@goosehd
Thanks my man. -
Hello everyone. Probably like other people, I am eagerly awaiting the release of these beauties. They will be for me, the first time I would have a pair of 25 oz. Now, a question: how are they considered in terms of breathability, warmth compared to for example the 21 oz indigo of which I have a pair! Or if there is a thread with specifications in terms of stiffness, warmth and airiness/breathability of different materials, please direct me to it.

@bilos2511 The 21oz denim is much more supple and breathable than the 25 XHSib, which is thick and crunchy and not particularly breathable. I usually put away my 25 XHSib for the warmer months, but my 21 oz I wear throughout the year. I find them even more breathable and more comfortable on warmer days than my 14 oz bb.

@bilos2511 I have the regular XHS that I've been wearing since the end of August almost entirely. Every day. Today(18°) I wore my 21oz and they felt like they had teeny holes in them. Like screen doors
. I immediately went back in the house and put the XHS back on. I was hoping to utilize the higher rise of my 21's(555) while driving. Nope. spoiled by the 25oz insulation. -
Ok, everything is very clear and thank you. So if I want insulation in cold weather, XHS is much more suitable. On the other hand, in warmer temperatures, a pair of 21 is more suitable. As I was saying, I have the 21 and I can tell during this period (2-3-4 degrees Celsius) how they behave. Thank you.

@AdamJ Hi! I have two questions.
-
My 777XHS ib have 200 wears and they are still super stiff. Any tips to soften them up?
-
My favorite weight has been 21oz on Indigo/Black. I see that color/weight has been discontinued. What was the reason? and Will it come back?
Thanks!!

wear and washing is the only way they will soften up

@bluemantra none yet I'm afraid, hopefully the rest of the 25oz IB denim cuts will be rolling in soon

@AdamJ man. I’m just realizing I missed out on the 21oz IB and it looks amazing. I was so obsessed with 25oz for so long I’m realizing I’ve missed some really cool denims. Hope it comes back one day.
-
@Mizmazzle I don't think it will in the near future to be honest mate, it sold poorly at the time and given our production priorities, I can't see it getting the nod at the expense of something more sought after.
I appreciate your point though, there are a lot of denims that were seemingly unpopular in the past that gained popularity later on!
See 25oz Black/Black denim as one example

I’d be very interested in both the 21oz ib and 25oz bb.
