IH-634S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

@the246guy I think you're going to be warm in any denim in 30°c+ temperatures!

The 14oz is definitely breathable and a great option for spring and cooler summer days

[the246guy]

This arrived today and I guess the fit is more or less the same as the 666, except that it is a bit wider and I like it the way it is. It is definitely lighter in feel and I'm super excited that I can wear IH gear even in warmer temperatures.

I have a question on the stretch factor of this denim. Right now, it fits about just perfect on the waist, while the other measurements are also about perfect. Will there be any shrinkage post wash / soak? Again, do I first soak and then wear?

[Alex]

@the246guy That sort of info is always on the product pages, in this case:

Sanforized and one-washed - little to no shrinkage to be expected.
The waist will stretch out approximately one inch with wear
Other dimensions will stretch proportionately to the waist (if under similar tension)

[the246guy]

Ah! I forgot to read through that standard description. Thanks @Alex

So effectively the denim behaves the same as the other heavy weight denims. This is good enough for me. Guess I have nailed the size this time.

[the246guy]

I'm wearing the 634 today and I'm absolutely in love with this fit. The pictures did not do justice until now where I was of the impression that it would be too relaxed for a fit, but I was wrong. I like the 634 even more than the 666 cut. The top block is the most comfortable part of this denim. I'm now afraid that I have to rebuild my wardrobe with 634 everywhere.

[the246guy]

I like the crispness of this denim. Is this comparable to the crispness of the UHR? For how long will this stay like this? The XHS after just a few days of wear have become so soft. I guess these will remain crispier for longer time. Am I correct?

[AdamJ]

@the246guy The 14oz selvedge denim is not comparable to the UHR in my opinion. The UHR stays stiffer for longer, and has a noticeably tougher break in period.

It all depends on how much you wear them. If you wear them every day for a fortnight and give them a decent wash at the end of it, they'll begin to the soften up in no time.

[the246guy]

Lighter fabric equals quick wear and tear? Is this correct? Reason is, I'm wearing my 14oz for just 2 weeks and I can already see some good amount of wear around the hem, while it took few months for my heavier fabrics to show some wear around the hem.

[Giles]

The 14oz denim produces more pronounced roping, hence the increased indigo loss on the high points at the hem

I have signed up to be notified, but are these going to be restocked soon?

For those of you who own the 14 oz broken twill and these … how do they compare? Is it worth owning both.

I have the broken twill and love them. Thinking of adding these.

[AdamJ]

@Brandrea I think @Steve has both. I've only had 142bb in the past, but my wearing broken twill 555 right now, it's got a little more 'character' in my opinion but the 14oz is still a solid choice

[Steve]

@AdamJ @Brandrea I've only the 14oz, not the broken twill unfortunately, but can recommend the 14oz as AJ says, they are a solid choice - which I rotate with my 21s

Thanks a lot Adam … I’ll ponder next steps
