    I saw that - hoping they go into general production. That blue/green circle thing throws me off (yes, I know it will be covered by a belt).

      Same here, but I think it should be pretty easy to unpick the circle.

          Hey, long time lurker but new forum member (can finally search, haha). I've been looking for a thread like this for a while.

          I was wondering if we could revive this thread, everyone told their favorite over 10 years ago with a whole different arsenal of options. I want a new denim and am having the toughest time deciding, and figured a post like this would be the easiest way to see what everyone likes the best and why, and maybe it can help me make a decision.

          For the limited pairs I have, the 21oz indigo is my favorite. Love the feel, the drape, the slow fade, the heft, everything about it (not the best at describing denim haha).

              The flagship 21oz is the perfect gateway drug… you did well by starting here. tripping your balls off day 1 with some of the gnarlier fabrics is not advised. But since you’re now “experienced”, XHS is one hell of a ride.
              YMMV of course but drape and feel is only amplified with the XHS lineup. That and the evolution of this fabric put them in a league of their own.

                I’m a 14oz guy. It’s not at all “thin”. Still hefty

                Less is more

                    Depends on the time of year.

                    Summer: 21oz
                    Winter: XHS
                    Spring/Autumn: depends on the day

                      21oz, but I just received my first pair of 25oz yesterday, so we'll see how the winter goes.

                      My answer hasn’t changed much from the last time. 😂

                        19oz LHT. Rigid, leathery, super inky when new, has leg twist, amazing fades. Admittedly I’ve not tried all the denim offerings but it’s my fav I’ve tried.

                                      I have limited experience I really liked the 21oz ib I recently faded for the Indigo Invitational if you can find a pair. I do have a pair of the UHR that I really like but I haven't put in as much wear. They would be great if you want to try the whole shrink to fit experience but with a heavy weight fabric. I do want to try XHS/XHSIB/XHSBB and the 19oz LHT at some point.

                                        All I've tried are excellent, but for me the most fun is definitely 25oz.
                                        21oz/SBG is great as well, enjoyable to wear while it simultaneously gets out of the way. 25oz will occasionally remind you that you're wearing it, in the best of ways if you ask me. It's one of those peculiar things that actually makes daily life a little bit better.

                                        So XHS/XHSib/XHSbb without a doubt in my case.

                                          I do like the way xhs molds to your form. Not sure what my favorite is overall though.

                                          Think it, be it.
