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

@popvulture said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:

@jerkules have you had a pair of 21oz?
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.

[jerkules]

@flannel-slut yes I have, and enjoyed them but sized incorrectly. Good shout, though I’m always keen to try something new

[jerkules]

@popvulture @Tago-Mago
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.

[jerkules]

@Jett129 you’re totally right my man.

[popvulture]

@jerkules I hear ya, man! (Also Fugazi refs anytime, pls)

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.

[jerkules]

Appreciate the input @popvulture got some thinking to do

[Oaktavia]

@jerkules well now I have that song stuck in my head. Thanks a lot!

[FlavourFade]

@jerkules today it's 31°C outside and I took a walk in my 21 oz 555. It was okay and at the end of the day they did not come off extremely easy but I did not overheat. With a wider cut like 634 it would have been even better

[SKT]

@jerkules a quick vote for the 18’s. Great denim and I think a better warm weather denim than the 14. My 2¢

[Aetas]

@jerkules

My vote goes definitely to the 14oz !
It is underrated for so many unjustified reasons!!!

[Coldsnap]

Can someone help me ID this Western shirt? Things to note - No runoff stitching, selvedge line is indigo?, looks pretty black and fade to grey/blue, throat clasp is a snap not a button. Got it used and wondering the weight..

[DeeDee85]

@jerkules have to say I agree with @Aetas i bought my 14oz indigo 555’s to wear in the warmer months and have had no problem wearing them in high heat. I never thought I’d say this either but they might.. they just might be my favourite pair of jeans. Softened up loads, slow faders but after around 35 full days wear they are showing signs of just how awesome they are going to be.
So many differing opinions, I don’t think any are wrong. Each denim is unique and is probably why most of us end up with a pair of each

[Matt]

@Coldsnap looks OD and like the chainstitch was cut off. Could be an OD 33 depending on how heavy it is.

[AdamJ]

@Coldsnap @Matt only thing that's throwing me off is the 33-OD has contrast stitching, or at least for as long as I can recall

[Jett129]

@AdamJ @Giles can confirm this but the first time that a 33 was over dyed,was a shirt, where I think Haraki wasn’t satisfied with the Indigo color and Giles said over dye them. This might be that shirt?

[Giles]

Could be, but I can only vaguely remember that....

[jordanscollected]

Isn't it about time we get an Under dyed shirt or pair of denim jeans?

[Mizmazzle]

^^ hahah

[sabergirl]

Maybe a home dye job on a 33T?
