Heh, actually being this stiff they never really cling to your skin. Makes for more air circulation around the jewels than other jeans I own

About the climate…
When I first spotted the 25oz in a shop in Singapore (Tuck Shop/Obbi Good) I asked the sales guy if people really seriously wear that kind of jeans in local weather.
First thing I got was a completely blank incomprehending look and then: "Errr, yes. We are free to wear what we want around here.". The guy didn't even realize that some people might find this a little warmish...

Started wearing these again for the first time in ages (6mth+). Moved to SE-Asia more than a year ago and needed some time to gather the courage to wear them in 30C/80% humidity but it's actually quite doable.
A lil irritated right now cause I need to readjust to the "leg shackle"-feel I get from a 25oz double cuff…

@deadendpro:

^ guess i'll be putting that on a list of things i need. thanks man.

Please don't. These are no hip hop Timberlands that need to be spotless and clean. Hawthornes (at least the Iron Rangers) NEED to look greasy.
Not the best pics but I think you can see what I mean:



Thes were never treated at all.

Let me rephrase: why would anyone want/need 25 oz denim? I love my 25 oz 634 to bits but even after a month of solid wear taking two steps at once on the stairs is difficult. Same goes for getting on/off a bike. 25 oz IS comfortable but it DOES impede movements so much that I would draw the line there.

@entropy:

ehhhh…why? (serious question)

Because these were at the limits of what is possible.  Indeed, we thought at one point the factory that does the weaving would say they just were not prepared to carry on.

"Too old for sneakers, too young to die"
Well kind of. The final decision for these fell, when I realized that among other things they are a brilliant substitute for sneakers in this colourway.

ehhhh…why? (serious question)

Mr. FedEx man was here.

These boots are beautifully crafted but surprisingly hefty/stiff. Will definitely need some breaking in which I did not expect.

Nice boots, but I'm afraid you will need something else if you intend to run around outside in a moscow winter.

Just ordered these babies:

I needed something that will work reasonably well in winter here and then for 3 years in SE Asia. I've never been so unsure about correct sizing when ordering online.
