A 21 oz yard of denim will shrink when washed to a density of 23 oz but a smaller area. To have one yard of 23 oz material you will need to start with a bigger 21 oz of material in the beginning as its density increases as it shrinks.

I believe @motojobobo and @Jett129 are both correct, if I’m reading their responses correctly.

Hopefully my response makes some sense.

Perhaps this is oversimplifying the answer, but I know the anniversary UHF was slightly heavier in weight due to the over dying of a light gray. Perhaps the same is true for the OD 21oz denim?

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle Is your question: If you have two identical yards of fabric in both weight and density, does it change the weight of one of them if it’s over-dyed?

[Mizmazzle]

@goosehd essentially. I’ve noticed my new 666 21oz SBGs are noticeably lighter than my year old 888 21oz ODs. Thought it was interesting so I posted here wondering what people thought.

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle So you have two different cuts and two different treatments with the only common variable being that the density of the material is 21 oz per yard.

So are you asking about the weight difference between the two pairs or a density difference between the two fabrics?

I was just curious about how the fabric feels heavier with more of a drape on the OD compared to the SBG.

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle So you’re making the observation that OD is denser in feel and appearance than SBG, and you’re wondering if anyone else has noticed it?

Denim is the tits. That is all.

[goosehd]

@neph93 Which ones are you talking about?

[Mizmazzle]

It was just supposed to be a fun topic to discuss if others feel the weight of the OD fabric feels heavier than the SBG. My first SBG so I was curious.

[goosehd]

Ok, I’m checking out on this one…

[Mizmazzle]

@neph93 I agree 100%!! I just love talking about it in all it’s nuances!!

[Jett129]

I have a pair of the OG 777XHS and a pair of the Pronto XHS jeans,and I’d swear that the Prontos are different,ever so slightly lighter than the OG 777s. Who knows what happened the day that each of these denims was woven. It’s like you have 2 kids,exact same DNA,but different as night and day,and both equally great in their own right.

@motojobobo said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:

My understanding of the 21/23 oz UHR beefing up is that it occurs on fabric on a ‘per area’ basis. Since your pair of jeans probably shrunk after the wash, I doubt they would become heavier jeans.

@motojobobo is correct and that is also why the anny Ultra Heavy Flannel is heavier per square yard. Overdyeing also causes shrinkage, so more cotton is in a square yard.....

@goosehd - childish…

Silly rabbits… not birds. Gorgeous perfectly formed TITS!

Like these:

@neph93 We all look like that. It’s just lighting, angles, special lenses, genetics, commitment, time, money, steroids, not drinking beer, not eating cheeseburgers, donairs, kebabs, and pizza

Feck it, I’ll never look like that…

@goosehd - get with it…have you not heard of FILTERS…?
