@mclaincausey I would  have 100% walked past you in the street without having a clue it was you.  In fact, I still cant quite believe it….

How does the weave of the 18oz compare to the 21oz?

I adore the way my 21oz 777s feel. Considering expanding the collection to include a 666 cut and some vintage denim, especially if my office ends up letting us wear denim every day.

The 18oz vintage feels like a tighter weave to me than the 21oz.

Pretty open ended question on my part, but does the tighter weave on the 18oz make them feel comparable to the 21oz in terms of weight?

I really just need to get my hands on some 18oz IH denim and see what it feels like.

As you’d imagine it feels a little lighter. The 21oz denim seems heavier than it’s heft. The double twisted weft makes it thicc and squishy.

It definitely feels lighter. It drapes immediately without a brake in period. The hand is very different.  The 21oz feels softer. Not sure if it stretches as much as the 21oz. I have about 2 weeks of wear on mine and it still feels like day one vs the 21oz already starts stretching easily by day 3.

Any news on restock ?

Re-run initiated about a month ago, so a few months out I am afraid…..

Wore mine today. This denim is breathable enough for consistent wear throughout the year.

[FlannelnBooze]

Thanks all for the replies. I'll keep sitting on the idea of picking up a pair until the restock.

Cheers!

Will the next run include size 35?

[Giles]

Yes….

[Toronto_Tim]

Can't wait for the restock…!

Was thinking about this 18oz for the warmer months. Would you say its fairly breathable? Or should i be looking into the 14oz stuff?

I remember it being very wearable in warmer weather.
