What’s the most breathable denim?

I wore the 21oz 777 for year 2 and the 14oz 666ib for year 3 of the indigo invitational. I agree with a lot of the comments on here. The 21 felt breathable but it’s still heavy. The 14oz is not as breathable but it is lighter so it felt good in the same warmer temperatures. If I’m going to be in hot weather I think I would go with my 14oz. With all that being said, my 555 16oz feels really nice in hot weather as well. You’ll probably end up getting a pair in each weight in one or a few of your favorite fits like me. You can’t go wrong

@indigogera I haven’t worn the 14 or 21 oz as long, but my experience is the same: the 14 oz is very slightly cooler in the heat. That said, I live in an area with limited summer humidity and wind, and those factors may play into my experience.
Also agreed with those who find the 17 oz surprisingly wearable in the summer.

Between the 14 and 21.. although the 21 might be looser i share the same observations as stated above. Especially in a looser cut the 14oz feels less restricting if that makes any sense haha! So 25 degrees here and my 14oz broken twill will get broken in.. funny sentence

My 18 oz vintage 555’s felt more breathable than the 555 SLB.
