    Top to Bottom faves

    16oz Slub. It breathes so well. That’s kind of my new thing.

    UHR - it’s so beautiful when fading

    25oz XHS - when I was younger I put about 4-5 years in these between my regular and OD pair. Just so great. But can’t do it now that I’m older.

    21oz OG - just a great year round denim that rocks. Have had 3 pairs total of these over the years

      XHS is, of course, legendary, but 18 ounce vintage always seems so overlooked to me. It's got a little bit of everything to offer and it's wearable enough to be an all around, go to denim.

      Looks like denim truly is the fabric of our salvation.

        I’ve got the XHS, 21od, 16slb, and 14bb. XHS is my favorite during winter. I wear the hell out of the 14bb. The slb are my new pair for summer. I guess I like them all.

          @Mizmazzle said in What is your favorite IH denim.:

          XHS is King!!

          Agreed but XHSib is the ultimate denim IMO.

            If you could pick just one pair 21oz is hard to beat as an allrounder. Everything else is kinda nice to have luxury

              @krebsy so would you say you prefer the 18? Or too hard to choose

                @Fadez why is XHS a no go now that you're older?

                  It's tough to choose, but if I had to, I think I would go 18. It would be more wearable for me in a 4 season environment, but I sure would miss XHS!!

                    each is awesome, but OG 21oz is my fave. It just does everything. Also great in SBG when you need to hide the grease stains.

                      @Giles what is your favorite out of products that are in continuous production?

                        Apart from the original 18oz - which I would wear all the time if it was still made, I actually don't really have a favourite, I am very fond of the original XHS and 14oz because they were both my ideas. And have loved wearing them.

                        But truthfully, if I am wearing it and it has an indigo warp, it's my current favourite....

                          21od. Possibly anything overdyed (looking at those slubs). Would love to try the 19L but if it really is heavier feeling than the XHS then I'm out.

                            @GardenState great take! Probably one of our most underrated denims in my opinion - I've been living in my 21ods recently, the comfort is almost criminal...

                              @wjw They are hot and heavy. My legs are bigger due to lifting and require more space. If there was a 15” thigh on a size 36 it could be doable. But I just need that range of motion as well as the breathability. I feel like I lost some tolerance in my age to withstand the heat. I wore XHS in Los Angeles for years. Now I only do UHR when it’s cold or snowing. I just need light and movable denim now with wide legs. No knock on IH at all. Just my body is different. It’s been crazy to see over the years that I’ve been shopping with IH. How my tastes have changed over time

                                @Fadez I get this I have a pair of blue denim from another brand that is under 14oz and it's super comfortable. However, I think I'll be picking up slubs at some point - they look like they stretch a ton, and the fabric is loose and thus light feeling. The perfect comfort/summer denim?

                                  @GardenState You absolutely nailed it! If you’re from NJ (the garden state) I’m from PA. Those humid summers allow much more air circulation.

                                    @GardenState 21ozOD was my first IH denim. I moved quickly to XHS and the ODs sat for a couple years. I'm back to wearing them again and as stated by @Ross they are insanely soft and comfortable. They are my cozy house jeans now with a newfound 2-3x a week rotation wear for work and hiking etc.

                                      @Mizmazzle I think it was you, possibly someone else, that compared the 21od to velvet and it's so accurate. Not just in regard to hand feel but the way it changes color depending on the direction the denim gets brushed.

                                        18oz vintage for me currently, but similarly to @Giles if im wearing one pair regularly, I grow a strong affection to them and at the moment, its my 18oz. I was the same with the 21oz and slubs.

                                          I do like the heavier denims, but recently decided 14oz is good enough for me - so I have stocked up and plan on spending the next couple of years living in this lot (just waiting for the over-dyed to restock in my size to complete the set)
