i understand the weight of levi's 501's varies across the globe, and, considering they're the jeans i normally wear (am in the UK) i'm wondering how the weight of the MIJ selvedge and the newer (currently listed) selvedge compares? personally, i find the weight of the 501's has diminished over the years and i'm trying to figure out if continuing to buy them (i get through a pair every 18 months usually, due to blown crotch and frayed hems) is a false economy. selvedge is typically a little too expensive as a blind buy, particularly if importing, but i'd consider some uniqlo's as a trial, even at £70 for the MIJs they'd be little more than 501s are at the most cost-effective outlets.
i've emailed uniqlo to ask the weight of these new ones, if nobody knows yet - i've not had a reply, so can't share that at this time.

as far as i can tell, 501's hover around a similar weight, with slight variation. hesitation is that selvedge jeans i've liked the look of can be 21 ounce, which i'm guessing would affect more that just the fit and look, but the lastability, which is my major concern.
