Are the Zimbs that great? My favorite denim are my Oni 517. Trying to decide between Zimbs and some Iron Heart IxI or something from Ciano. If price isn't the concern, then go iron heart. The wait will be longer for Ciano, but if he has a fabric you like, you can't go wrong if you don't mind waiting, and you'll pay a more than fair price. If you want some solid denim, and don't mind a slightly shorter wait, the Zimbabwe will be perfectly good, especially if you already know your way around gustin sizing. In other words, you can't really go wrong with any of your choices, you just need to decide what's highest priority.

Yeah, I have had experience with all 3 brands, but I don't currently own any Iron Heart. Everyone talks about Zimbs like they're this magical thing, and they look nice, but I'm having a hard time thinking they're as cool as a pair of Onis or PBJs, or even some of G's other offerings like the J17 or the Big Slub.

Go with the IH. I have the Zim's. The beauty in them is how they wear. So if you don't wear them frequently it'll take awhile to see them patina. The IH will give you something interesting from day one. Then in time grab a pair of Zim's

It still will probably be a live action version of the itchy and scratchy show. FWIW, wood fibers (and bamboo) can make for luxuriously soft fabric. The nicest (and the costliest), most perfect bedding I've ever had the pleasure of knowing have been made of "wood pulp" but I've also felt plenty of soft/comfy linens derived of bamboo (typically actually a bamboo rayon, which may feel soft but is not nice). Note: I'm not cosigning on the proposed jeans, though.

Or go with Momotaro. Different fits, sanforized and unsanforized, amazing details and quality.

If you are referring to the battle stripes, those come in white and "stealth" (blue owl collab, actually looks good, much nicer than IH, for example, in my opinion). However, are you aware that the battle stripes are only featured on some models?

What is your issue with Momotaro back pockets? I don't like the looks of the battle stripes. I'm aware they are not on all models but I was under the impression that they are on most models.

Like the colors on the long sleeve t's and hey, long sleeve t's! What I don't like is that the neck looks stretched out. Size down for a more fitted neck and suddenly you've got a 3/4 tee.
Life is hard.

Dat Chocolate Midnight Flannel doh..they are nailing the fabrics, but not until next week will I consider them.
That CPO is an abomination. Should add it to that thread we have with the abominations.

That CPO is horrendous. Kind of reminds of the Baja Stripe Shirts by Taylor Stitch.
