IH-777S14-OD - Overdyed 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered
-
@RoxRocks86 the OD process does soften the fabric up.

@Roxrocks86 are you a tailor ? The way you taper the pants looks very professional

thanks @Mustafa911 but no i’m not a tailor by any means. I’m just petite and prefer not to shop in the kids section. Mostly learned through YouTube and google.

Finally grabbed me some of this 14oz OD denim, but in 633 cut. So glad I did and hoping I can rock these jeans for most of spring and summer along with the 18oz vintage without sweating my ass off!
Super comfy and good amount of stretch to this fabric, can't wait to see proper aging from someone!

@Giles I have the Brown Whipcord 32w that fit perfect…would a 32w of the 777S14OD fit just st as good?
Help is appreciated

The «Compare Sizing» function is an excellent resource for working that kind of thing out. Just search for the relevant products and click «Add to Compare». Enjoy!

@Giles Thanks…looks like 33w would work and if course they are sold out?
-
@Alex Different how…if I may ask?
-
Still overdyed and same measurements?
Sounds good…I’ll keep an eye out
Thank You

They will be restocked fairly soon, but in a slightly different version of the 14oz denim.
Nice.

The denim is now made with twisted double yarn weft like that used in our 21oz
@Alex What does having a twisted double yarn weft mean? Can you give an idea how this will make the new denim different to the current 14oz OD denim?
I'm struggling to decide between the IH-777S-14OD and the IH-888S-OD. I like both fits, and feel that each cut is perfect for the different weights of each pair.
My hesitation in the 777 comes from the fact that I worry I wont be able to get distinct creases / high contrast fades with the 14oz OD denim in a pair of jeans. I own a IHxPxT1 type I jacket and have been able to get crisp stacks due to the tight fit of the arms when worn over a hoodie. However, I like my jeans relatively loose, and all the photos I've seen of this model in jeans haven't had much in the way of crisp creases or distinct fades.
Has anyone been able to get crisp creases / high contrast fades in a pair of 14oz OD denim jeans? Photos would be awesome if available.
My hesitation in the 888 is that I worry it will be too thick to wear in the Australian summer. I have unsanforized PBJ 18oz jeans I wear in summer due to their loose weave. Can someone advise me on what IH 21oz OD denim is like in hot weather?
The answer is to just get both, and I may end up doing just that. However, my marriage might not survive if I do, so I'd love some advice.

Double twisted yarn in the weft makes the denim stronger but also more supple. We'll tell you in a year or so what difference it makes in the fade characteristics.
I don't believe you will achieve high contrast fades with any of our overdyed denim, the od dyes the core of the warp and obviously the weft.

Thanks @Giles.
You've got some examples of IH-634S-B in your gallery that I'd describe as having high contrast fades. That's the type of fades I was referring to anyway. Obviously a lighter denim is generally going to crease and fade less distinctly than heavier denim like that 21oz example. I'll have to get a pair of updated IH-777S14-OD when they are released to see what can be done.

@flooded the 21oz fabric is very doable in warm climates. I live in Arizona and I can wear the 21oz fabric 6-9 months out of the year. I would say at minimum you can get 4-6 months wear per year on the conservative side…all depending on your personal tolerance to heat and your climate. YMMV.
As for the 14oz Indigo you can get very nice fades IMO. Unfortunately I sold my first pair because I outgrew them but they were coming along very nicely. My current pair have two solid months of wear and no washes so theres nothing impressive yet in terms of fading but I can post a pic for you if you want to show how the combs are forming up nicley. Again, this is the Indigo fabric not the overdye. I think overall my advice for you if you're going for fades/contrast would be to size on the tighter side with the 14oz fabric...in other words, get the 777 cut.
