IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

[JunkPants]

@pechelman I've gotten so much useful information from this forum, happy to contribute where I can!

@ junkpants. The od version of this jacket is easier to deal with. Softens up faster. Its a gorgeous jacket. And getting pants in this denim is a no brainer.

@JunkPants the jeans are not as stiff and crunchy as the jacket. The fabric is very comfortable and less stiff than a 25oz for example. Good evening everyone

@Luijim78 Is there a reason for this? Different version of LHT?

[Kasi]

There is no reason for this
I have the jeans and jacket

It’s make like this.

I think it would painfully for the legs

@yannis I agree, I've only had the 526LOD for a few days, I've only worn it twice because of the heat, but it's really comfortable and easy to wear. The indigo 526L is in armor, after 4/5 months of discontinuous use it still stands on its own , I love it . The jeans, I have a pair of 666 19oz Lefty indigos and they too like the OD are very comfortable and easy to break, much less demanding than a 25oz.

[Luijim78]

@Kasi yes I think this is exactly the reason, stiff like the jacket would be really difficult to wear

@yannis I'm sure it's much softer. I have a few OD items and the feel is certainly unique, and a large part of the charm. That said, I love the crisp feeling of the 526L. In general the crisper/tougher the denim the more I seem to like it. Let's see, maybe I'll do like @Daniel-San and get the OD as well. (It's starting to get fairly crowded with jackets here though).

And I seem to remember your posts in one of the 19L jeans threads @yannis speaking highly of it! Hopefully it will be restocked in the 777 or 555 in the near future. XHS has been my clear favourite so far.

[JunkPants]

@Luijim78 Have to admit, I was hoping the jeans would have some of that rigidity and stiffness! Love XHS, and found them quite comfortable right away.

@JunkPants
The od is sensational, dig those blue and black shades !
Don’t think too much, buy

[yannis]

Over time the 25oz becomes softer than the 19L. The 19L remains crunchier and even when it softens up its a different kind of soft. More leathery instead of thick sweatpants

[JunkPants]

@Daniel-San Haha, maybe it is just that simple?

[JunkPants]

@yannis That sounds great, I think I would really enjoy a pair. Thank you for the descriptive words!

[yannis]

No problem mate

[Luijim78]

@JunkPants yes I too, I bought them hoping for greater rigidity, but as Kasi said, it would probably have been too difficult to wear them.

7 months now

Epic work of art @kasi !!!

So are 19L jeans still the most comparable to the 19L jacket...? Or is there a stiffer / crispier jean denim out there?

[flannel slut]

A noobs two cents but I do own the jacket and a pair of 888s & 634s; same fabric used in the pants as in the jacket but naturally the break-in comes easier with the pants. 19Ls V crispy but I would say the UHR, w its extra 4oz, tops em

[Setanta]

@flannel-slut Thank you, much appreciated! Was fluctuating between the 19oz and 25oz and overlooked the UHR..
