    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.

              In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                @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)

                      19oz left hand twill is the most beautiful IH denim to me.

                        @Darth-fader the 14oz is definitely a sleeper. I plan on catching my 14oz pairs up to my 21oz pairs once the weather warms up. I want to see how the durability compares.

                          @WhiskeySandwich I agree! 14oz denim gets very soft but is still durable. I’ve worn mine working construction and they held up well.
