Similar thing just happened to me.
I ordered leather samples from Whites 3 months ago. A month went by and I hadn't received them yet so I contacted Whites. They said they had sent the package a month ago using USPS. They ended up sending another set using UPS and I got them a week later. Now, 3 months later the USPS package shows up looking like it's been to hell and back. Just contacted Whites and they said to keep them.
Bonus: There were 5-6 different leathers in the second set.
Urbs,
Any chance those samples included "black dress" and "black smooth"? Curious to know about the difference in thickness and shine between the two. I have a pair of White's made up with black smooth and they are rather dull in shine. -

Simply for discussions sake, and prompted by my noticing that my Momotaro tee has side seams, and my consideration of buying some 8301's.
How much actual value do people put in things like "loop wheeled" and "selvedge"? How does it affect your decision to purchase?
Also, is selvedge more important on jeans than a jacket?

8301s?…you know they´re pretty slim, don´t ya ^^
selvage is important for young guns that are just stepping up their denim game from nudie to their first pair of jap. denim...not really needed tbh. and i´m not looking for it, when buying a pair of jeans or a jacket!
it´s all about the fit baby...same with lw or not! not really looking for it...if the fit and feel is a great one, idgaf!

Found a pair of 8301's for reasonable cost, in my size. If they look like crap on me I will get the $ back in a heartbeat
My feelings are similar, not being loopwheeled does not make me like the Momo shirt any less, and lack of selvedge hasn't made me think about not buying the 8301's. Just wanted to know the opinion of others.
Thank you

where from? (pm!)

Selvedge is definitely a factor for me. After having it its difficult to go back to something that for me at least looks a lot less "clean."
Also, I'm not sure about loopwheeled. I sold my THC tee because I didn't like how it draped on me and I vastly preferred my loopwheeled iron heart one. I do have a true loopwheeled flat head tee on its way though so ill see if there is a different between feels in that company at least.
