SExIH07 Jeans (Indigo, Black)

Wow. Thanks for the responses. This sure is an active forum!
I didn't expect anyone to be that geeky about the differences in the denim to experiment with them; just thought it would be cool. Obviously everyone wears their jeans differently, and even the same person wouldn't produce the same fades on different pairs of jeans.
I suppose that the 19oz denim is fairly similar to the 21oz denim then, and will produce lovely classic IH fades.
BTW, thanks Beatle for doing such a wicked job of photographing your jeans. I hope to wear mine someday as well as you are wearing yours!

just a weird question that i could be completely wrong about, but i'm sure someone will know.
i know that a sanforized jean is essentially just denim that's gone through the shrink to fit process by way of a treatment. if a jean is STF, when the shrinkage is done is the denim technically the same ounce denim?
ie- is the 19oz denim on these jeans still considered 19oz, or does it become heavier(?) like the 634SR?
-
Others will have more info on this since I'm still not totally clear/have forgotten the details, but using your example with the 634SR… the 21/23 oz. designation is pre and post soak. Really heavy denim.
Basically I understand it to be that once the denim shrinks, the denim compresses and more 'fits' into a square yard, which is the standard dimension at which it's weight is taken.

the 19oz denim weighs apprx. 21 after soak.
(stf - shrink to fit - a jeans that is made of raw denim)
the answer i was looking for. thanks beats!

X-post, but just to get them in the rightful place for all to see!

After roughly three months of wear?

ok… big question... how do you like the fit Simon? ???
-
Been wearing for about 3 months now, about two thirds of the time. With the heat of this summer being ridiculous, these buggers smelled pretty awful, so I decided a wash was necessary. Pre wash pics.
