Circus marquee/thick jeans. They almost stood up on their own when I took them off after first trying them. They just creased at shin height and fell down, but everything else was rigid.thekungfury wrote:Damien Thorn wrote:I've run up and down the stairs a few times in them and they are just exactly like thick jeans.
That surprises me. Mine were as malleable as the fabric used on a circus marquee. Squatting was difficult.
Mine are barely fading btw. They still look like smart jeans after a year.
I don't know of any 32oz ones Freddie, but if they exist they must surely be the heaviest denim you could wear!Freddie wrote:Damien Thorn wrote:They actually seem mostly fine!
I've tried them on and they fit really well. I asked for them to be hemmed to a 32" inseam, which UB do for free - and they've even for some reason included the bits they cut off to do so.
I've run up and down the stairs a few times in them and they are just exactly like thick jeans. I've cuffed the bottom of the leg with a single turnup and you can notice how thick the fabric is there because they're sort of rolled up rather than turned with a flat fold.
Also, when I put my hands in my pockets I scrapped my knuckles against the pocket seam where it's double thickness, so that's a bit ridiculous.
They're labelled as a 'skinny' fit, but their skinny is just a regular slim I think. The fabric is quite shiny due to the really close weave, but otherwise, fine.

Stupid question from someone who buys 501s, is 32oz selvedge the heaviest?

Just found these. http://www.nakedandfamousdenim.com/sing ... EDGE-DENIM I think you should be our tester, DT.
Even creator Brandon Svarc gave them the tagline of “Guaranteed uncomfortable or your money back,” mocking anyone who thought themselves up to the task of taming these two-pound pants of insanity.
The fabric is made using the thickest yarns sized 1 and 0.5 which is the same used to make heavy carpet or sailboat sails

I did think that but needed to check. My sense of complicated wearing of jeans was tingling again.

My UB are something months old now (18?) but they’ve barely faded. I still haven’t darned the holes on the Howies pair and annoyingly I’ve managed to blow the crotch on another pair of Levi’s. I only realised this last week when I went to a school assembly and was sat at the back on a chair and could feel a cold breeze. Luckily a teste didn’t drop out in front of the kids.

So they're basically a water-activated timestinkbomb?
Damien Thorn wrote:I've been wearing my 21oz Unbranded jeans for a few months now, long enough that they don't feel weird or horrid any more but just like really brilliant jeans. They've broken in wonderfully but don't really show any fades yet. This is probably because they haven't been washed yet I expect, and will lose loads of indigo in the wear areas as soon as they are.
