I'll be blunt - I'm not much of a slub person. But got notice that a local stockist was getting this in, and had to go check it out in person (local IH stockists are new to me too.)
I walked out with a pair. Absolutely stoked on them. They're quite airy and light compared to the 21oz, which is to be expected. Otherwise, they're fitting well enough I suspect they'll be getting the bulk of my attention in terms of wear time.
Those wash photos make me even more glad I picked up a pair.
I'm not much of a slub person myself but Im still considering picking up a pair of these in the future so I appreciate the input. Too much intensity in a slubby fabric can be a bit too much visually for me and I feel like these are right on the brink of that. I've looked at as many pics as I can of this fabric but the only way for me to truly tell will be to see them in person.
These are still quite intense to my eyes, but I do feel like they calm down a little when wearing them vs. laying flat.
I find a lot of construction details on other slubby denim to be a turn off for me. At that price point, there shouldn't be rips in stitching, or curly pockets. The IH have none of those flaws, even after looking over two pairs in my size in person. It's the quality we expect from IH, but it's another reason I finally purchased a pair of slubby denim. Though, I fully anticipate my 21oz will still get the majority of my wear time, and still be my travel pair of denim.
