But I guess you wouldn't question IH and their advertisement of weight?!
The brand you are talking about is called "Fearless", AFAIK. There is a thread here about the RNB-125 (or something like that) -
Yes, it was Fearless. Though I clearly remember one Lightning Mag where a Heavy weight denim was "officially" measured and was at 30 oz. Maybe Eight G. But, if somebody needs a number to show how tough he is, then I don't know what do say. I wouldn't care if any of my jeans would weigh less than stated, or more. What difference does is make, when the rest is perfect?
Anyway, I took the time to do some shots - compared to 15,7 oz Momotaro denim and (last picture) 21/23oz Samurai denim. I really love the fabric, would love to have a tote bag or other stuff made out of it.

I have recalled reading weighings on here of IH denim also. I don't purchase denim based on weight, regardless of brand (FYI I'm rotating SDA, Sugar Cane, and Iron Heart equally).
My point really was around product vs marketing vs gimmick and their intersection. Exploded;
- Good Marketing
- Good Construction/Product
- Gimmick or not, the first 2 trump this.
- Develops interest for the industry
- All win, All are happy
@Max I love the second last picture; seriously thick!!!!

@Max:

that summarizes it perfectly for me

Not really, some guys like knives not to feel tough just because they like knives, same here. I like heavy denim, and I like to know how heavy the denim is, simply because I do and not because it makes my metaphoric penis and larger, I just like to know.

- It's not my thing, but they're not my jeans. I prefer my jeans to smell like stale beer and farts.
Love this guy

I would. We always underestimate…..
-
My point was, the minute another brand claims to be heavier than Ironheart, nearly everyone doubts it. As it would be some kind of lese majesty to use a heavier denim than Ironheart. The 32oz N&F is heavier…but does that make it a better denim? No. There are so many more factors that defines a nice/great denim, not just the mere weight of it.
That's all
-
I don't think it has anything to do with them being heavier than IH… At least not for me... You seem to think of us as braindead IH fanboys of some kind...
There are a lot of reasons why I hate this particular brand, but out of respect for the people on here who wear them, I'll keep it to myself...
-
I'm not a N&F fan either…
But the weight discussion also comes up with other brands (e.g. Fearless and Eight-G)
-
I find it odd that clothing brands have fans, surely they're clothes, it's just a preference to your taste and needs

:o

Well, the infamous Naked & Famous 32 oz …
They are really heavy like they must. Denim is heavier then 25oz IH, but not so thick, dense and solid.
A curiosity:
they are not chain-stitched, not the waistband, not the hem
It's simply IMPOSSIBLE.
And here's plain me with those monsters:
-
Cool pics man. Those are crazy heavy!
-
I gotta admit, I considered trying to convince Julie to buy a pair, just so I could check out the denim on these. I admire N&F's willingness to try damn near anything in a pair of jeans.
