IH-666S-142bb - 14oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Black/Black

[pechelman]

The 14oz definitely feels more wind resistant than the 21 to me which means it also traps more heat and doesnt breathe as well. I've always assumed this was because thinner yarns used on the 14oz fabric can pack more tightly and be woven into a fabric that has less open area; similar to how there's more empty volume in a jar filled with oranges than there are with marbles. Maybe one of the IH crew can provide the real reason(s).

In general, the 14 also feels more hard-faced than 21 and has remained relatively crunchy/stiff even after ~6mo of wear on a jacket.  The 16oz slubs are the ones I'd look to for wanting to wear heavy denim in a hot climate if the 21's are too much.

As for why 14 over 21, because it's different?

I guess knowing what you want & what you're looking for in a pair of jeans would very much help. All I know is that I just love the feel of my IH 21s. I guess I'll just be getting another pair of the 21s after all. Cheers.

Did the inseam in these shrink at all when washed for anyone?

[Alex]

Not for me, but obviously the inseam is likely to decrease slightly when creases form behind the knees
