Cheers people! Hope your week has started off well! Quick question, I'm around 1.70 height but my legs are a tad bit shorter and I also do olympic weightlifting so my legs are a bit short and thick as well. I'm currently going through my second pair o f Edwin's ed-55 which is medium rise and tapered legs waist is 36 length is 30. Thw thing is I've lost quite some weight and now w36 is plenty big. Any suggestions on what IH cut I should look for? Also living in Greece means that even through winter the temperatures aren't that low so denim weight? I've never worn denim heavier than 15oz which is nice. How breathable are the 18-20oz?
Sorry for the superlong post,let me know if there is a more suitable thread!
Cheers!

@tolmak based on your general description, then the 888 sounds like it might be good for you. If you like a snugger fit and don't mid a low rise then the 777 might also work well, but be careful with the thigh measurements. The best you can do is measure your best fitting pair the IH way (see the webshop for details) and compare. Of course if you like a straight/regular fit the 634's are also a very good option.
When it comes to warmer temps and heavier denim then weight isn't everything. The 21 oz is easier to use in warm temps than some lighter denims because of the looser weave. The 25oz XHS is easier to wear than the 23oz UHR (although I personally wouldn't recommend either in 30C or above). I'd focus on the 14oz denim and 21oz denim and the 17oz "N" denim may work also.

Neph thank you so much man I really appreciate this. Another guestion I have is about the length. I see on the shop stating that the 888 say on w36 an l35 is 8.6 inches wide at the hem. How much wider will it be at a length of 32 inches?

Here you go:
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9239.0so if I'm correct
36(inseam)-13=23
9.6(knee)-8.6(hem)=1
1(taper)/23(lower leg)=0.04
i want them around 32 inches of length so 36-32=4
so 4x0.04=0.16
and the hem would be 8.76? have i done it right? -
^^^They're long sleeve…
They are indeed. Apparently 11oz long sleeve sweaters are still summer gear in Osaka. They certainly are where I live [emoji1].
I commend anyone who doesn't melt, or at least sweat through those shirts in the generally hot and humid Osaka summers lol!
They're currently fluctuating between low to high 80's
