Heavy, rough, raw denim

[wing_nutone]

Okay, so I'm looking for the heaviest jeans out there. I need them heavier than 14 oz, which is about as heavy as I can find. I don't want them treated or anything. I just want them stiff as a board. Anyone know who sells them?

Thanks!

I believe Samurai's 19oz jeans are stiffer than ironheart, which I think are surprisingly soft for 21oz denim?

dontcaretoomuchforcrap CANT SKATE!!

[danzarrella]

I just got a pair of sd-103's from americaya.

not quite 21 or 19oz, but it is 15oz and pretty damn heavy.

[snugglepony]

on a semi-related note, does anyone know of a somewhat reliable way to estimate denim weight after the fact? like, say, i have a pair of jeans that are old favorites, and i like the weight of the denim... is there a way to measure threads per inch - or something along those lines - and be able to say, "these jeans are made of 15.5oz denim, approximately?"

[asfberg]

i've got the samurai 19oz and the sd-103's

the sda's are somewhat heavy and stiff but not rough at all

haven't seen the iron heart in person

while they are heavier from what i've heard they're much softer and smoother

samurai 19oz are extremely rough and stiff

so are the different 17oz models they have

starch them and they stay that way

[WhoGotMeIntoThis]

WOW...does anybody on here own any of the Iron Heart stuff? 21 oz. denim seems, in the words of Kixslf, like wearing a fucking blanket.

I wonder how they'd wear...awfully spendy as well.

[Stuffed Tongues]

definitely friendly to humid east coast summers.

grimey retarded

[rabka]

how much are samurais....and where can i find em in the nyc area or online

ak

[minya]

Can't buy the Samurais in the USA. Gotta go through a proxy buying service, like www.celga.com or something similar.

[hahnstch]

samurai is the shit. hands down. "ruff and tuff like leather"

get the 19 oz ones, like the jin and the zero

I thought that Mauro at Denim Bar had them... could be wrong though. Worth giving him a call in any case...

[ddohnggo]

what other japanese denim brands do heavy weight denim?

[ringring]

Studio D'Artisan make a 21oz, Denime make a 19oz, and plenty of other japanese brands make heavyweight jeans (although not many reach the heights of 19-21oz).

Try Warehouse Duckdigger. Nice and rough. Beautiful denim.

[danzarrella]

I also just got myself a pair of duckdigger 1900's.

Single back pocket, back strap'n'suspenders' buttons, soo slubby its rough, but the denim is much lighter than the 15oz sd denim.

I got these as "Deadstock" from the showcase in an extremely cool thrift store in small town in southern japan. I'm not sure how old they are, as I can find very little info on the 1900's, it doesn't actually say 1900 on it but I think I've figured out thats what they are.

[hahnstch]

^ damn, any pics?

yea i own a pair of the 30s duckdigger, they are very slubby. on a side note, farmer jeans also do some 21 oz denim. search "farmer jeans" at rakuten

[danzarrella]

yeah they're here: [url=" http://www.superfuture.com/city/supertalk/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=9101"] <a href="http://www.superfuture.com/city/supertalk/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=9101" target="_blank">http://www.superfuture.com/city/supertalk/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=9101</a>

hey guy - wouldn't mind to see how the ironhearts are looking now

[Guest Guy H]

I'll sort some pics over the next couple of days. They are not showing much wear yet though. a bit round the crotch, back pockets etc but that's about it.

[Edge_Of_Denim]

ringring, those 1950's Warehouse look great. Is "1950" like magic, or something? All 1950's styles look damn good, hmmm...I love how dark the indigo is. That would be another bid-service deal I guess, yes?

[pacioli]

Can anyone point me to a pair of heavy Samurais that aren't so high rise and cut slimmer? I like slim or slight bootcuts. Doesn't have to be dry.

[asfberg]

iron hearts are slim cut, not high rise and you can buy them directly from ironheart.co.uk

[sbrguy]

so those ironhearts are more of a slim cut? do you mean like a 501 or even slimmer or are they just not baggy?

i'm thinking of getting a pair of them but the waste measurments offered on their site show that the 30s are actaully 30 inches and i measured a pair of nudies i have that are 29 and the inner measuremeunt is 32 inches, strange...

can anyone post pictures of what these look like worn? thanks... i did a search couldn't find anything.

Those where the first pair I got of 34's that I had changed for a size 36. Ironheart.co.uk have the actual sizes on their site and it's really useful. I had one of the first pairs in the Uk from there before the site was running.

Guy H , nice slubby jeans. so you had to go a size on the Ironhearts? They will probably be my next purchase.

[asfberg]

are they slubby? looks kind of a tight weave in the pics

guy - do you have any recent shots (those above are the ones you posted a while ago right?)

[Guest Guy H]

Yeah I did. I'm normally a 34 in most jeans but had to get a 36 in these. I'll try get some more pics tomorrow night.

the size guide on the site is useful as I say.
