Sell me on heavyweight denim

[swiss-jeansfreak]

I like heavy weight denim because you have more time to receive heavy fadings and strong character on them till they'll falling apart completely

I totally respect where you're coming from Mega.

I used to feel as you did, until I tried Sugar Cane OKIs...

weirdly, I think they're tougher and more durable than 21-ozers.

Not all 14-15-oz are Sugar Cane OKI level tough, sure,

but let's say that Sugar Cane OKI was my lighter-weight denim

gateway drug, and I've grown to enjoy the lighter-weights since.

Don't get me wrong...I'm still a heavy-weight denim junkie too.

I've just grown to appreciate both.

+1.

My first two pairs of proper Japanese denim were the sc40300 & sc40301...but around 14.25 oz. I have never felt the need for heavier denim afterwards, though I do own many heavier pairs.

My local climate tends to discourage substantial clothing too

I didn't know that you were for sale, but i'm not sure that I'm the right one to sell you, nor do I have enough heavy denim to carry you upon to the market.

i just bought my first pair of selvage denim (momotaro 0701's) after 6 or so years of wearing tight black jeans by claude maus, april 77, acne etc. i was always interested in jp denim, but i guess it never really fit into most of my wardrobe and i never took the plunge until now. its taking some getting used to, but it feels so substantial and well made - i love them already. only bummer is i bought them just as its turning into summer.

would love to cop a pair of 21oz or anything heavier...been wearing 15oz for quite some time now

I like heavyweight denim, saving for the n&f .

It lasts forever.

I like this myth.

[Graytrain]

It makes you jump higher.

[Maynard Friedman]

Definitely not, with the extra weight you'll barely be able to leave the ground.

When you are hiding drugs or small knives from customs officials or the police, it makes it more difficult for them to frisk you.
