      The 16 oz slubb is the most breathable denim IH makes. The 18oz is great all year round for the most part. The 19L is a beast. Make sure you understand that if you go the 19L road you will get skew, aka leg twist. The 19L is unsanforized but once washed. With carefully cold wash, air dry the shrinkage will be minimal. They never get really really soft like the 21oz or even the 25oz per say. As you brake them in they will feel a lot more like suede soft vs sweatpants soft.

        @Peter I vote you go 19L…for the winter. And get the 18V when you vacation somewheres warm. That’s the plan. I’ve got 19L on RN. It’s heavy crunchy and comfortable. (not like Samurai)…Took a week to get comfy and conform. Lots of light blue showing already. Crocking is real. I’m excited to see the train tracks go the other waythis (my first) time. Last time I did IH 19oz it was RHT:

            @Boit awesome pictures! I do love me some unsanforized denim with a good leg twist. Fades are great, but it's all about that shirt haha. Can't recall what it's called, but I've got it in the OD green and it's one of my favourites. The light grey is such a killer though. That should be rerun, but also in a UHF!

            Thanks 🙂

              I know this gets asked often but I’m not too familiar with this beautiful 18oz vintage denim. I have a pair of these in a size 32 and they’re ever so slightly large on me, not greatly but I’m more of a 31 waist in general.
              If I put them wet and completely dry them in a hot spin dryer, will this denim shrink and stay a little smaller or is it just going to stretch back out on wear?
              Thanks for any advice

                @marc I doubt you can get any shrinkage as it’s been sanforized and one washed. If you were to get any, they would stretch back out to previous dimensions.

                  @goosehd thanks I was thinking that to be honest, probably just stick them on eBay or wear them a little larger they honestly don’t look bad at all. Really appreciate your input. Cheers

                    Quick update on the 18oz. 14 months now? Been keeping these going as the main work pair even after y4 of indigo invitational ended. They have truly been the perfect weight & balance of comfort, breathability.

                            Just to add….didn’t think these 18oz vintage are considered “heavy” at all. Got frisked for the first time going thru TSA with these on. The agent was having too much fun at 5 a.m. going over places thrice saying my jeans were too stiff and heavy. My awkward half awake answer was “oh, it must be bc I air dried them instead of putting them in the dryer 😅” lmfao what do you even say to that ….

                              @RoxRocks86 wow those look great. You can tell that you’ve put actual “work” into them. Are you going to retire them or keep pushing?

                                  @SKT thank you 🙂 They will need to be sent in for repairs sometime in the near future, but still lots of life in them so keeping them going as long as possible. 18oz vintage might be my ultimate favorite denim by IH.

                                      @RoxRocks86 I’m with you about the 18 oz. Vintage denim. Breathable and easy wearing year round for my climate here in the Midwest. I’ve “outgrown” my first pair so looking forward to a restock and getting started with a new cut and size

                                        Ended up giving these a bleach soak over the weekend after crawling around some nasty spaces at work. Poured about half a cup of bleach into a 5 gallon bucket for 10min., threw it in the washing machine and dryer, then laid it out in the sun for about a day.

                                          @RoxRocks86 oh dude heeeeck yeah! These jeans turned out perfect...really sets them over the edge with that bleach solution you soaked them in. It's cool you waited until they were already super duper faded to do this. I love how they turned out.
