GREAT DENIM KIYA did they choose to go with 21oz unsanforized (shrinks to 23.5) because 23.5 oz sanforized is too heavy for the loom? that stitching has to go, I am kind of disappointed with it to the OP - I have a massive raw collection (from cheap oe 12oz to expensive 16oz kiahara based selvedge denim labels.) To be honest none of those jeans will last longer than 1-2 years with heavy wear especially without reinforcement.. The difference in quality of the actual denim is negligible between $50 and $200 jeans. Buying jeans you are paying for label, place of construction, detailing, fit and style foremost before the actual quality of the denim, which has little bearing on the industry. These labels would not be in business if a person could wear the same jeans for 5+ years. At the end, denim is denim, no matter how expensive or heavy it is it breaks down and wears out faster than you'd think.. and you'll have a huge hole in your crotch before you know it and it will make you angry (although that IH 23oz denim looks really promising.)

I actually underwent a freshman negative fifteen. My APCs were falling off of me (they were only mildly snug after hot wash + hot tumble dry), so I had to get a new pair of jeans. I hope the same doesn't happen with my Skulls. (Three months and going strong)
