      Ok, so I’m a bit bored off my ass, currently physically limited, stuck at home with anxiety through the roof because we just sent our two (too young to be vaccinated) kids off to public school in an area hot with delta and I’m trying to pass some time. So here’s a pic of my IH bottoms lined up real nice like a crazy person [emoji12]. Lighting is not great but I thought the different shades looked cool. L to R…
      Duck (don’t know why it’s even in there) unwashed 21, unwashed 21L, 21, 18, 142. Wish I had some XHS to throw in the mix  Maybe next time.

        Nice comparison pic @SKT .

        May be nice to get another one from much closer up, where we can also see the different textures amongst them. They would have to be much more overlapped to get them all in one frame, which is important for comparison.

        Very cool!

        The journey is the objective.

          [mention]motojobobo [/mention] here is one that has better lighting and a little closer. Amazing what light can do

          Also, now neighbors are wondering about me.

              Dude. I feel you on the physical limitation restlessness right now. Beautiful comparisons. I love all the denim. So happy to add some 14oz iB to my collection later today. Kudos on your own collection and I hope you return to full mobility with ease!

                Great side by side comparison. And again, I love the 142.

                    [mention]Dmart [/mention] I love how crinkly and crispy the 142 feels. This pair has been worn quite a bit and washed a couple of times. Next summer it will really take off I think. Here is a pic ofthe 18 and 142 because why the hell not?

                      Look at how the lefty stands out in that close-up group shot….Amazing

                        [mention]Giles [/mention] I absolutely love the lefty’s. My first pair of IH jeans.  They’ve been a bit neglected because I grew a little last year. I can wear them again now, just waiting for some cool weather. I can’t wait to see how they evolve once I’ve given them a proper wash and more wear time.

                          [mention]Giles [/mention] I apologize if this has been asked before, but will there be more cuts available down the road in the left hand twill? The texture is awesome and I love how you can actually feel the more pronounced weave.

                            I hope so. I was sad to see the current models listed as seasonal/limited run, just as I decided the 634 cut was for me after all. a return would be most welcome.

                            These are wonderful shots @SKT I appreciate the time and detail and they really are denim porn in the best sense of that otherwise hackneyed phrase.

                            I hope it took your mind off the stress of sending the kids to school. I'm in the same position, and while two of mine are fully vaccinated, I have a 14 year old, and 6 year old at school, and a 4 year old in kindergarten.

                              Thanks Reuben. Agree on the left hand twill. I hope it sticks around because it’s pretty awesome stuff. Our kids are 10 and 7. My sons’s grade sent 11 kids home to quarantine after ONE day!  The positive kid was not in his class but the spectre is there constantly. Good luck to your kids at school and hope everybody stays healthy.

                                  Cool to see them side by side. Would be great to see this with not only XHS but also OD, SST, and Slub. the ih indigo palette

                                    This would be cool to see, even if it was made of hem scraps or something

                                    @zhivago I’m sure the neighbors were scratching their heads 🤣

                                      I know no one asked for a multi-crotch shot but here it is anyway

                                      You can really see the 142 beginning to fade in this shot.

                                      Also, the reason I went down this road in the first place was because I had all my denim out to re-hang on new denim hangers. They had been folded (bad idea) on traditional hangers. That practice was making some pretty irreparable creases, especially in the 142’s. Lesson learned.

                                        Not sure about the 21.  But we are doing all the core cuts in the 19…..

                                            @Joberwocky Thanks man! I’d like to add some whip cord cargos and a pair of XHS. That would do it for me. I wish that my collection had a little more diversity when it comes to age and fade intensity. Maybe in a year I’ll do another shot of all and compare. Incentive to wear more!
