        @Matt @Fadez buy some oxi, spray it on raw raw and rub, then runde. Repeat a couple of times, then wash. I haven’t met a stain that can’t be shifted with oxi.

          dang, lost another post to glitch....retry...

          I know OD jeans are just regular indigo/white that have taken a hot dye bath, but do they generally come from the same batch as the indigo? Is there like a double size batch of indigo ordered then it's split and some are OD'ed and sold as such? What i'm getting at: if they're from the same batch, could the OD be assumed to have stated as the same measurements as the indigo? Could one assume the end result of stretch would end up around the same as a non-OD'ed pair? I ask because, at least for the 888s-142od, the waist measurements are about an inch smaller. Just curious how these things work out.

            Yes, exactly

            That's a fair assumption, but obviously exact stretch is down to the wearer...

                Just noticed the difference in the stitching on the pockets of these two pairs of jeans. On the 18 oz, there is a line of stitching above the bar tacks on the left side of each pocket (pic 1)and on the 21 oz the bit of stitching is above the interior bar tack (pic 2). Is this just random or is there a purpose? Just curious

                  @SKT Curious as well, but my assumption is that it's because of the person doing the sewing.

                    I’m sure you’re right. Now I’m wondering why it’s just over one bar tack of each pocket and not both?

                      @SKT I believe this line over one side comes from how the pockets are sewn on with them starting on one corner, sewing right round the 'bucket' of the pocket, back up the other side, doing a 'u-turn' (which gives that line above the corner of the pocket) and then all the way back round again. So it won't be over both sides as they only need to make that turn around once.

                      Quite what determines what side that line is over is probably entirely random or at least dealers choice for the person sewing

                        @Ross appreciate that bit of knowledge and it makes complete sense to me. Thank you!

                          Thanks @Ross , That is exactly how it is done. I was struggling to describe it as succinctly as you have.

                            Thanks…that makes perfect sense. Strange that I even noticed

                                Did I just partially ruin these ducks by ironing the outer serged seam set on the "cotton" setting? I was ironing normally, moving constantly and not dwelling. Before I knew it I was smelling plastic and saw shriveled thread.

                                This is pretty common for me to iron jeans coming out of the washer/dryer since it usually ends up flattened.

                                  That is the poly in the polycotton melting, there may be enough integrity in the stitch left to be OK there may not - time will tell...

                                    @pechelman I get this is really annoying but I think you’ll be fine (I’ve made similar mistakes, although not with IH stuff so far). The main seam may well be ok and if you spot any weaknesses it should be easy enough to fix with a few stitches.

                                      Thanks guys. Some of the thread completely melted as if there wasn't any cotton or it also burned up. Pretty surprising with how fast this happened. What's really annoying is that the only reason I normally do this is because that double layer of fabric usually pinches me knee when bending; now I'm left with a bunch of spikey plastic bits that's kinda abrasive.

                                        Sorry, maybe the thread is 100% polyester, As @arnc says, the main seam will be OK.
