But isn't that a bit of an overkill having 16 and 18 oz vintage denims which are almost identical?
Having had the 18oz Vintage and now having the 16oz Vintage there is definitely enough difference to justify both. The 16oz gets much softer much quicker than the 18oz Vintage (I’ve worn my 16oz 666’s less than 3 full days and they are MUCH softer already than my 18oz were after 30 wears. The 16oz seems to have a bit less character as well, not in a bad or boring way, it’s just less slubby than my 18oz Vintage 666’s were. I could definitely see myself justifying having both.

I just got a pair of these in 38 and they fit perfectly. Can't wait to rock them once I get them hemmed a couple inches. It's shocking how light they feel after wearing my 21 oz 301s for the past month. Perfect warm weather jeans.

Any wear pics?
About to give mine their first wash after a few months.

Nice! Shame I never got to try this denim…
The denim is a really unique shade of blue and they're easily the most breathable pair of jeans I currently own. The little bits of vertical lines coming in are my favorite aspect of the fades so far. I'll be sad when it gets cooler and I switch to heavier weight denim. These are THE summer pair of Iron Heart, in my opinion.

I have to wonder why it didn't find much traction.
Especially since it’s really the only IH denim that’s comfortable above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. I wish I had bought a backup pair of 666’s.
