@catdad1 yeah I’ve been two pair alternating the 14oz. These and the 888-142bb. The blacks are still much less used

@WhiskeySandwich thats rad dude thanks for sharing. Definitely tend to wash denim more in the summer months. Im still in my UHR and XHSib for now but I hide inside a lot.

@WhiskeySandwich good whiskers

@WhiskeySandwich Yo those look so nice. Mine are just at the early stages but I’m wearing them hard here in the US South this summer.
I tell you, the 142s has quickly become my favorite denim. I think for my climate they’re ideal, but also I love how well they keep their shape, the thinner back pocket compared to the 21oz so they don’t give me “bulky butt”, and just how soft they get, and quickly. Love em.

@drewfonse where are you at in the South. I’m in Georgia. Post some pictures of your 142s when you get a chance.

@drewfonse What a beautiful thread this is!
Scrolled back and was thrilled.

Loool love it!
Here’s a link to the SLB pics I just posted. Really nice denim!

@drewfonse yeah buddy! They’re great in the heat, and def look good doin it. I do miss 21oz tho. On your point about shape/structure, they do hold well but my 14oz feel looser even though they aren’t, and I think the butt sags a little more with the thinner denim. I don’t see it as a problem though, just works with the weather. I think I said a while back that each pair I have has its own purpose or role in my collection, I love them all, but the 21oz has a specialness for me.
-
Oh no doubt, the 21oz is amazing. For me it’s the opposite with the butt, although the 21oz don’t sag, the thickness of the back pockets makes it look a little weird when I walk, they kind of slightly jut out to the side with each step. And they’re not too big. It doesn’t matter, I love my 21 too and look forward to wearing them a lot when it cools down
