz vintage does very well in warmer weather.

                    I appreciate that descriptive language has limitations, but what are the differences in hand feel/wearability between the two denims? I get the feeling that the 14oz weave is more uniform and has a smoother and rigid surface, while the 18oz is a bit hairier with a coarser/crispy texture. Which, if any, is the most “different” from the 19oz lefty?

                      Normally for “this or that” I look at the fades, and the 18oz looks consistently lovely but @TENDREL ’s pair of 14oz has me in two minds

                        @jerkules your expactations are on point. Thats exactly how they compare. Still I would say even with being less breathable the lighter weigh of the 14 oz can feel more pleasant on the skin. But I have only experience with shirts in these denims.

                              @jerkules hey man, have you already considered the 16 oz slubs? They breathe as well if not better than my 14 oz and will no doubt give you the biggest variance in texture

                                  @popvulture excellent point, and one I was about to make, too. Also, agreed with @FlavourFade on the no dumb questions

                                    I wanted to ask the exact same question. I haven’t tried all the different weight denims,but the 21OZ are my summer denims in NYC,and recently in Barcelona and Madrid. At the end of the day,if it’s hot and humid,you’re going to be uncomfortable,but wearing IH,you’ll look better than everyone else.

                                        Yes, and I bloody loved the 21oz. Grew out of the cut (777) and am now firmly a 634 guy. I’d probably grab the 21oz 634s if my size were in stock at IH or R&H. But unlike Ian MacKaye, I am an impatient boy, so having my head turned by other denims.

                                            If I had the choice I’d go with 18oz all day long. I just think it’s a more interesting denim. The 14oz is totally fine, but just feels less IH to me.
