IHSH-409-IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo/Black

[Tobi]

@Oaktavia What 19oz OD CPO are we talking about? I have the 19oz IB 409 and the 18oz OD (293), and those are indeed completely different in almost all respects (except that they are both hefty)

@Oaktavia What 19oz OD CPO are we talking about?

There is only one 19oz OD CPO and it is the Self Edge collab that dropped last month.

[Tobi]

@Oaktavia OK, sorry.. slipped my mind due to general unavailability in Europe. I have seen the general excitement though

[Oaktavia]

@Tobi no worries all my dude, all the 409, 293 and SEXIH25CPO are different beasts from one another.

[VegaS10]

@Tobi , I currently own the previous OD CPO (non Self Edge piece).

which one is this? the 293?

[VegaS10]

@Oaktavia Correct.

Toss my name on the long list of suitors for this one....and the 293 OD.

There just so much great s**t; it's annoying ...

@Oaktavia I don’t have the 409, but would love to know your opinions/analysis of the two fabrics (themselves).

I’ve come to the resolve that 19oz is my sweet spot for jeans…i end up wearing/fading this weight the most on my legs…and evidently, I am all-in on the 12/14oz for tops.

Regardless, I would love to hear your insight into the differences wrt these two denims. In my mind, the 409 ib is more similar to 19L. or else more similar to the RHT 19oz SEXIH07/09 collabs? I wonder if the 409 fabric existence was borne out of SEXIH25 sampling?

[Oaktavia]

@Boit The 19ozib is like a royal blue, highly saturated almost purple when new. The richness of the denim color yields sophisticated ranges of indigo unlike any other I have seen. The denim is smooth.

The SEXIH25 denim is like ballpoint pen ink in some areas, while having that muted OD look. The slubs are soft yet rigid, irregular. The color is in and of itself with denim.

19ozib is not similar to the 19L. Difference in color, texture, everything. These two denims could not be more different in my opinion.

Does this help provide insight on the three 19oz beasts? I quite love all three for what they each are, individually.

I was also wondering if the 19ozib was rejected during the 5 year development of the SEXIH25 .

@Oaktavia can I hire you as a consultant to describe to my wife why the indigo shirts in my closet are different? This is a service I need my life. O.D.C. Ltd. (Oaktavia Denim Consultants Limited.)

[VegaS10]

@Oaktavia , thanks for the great insight!

[VegaS10]

@derek111 My wife won't fall for this. I just play dumb and say "shit, they're like Pokemon...gots to catch them all!"

[Oaktavia]

@derek111 hahaha yes!

[Oaktavia]

@VegaS10 You are welcome

[Boit]

@Oaktavia sound like you’re in the club

@Oaktavia as denim consultant good idea, @derek111.

re The 19VHS (SEX25 denim), I agree, this is unlike anything i’ve seen from IH (dont have the 16oz Slub). .

Sounds like it is mostly like the 16oz Slub, from your prospective? Historically, I’ve not been a fan of too much slub. However, I really like that this newer heavier stuff drapes very nicely..and the lack of hariness to the denim. I might be in the minority here, but I notice that I start to really love my denim when that hair gets rubbed off (maybe there is a term for that?)

[Oaktavia]

@Boit it is kind of similar to the 16oz slub yeah, but its also just exists as its own unique thing. Whether or not its similar or different from one denim or the other might not matter.

@Oaktavia I hope to see it sooner or later, my type 3 indigo is still on the road since May 31st

[ManiacLachy]

@Luijim78 do you mean your SExIH Type3? My SExIH 633s are still making their way to me as well. Very very slowly.
