      Look at most of the LVC models. All up to (and including) the 1922 will be made from 9oz denim and will be varying degrees of 'loose' with a high rise. The models from 1927-37 are similar but use a 10oz denim. 1944 onwards will use 12oz denim and if you're looking for a higher rise, I'd suggest the 44, 55 and 66 models.

        You may want to have a look at Ande Whall's SR14 Buffalo cut.
        I have a pair of the SR11 & SR12 in the Caribou cut, nice lighter weight denims.

        Edit: Apologies, these are not in the 10oz-11oz range you're looking for.

          As I recall Oni does a decent straight leg in a 14oz denim.  As another forum member said, the weave tends to be more important than the weight.  Oni's loose weave is great flr summer.  The PBJ-x005 would also be a good similar option.  Check out denimio.com as I think the have both.

              Would you say the 14 oz breathes better than the 21 oz?

                Actually about the same.  It is a tighter weave….

                  sorry if this is a stupid (newbie) question, but is the IH-777S-14 in Giles' picture the same cut as the IH-777S-21?

                    Well, that's the plan.  But I won't know for sure until we get them here and measure them….If you want to know more, go here:

                        For a "traditional cut" there is nothing better on the market (that I have found) than the IH1955s. If they could be made with the IH 14 ozs denim, then the OPs wish and my own would be met. 😎

                        Other than custom made jeans there are few options in HIGH rise denim. But the components are right here in the IH universe to make the very best. I am hopeful.

                          I wanted to make the 1955S out of 14oz and got zero buy-in from retailers…..

                            That is a real shame. There are a million cuts of low rise trousers out there.

                            They must be making young men differently these days. I have severe anatomical constraints to wearing women’s hip huggers. You know it used to be a man wanted to look like he had a big load in the front of his jeans and nothing in the back of them. Today, the reverse is true. Go figure.

                            Thanks for the 1955S 22 ozs!

                            Cheers
