IH-634S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[T4920]

@the246guy personally, I find them more breathable than my 21oz SBG (can't comment on the indigo version) but crispier, with a nice coarseness in texture.

@T4920 Thanks for the feedback. Could you also comment on how this denim stretches over time? For example., my 634 SBG is at it'S perfect fit after 6 months. Not too tight, not too loose on the waist. Just about right. I measured the size of the waist of my SBG and it says that I have to take Tag Size 32 on the 18 oZ whereas the Tag Size 31 would fall short of about 1 inch and if I can gain that 1 inch with wear then I will go with Tag Size 31.

@the246guy you'll definitely get an inch of stretch in the waist with wear

Wow the 18oz fabric is gorgeous. Being used to my 19oz lefties, it’s hard to believe that these are only 1oz lighter. These are much more breathable! They seem like the best of all worlds: mid-heavy weight but breathable, stiff but not restrictive, textured/coarse/hairy on the outside but comfortable from the outset. It took a LOT of effort to button 19oz lefties when new. These were a synch. Also the indigo is lovely and deep. Very happy with my new jeans . Lefties going into hibernation til autumn.

@jerkules QFT and why I love them

And a pic because it’d be rude not to. My photo doesn’t begin to capture the texture or colour. They’re almost purple in the light.

@jerkules awesome! So glad you picked up a pair and can’t wait to see how they evolve!

[jerkules]

@SKT thanks for enabling me you weren’t wrong! V interested to see how these develop

Hello, I’ve ordered this pair of 18oz jeans. How to care about them to keep them dark and reduce fading? Is it better to wash them before first wearing or after couple of months?

[AdamJ]

@Olaf You don't need to wash them prior to wearing, as the fabric is already one-washed.

If you want to "keep them dark" I would say wear them infrequently. Such is the nature of rope-dyed indigo denim that if you wear them consistently, they are going to fade either way
