Recommend me a heavyweight denim 20oz PLUS
-
Evenin'
Hopefully not a question asked a million times before, but just wanted to see if anyone could recommend me a currently available heavy weight selvedge jean?I have had my eye on the 21oz IronHeart 555, or 666, but the UK exchange rates have really pushed up the price to close to £300 which I am not sure if I can justify at the moment.
I was going to jump on the Naked and Famous Elephant 6 but for some reason I didnt… I deeply regret this as they were stunning value...
I have pondered the Unbranded but I generally find their rise a little low and generally the lack of detailing makes for a dull jean....
Oh.... and probably a slimmer cut like the Levi's 511!
My raw denim experience is limited, I have had: Hiut Organic Hack, Hiut Selvedge Slimmr, Levi 511 Selvedge, and some Unbranded Black UB155.
Any thoughts?
Best regards,
Chris -
Have you looked in to Oni at all? They make some heavier weight fabrics.

Only one supplier in the UK by the looks of it, Son of a Stag?

Hi Chris! Dude get a pair of 777 XHS 25oz. You won't be disappointed. They completely destroy any other brand or denim. They literally are a must own experience.
No offense, but N&F and the rest are pretty "meh" compared to Iron Heart 25oz. The 777 cut is the slimmest cut next to the 555 available in the 25oz denim. They fade great and will give your legs a workout breaking them in. Don't wash them for as long as possible and you're guaranteed great fades and a comfy pair of jeans that feels like rough sex on your legs. I'm not kidding and using hyperbole They are the very best. If your size isn't available fill out the form and save your money. It is worth it!

didn't @DevonReviewer say that the prices of IH denim are out of his price range right now and he's looking for an alternative? Unless I misunderstood him. That's the only reason I recommended the Oni's otherwise I would say grab a pair of the 21oz IH.

he said he couldn't justify it.
Heavy denim on the cheap end, I'd recommend these. http://www.sage.gs/shop/bottoms/everbeast-25oz-unsanforized-deep-indigo/
I always see them on Heddles and probably would get a pair if I wasn't such an Iron Heart fanboy. They are like $150 and they have some pretty decent fades and look pretty well-made.

Lately , when I go to jeans shop in Bloomingdales , Nordstrom and other jeans shops, I immediately look at other denim fabric , stitching and inside /outside details and compare with IH, I shake my head and regret why so late to found the beauty of Iron heart

Thanks , one small issue . My wife is little overwhelmed with the new condition of 25oz jeans . She never seen or felt 25oz denim before . The jeans make little sound when I move on bed . I bet couple of weeks of use will eliminate the noise and bring the softness .

Wow, never heard of Sage before. Interesting.
@DevonReviewer if I misunderstood your initial post then I have to say that hands down a pair IH heavy denim is the way to go. I thought you were asking for cheaper alternatives to IH. I'm not sure what the definition of heavy is to you but for me I would say it's 18oz and up. With that being said I would recommend the 21oz flagship fabric for a good starter pair but the 19oz left hand twill is probably my favorite right now. Keep in mind I do not own the UHR or 25oz fabrics so I can't speak on those but I'm sure there are great like the other guys have said. Either way you can't go wrong with a pair of IH jeans no matter what fabric you pick.

hahaha yeah they sound like a freight train clacking or something. Tell her 2 months and they get more quiet.

I don't know if I'm man enough to handle the 25oz lol. I own a pair of 26oz from another brand and although I know the fabric isn't IH quality I just had to give up on them. Plus they don't fit me anymore.

You owe it to yourself to get a pair of Iron Heart 25 oz! Those Pronto collaborations are looking quite fab. I can't wait to get.a pair. The heavy gauge stitching looks awesome on those (and on the inside if they are anything like the other 25ozs) and the fabric is sure to be amazing. The regular 25 oz is so heavy and soft much like the flagship 21 is, just with one more weft yarn per stitch. These are likely to be the most epic Iron Hearts there has been so far. @manufc10

depending on what your size is, the aforementioned Pronto have a generous top block and get slim past the knee to a smaller leg opening. According to the measurements the fit is somewhere between the 777 and the 666. It's like a 666 with a higher rise and a smaller leg opening. As far as I can tell by the measurements posted.
