    @ssherman95 This was a response to a similar question in the 555-14oz thread from @Steve an IHUK staff member:

    @Steve said in IH-555S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - Indigo:

    @GardenState I have a pair of the 14oz in the 555 cut (on left) and 21oz, in the 777 cut (the 14oz I have had probably 6 months longer), and if I'm honest I havent really noticed any difference when I wear them in the summer from a breathability aspect - the tighter weave counter balances the denim weight - but the 14oz I do find a bit more comfortable in the summer to move around in (cycling etc) which you tend to do as you are out and about more. I find also the 14oz denim is a bit more electric blue in colour. Hope this helps!

    Hope this helps and I also moved your question to this thread.

      @ssherman95 id say 16, 18, and 21oz, generally in that order, are all better and more breathable than the 14oz which is pretty tightly woven and hard faced. I recall the 14IB in particular being pretty hot when new. ymmv.

        This should be the IHV-13 vest. Any idea how much of these were made?

        Maybe 50

              for jeans that are sanforized but unwashed do these need to be washed before wearing to prevent the fades from shifting?

                They don’t need to be, but our advice is to soak/wash first to bed in constructional stitching before wearing

                  If the jeans have been sanforised then fade shift will be virtually zero.

                    Could anyone recommend me any sources for quality denim hardware ? Thanks.

                        I'm thinking about washing a never washed IH indigo shirt together with an old pair of IH jeans. Is there anything that speaks against that? I mean would you suggest washing them separately in the machine?

                          I'd chuck them in together....

                            Go for it. It could help darken your jeans. 😜

                              @Alex been wondering about the denim bottoms production backlog… I remember you discussing it on the podcast a while back and I’ve been wondering if it is getting sorted as time passes. I’m sure it’s frustrating, I was just curious and hopeful that it was moving in the right direction for you (and us 😀)

                                  @Alex good to hear…moving is better than stuck. Thanks and hope it keeps getting better.

                                    @Giles @Alex is the indigo/indigo duck that is used for the DD jacket the same 16.5/17.5 raw cotton that was used for the pants? In which case, would one treat a jacket of that fabric as raw (following the UHR instructions)?

                                      Yes, I had this jacket and I treated as raw, and got decent shrink from it

                                          I think its also a streak magnet, from memory mate, so treat like UHR if it were SBG, if you know what I mean @Oaktavia
