@Daniel-San oh interesting. Didn’t realize the weight made a difference in the potential twist.

unique 22oz fades

Little comparison shot between my 16oz SBG and my 13oz Serge

[A Former User]

@WhiskeySandwich both amazing! How much wears atm?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Heavy_blue thanks! 126 wears on the 362, and idk half that on the serge, don’t have a counter for that one

[A Former User]

@WhiskeySandwich your SBG is my inspiration my man! Totally.. i’m on 44 now and in doubt for more spot cleaning or a first soak/wash

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Heavy_blue nice! Nothing wrong with a soak at that point, I think I did my first one at around there or even less. I’m sure it’ll turn out awesome

[WhiskeySandwich]

Its nice to have laundry that favors lazy washing habits!

[A Former User]

@WhiskeySandwich for sure haha!! I’m at 44 wears i’ll drag it up to 50 and then soak or wash it

I don’t think it’s the weight so much as the tension in the weave, sanforization, and maybe other factors like pre-skewing.

Just gave the IHSH-IHG-BLK a wash before putting it away till the autumn. The slub really seems to have come alive!

Not sure if this is the best place, but the party shirt doesn’t seem to have its own thread.

@ARNC lovely

[Daniel San]

21 vs 22oz fantastic denim

21ib closing in on 100 wears, and 142, closing in on 2. Lol

[WhiskeySandwich]

Threw on the ol 18oz cuz I missed em.


I think I might need these in an 888 when they’re back

[WhiskeySandwich]

Another comparison: 18oz vintage with lots of wear, and the 142 with very not much

[A Former User]

@WhiskeySandwich great comparisons i really dig that you’re doing this! Thanks

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Heavy_blue they just happen to be hanging next to each other and catch my eye lol. Figured I could show the differences in different lights. Each fabric is so unique. Some might think “jeans is jeans” but if you compare them they’re so different. Glad you dig!

[WhiskeySandwich]

The lighting, btw, is just normal house lighting, no natural light here, and no effects or flash on the photo. I think Iphone does weird things even in regular camera mode.
Another note about the shot of the back pockets. The 18oz is a 777, and the 14oz is a 888, they're both hanging from the beltloops at the same height. Notice how much lower the back pockets are on the 777 on the right. Add that the the fact that the 888 has about 2" more rise. Aside from the necessary added thigh room, this contributes to my reasons for favoring the 888.
