        21oz, but I just received my first pair of 25oz yesterday, so we'll see how the winter goes.

        My answer hasn’t changed much from the last time. 😂

          19oz LHT. Rigid, leathery, super inky when new, has leg twist, amazing fades. Admittedly I’ve not tried all the denim offerings but it’s my fav I’ve tried.

                        I have limited experience I really liked the 21oz ib I recently faded for the Indigo Invitational if you can find a pair. I do have a pair of the UHR that I really like but I haven't put in as much wear. They would be great if you want to try the whole shrink to fit experience but with a heavy weight fabric. I do want to try XHS/XHSIB/XHSBB and the 19oz LHT at some point.

                          All I've tried are excellent, but for me the most fun is definitely 25oz.
                          21oz/SBG is great as well, enjoyable to wear while it simultaneously gets out of the way. 25oz will occasionally remind you that you're wearing it, in the best of ways if you ask me. It's one of those peculiar things that actually makes daily life a little bit better.

                          So XHS/XHSib/XHSbb without a doubt in my case.

                            I do like the way xhs molds to your form. Not sure what my favorite is overall though.

                            Think it, be it.

                              16oz Slub. It breathes so well. That’s kind of my new thing.

                              UHR - it’s so beautiful when fading

                              25oz XHS - when I was younger I put about 4-5 years in these between my regular and OD pair. Just so great. But can’t do it now that I’m older.

                              21oz OG - just a great year round denim that rocks. Have had 3 pairs total of these over the years

                                XHS is, of course, legendary, but 18 ounce vintage always seems so overlooked to me. It's got a little bit of everything to offer and it's wearable enough to be an all around, go to denim.

                                Looks like denim truly is the fabric of our salvation.

                                  I’ve got the XHS, 21od, 16slb, and 14bb. XHS is my favorite during winter. I wear the hell out of the 14bb. The slb are my new pair for summer. I guess I like them all.

                                    XHS is King!!
                                    XHSbb is the Kings punk rock little brother!!

                                    Agreed but XHSib is the ultimate denim IMO.

                                      If you could pick just one pair 21oz is hard to beat as an allrounder. Everything else is kinda nice to have luxury

                                            It's tough to choose, but if I had to, I think I would go 18. It would be more wearable for me in a 4 season environment, but I sure would miss XHS!!
