Traditional cut summer weight jeans?

[StarsSuck]

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?

[Giles]

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?

[Giles]

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:

@Giles:

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
