        Thanks @goosehd and once we have the new website up and running @AdamJ will be updating and overhauling that section....

          @Giles So it's possible that my first pair are Zimbabwean, but unlikely. Thanks!

            Not sure if it's something you guys want to do for the updated hall of fades section, but I'd suggest to include photos of someone actually wearing the faded pants, maybe even matching them with different outfit combinations to highlight the "real-life" fades/evo.

              Thanks for the idea - could work, if we can find someone to wear all the pairs worthy of HoFing...

                Yep, and if that's not feasible, another idea would be to link a photo on the forum of the very person who submitted the pants, wearing them - granted, of course, that there is a good photo in the first place and that the said person doesn't want to remain anonymous/agrees to being linked to.

                    Hello,
                    why do some IH models Models Have "S" and Others Don’t after the fit number? such as
                    IH-555-XHS [ no S after 555]
                    IH-634S [ no S]
                    IH-555S-SLB { S after 555}
                    what S means and what non-S means?

                          In the very early days we did 2 jeans.

                          IH-634 and IH-634S - As @Alex says, the S stands for selvedge. As we grew and added more items to the range, we started having to try and describe the denim in the Lot Number.

                          XHS - Extra Heavy Selvedge
                          UHR - Ultra Heavy Raw
                          SLB - Slubby
                          19L - 19oz Lefty (Left Hand Twill)

                          We try and include an S after the model number (555, 666, 777 etc), but historically we were not that organised, so UHR jeans do not have an S after the model number despite the denim being Selvedge.

                            It means Selvedge

                            If it has an S after the model number it is definitely Selvedge, if it doesn't, it may be selvedge (see above).....

                                And there’s no point updating this one as we did the UHR, or they would be the

                                  @Giles .. that's more like it with subtle context and background. I thought it showed standard denim weight or anything less than 25oz or maybe 23oz. Models with S show standard denim weight from 14-21oz.

                                      @Hamza-Yunus ... I know. I was the one that updated the SKU so that it was more in line with others on a recent production run

                                        @Giles if it does not have an S, it is as much selvage as any other S-pair, unless it is a Duck canvas. I don't think IH makes non-selvage denim jeans at the moment. i am only talking about the listed jeans on the IH-UK webpage.

                                            No. S just means selvedge, as we have said already.

                                            There is inconsistency in the product numbers over time, for various reasons, but that is what it means. Has nothing to do with double twisted yarn
