    So what I'm hearing is that its all personal choice and subjective judgement... So I just need to buy a pair of each fabric and see for myself ;p

    I'm thinking 16oz will probably have to be next choice then since I'm curious to see how they compare with the 21 and the others will be lined up next

      I think some people feel the 21oz might be too hot for certain climates or purposes and having the option for different weighs means you can wear them for different things. Like the engineer jeans with the double knee I mean that's 42oz so if you are doing hard-core work on the farm you're golden. And then you might want to wear jeans with a sports coat and you want a bit lighter jeans to coincide with the sports jacket look...

        Don’t sleep on the 14 oz. Still look fabulous and are ultra comfortable form the get go.

          @drewfonse I’m about 15 wears into my first pair of 14oz after wearing 21oz all winter and I’m loving them.. a little crispier but still so comfy

            @Eza Weight does not correlate to breathability. 21oz is pretty breathable and one of those pairs that many people wear year round. I find that 19oz is less wearable in hotter temps. than the 21's.

            Just my $.02.

              The 16 oz is interesting. Very very different from the flagship 21. I actually prefer the feel and look of the 18oz vintage if you want an alternative to the 21. Different strokes though….

                I could make the argument with a straight face that the different 14oz I have are my favorites.

                  @goosehd don't have 19oz for me I'm just like that cheap women's store "Forever 21" LOL. But when I ask denim heads that's what they tell me, I typically tell them go big or go home...

                    @drewfonse I can believe it! A pair of 14oz indigo/black is definitely on the horizon for me after loving the standard indigo

                      Dude.

                      Full disclosure, I have the 142s, the SBR, the indigo black, all in 14oz, and the OD is on its way. All awesome.

                      I wore the ib to work yesterday, I cycle in, and they are stunning in full sun. Purple-y and creasy. And just as comfortable as the others.

                          I snubbed the 14oz for years under the illusion it was inferior after squeezing myself in to 21oz SBG denim. Didn't know what I was missing 'till I got the 14oz broken twill, it's all I've been wearing since Sept '23

                          Other factors may have forced the absence of SBG, namely my waistline 😦

                          The devil is in the detail..

                            The 16oz Slubby has gotten me the most compliments from normies of any of my IH jeans. (I have the 25oz, 21oz, 16oz and Ducks.) I think they aren't used to slubby denim, but people seem to note its character more than they do a more regular weave.

                            Take the dive...

                              @EdH I am waiting patiently for the return of the 555S-SLB, my next pair for sure

                                18oz vintage is definitely my favourite so far. Love the slubby character that starts to show once it starts to fade.

                                  I’m wearing the broken twill right now. So good.

                                  People, sounds like the SBR ain’t coming back. If you can, buy it. If IH doesn’t have your size, Self Edge might.

                                    They are great. Nice, slightly brighter blue and subtle coarseness. Fade great.

                                        I think the subjectivity you’ll find is more than enough validation for all the weights. I wear XHS or UHR most of the time, and don’t really get hot in it until the real summer heat (and this is after actually getting out in the heat and walking for a while). And I’m a very hot-natured person. Oddly, I find 21oz a lot hotter, and even more I find the 14oz to be the least comfortable and my least favorite of all the IH denims. So yep, really varies wildly from person to person, and I love having all the options.

                                          You find the 14oz more uncomfortable than the UHR? You crazy.

                                          I’m joking. Like I said, different strokes. I love my XHS, too.
