@Alex @Giles I’ve been studying the pics of the new denim and have a guess…should I just shut up and wait or can I try to see if I’m anywhere close?

We won't release details until we are ready, regardless of who guesses what

Airport bound....

@Giles Thank you for keeping us in the loop. A lot of us are so hyped for this cut! I’m crossing my fingers that one of those 10oz denim variants gets the nod for this pair. Lightweight, relaxed cut, IH engineered. Recipe for success. Again, I’ll be happy with whatever comes out. But a man can dream Have fun on your trip! Starting the fade journey in the most epic way!!!

@Fadez from the way it molds it looks like one of the heavier denims for me but I am not an expert

Edamame beans in sweet chilli sauce....

I guess spilling the beans is not an option in this thread

[Giles]

And the winner is @Tom-Longarms

@jordanscollected All I know is, it's denim! We'll find out the rest in good time.

I'm guessing 18oz vintage. If memory serves, it's one of Giles favorites, and I believe the 18oz is in production right now since the 18oz CPO is slated to restock fairly soon.

@Go-For-Chill you might be thinking of the 18oz Raw, which Giles designed. That denim was sadly phased out by the new 18oz Vintage because I guess at the time there could only be one. The OG is my favorite IH denim, too.

I'm a little baffled by these pics — the new 18oz doesn't have that hairiness, if I recall correctly, but I don't own anything in that denim at the moment, so I can't really compare. I do remember it being more crosshatch-y than that. I do have a pair of Beatle Busters in the old 18oz, and that denim isn't as hairy — it starts out more flat but then develops this really cool crosshatch that's even more pronounced than the new 18s. These new pics look like a totally new denim to my eyes. Hairy texture, little bit of vertical slub, but nothing like the 16oz slubby. MYSTERIES!
