Hello I managed to get one of these from ebay yesterday ( sold out in my size). I down sized and went with small I’m 5’11 70 kgs and a 38”chest.The stitching and build quality are brilliant the only thing is the denim feels very light for 18 oz it feels more like your 14 oz. This is not a gripe just something I noticed probably because I own the older 19oz lefty which feels like 30oz.

Good to see you (looking good

).
Yeah fabric weight is weird. So much depends on the fibres, the weave, and the hand. The 19oz is gnarly and feels at least as hefty as XHS, while the 18oz is quite beautiful but as you say feels relatively light. I’ve just scored the SLB denim at 16oz and the uneven hand makes it feel heavier than it is.
