@tvaillant75 I had the chance to try on both and much preferred this one for its fit and feel, but I also already have a few more traditional selvedge jackets in the collection. The 19 oz. is what you would expect from a well-made raw IH jacket - very stiff but will break in nicely if you put the work in. I will say - I would have sized up to a Large in the 19 oz. Took my typical Medium in the blend.
In my opinion, the blend may be a little more versatile because you can wear it year round. But it will lack the break in and fading process that is so much fun with raw denim.
Hope this helps!
