IHSH-409-IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo/Black

[Oaktavia]

@RoxRocks86 here are some photos from early this morning comparing four different weights of indigo/black denim.

We have the:

14ozib Western
19ozib CPO
21ozib 777
25ozib 888

All of which have different tones of indigo and black. Different textures and feel to the touch. Different weaves and breathability, yet they all have similarities. From my eyes, the 19oz looks more warm toned with hints of violet and is less dark when brand new compared to the others.

@Oaktavia holy mother of jeansus.

@Oaktavia
great pics mate
the 777ib are awesome

[Karol]

@Oaktavia those are the inspiring photos I needed.

@Oaktavia - you have made my day. And made me regret not picking up a pair of 21ibs when I had the chance.

[Fadez]

I haven’t drooled over indigo in a while. This made me Yeah. I’m gonna have to make some room in my closet for this one

[WhiskeySandwich]

Yeah dude, those 21ib are killer.

[Oaktavia]

Glad y'all liked the photos, it was fun laying them all out. My plan as of now is to heavily wear both the 396 and 888XHSib this fall/winter. I'm super stoked to see how each of them evolve in their own ways. Still plan to wear the 16oz SBG western here and there when I can as well.

@Daniel-San how have you been enjoying your 21ozib pair? In heavy rotation or is there a different pair you favor?

@WhiskeySandwich they are tough to fade, have you any XHSib? If not, I highly recommend them and personally prefer that denim over 21ozib.

@Fadez glad I could bring you back to it. You should defo pick up one when they drop. Hope you've been good lately my guy.

[RoxRocks86]

Killer seeing the different weights of ib denim next to each other and how different they all are. Also pretty sweet seeing the different fade stages you have on all of them

[Oaktavia]

@RoxRocks86 right on dude, thanks for reminding me to take photos of them all. As it happened, the lighting was pretty okay this morning.

@Oaktavia ya know, I’ve played with the idea of getting some XHS, and if I did, I think ib would be the one. The main thing that’s stopped me is worries about wearability and versatility. My next pair of jeans is def the 21od, but I’ll reevaluate and consider it next time the xhsib comes around.

[BlueBlood]

Hell yeah, I’m excited to see this. Nobody fades IH tops like @Oaktavia.

I’ll probably end up going with the 16 oz SBG CPO, but I still have serious academic interest in the evo of this fabric.

@Oaktavia
Wear mine in rotation with UHR and 666-21L at the moment, depending on temperatures . Guess around 40 wears at the moment, fades slowly starting but nothing spectacular at this point.

It depends on what you are after and what you deem as comfortable. I personally am after high contrast, heavy fades when I wear XHSib. This does not necessarily mean comfort and versatility for everyone. I for one find XHS to be super cozy off the bat but I am a bit of a masochist. They do eventually become amazingly comfortable in due time. On the other hand, the 21ozod will provide comfort, while giving off more muted fades that could be contrast-y given the wear it deserves.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia i can dig it dude. I really like a 21oz for the fades they produce, and for the colder season. Something about the heft when it's nice and soft... and I find the weight practical for all of my activities. I do think it'd be good to have a pair of XHS one day, but first I gotta get on these ODs, the 16oz SBG CPO, and a new UHF! lol
I'm sure if I can catch a break between other purchases and they're available with good measurements, I'll pick up a pair. I do enjoy a challenging break-in and I'm sure the result is worth the struggle.

great photos is an understatement @Oaktavia. The setting reminds me of Beetlejuice's homeland.
