I'm looking for a pair of black leather gloves, preferably with a thin lining. I don't want bulky winter gloves, more like on-my-way-to-the-office sleek leather gloves.

Suggestions for brands that make "buy it for life"-quality gloves?

[mankarat]

Which way to choose? BB SBG or 634 superblack? I'm in my hunt for another superblack jeans since my SBG bought by my friend last week. Will superblack 33 stretch to 35 or 36 after some wear? Advisable to size down on this?

[D97x7]

My 9634z size 33 have stretched to 35 no problem!

[mankarat]

Thank dx.. The fabric feels like the indigo version?

[jacoavlu]

My opinion the superblack fabric feels a bit more thick and rigid than the 21oz indigo

[mankarat]

As long as its stretchable and breath like the indigo version i guess i could give it a try

[Seul]

Sizing down 1 is not a problem. Wouldn't suggest sizing down 2 or 3… Denim of the 9634 feels a lot stiffer (and I think it's warmer/ breaths less) than the indigo 21 oz...

Yep, I'd agree with that.

[mankarat]

I think my TTS could be 34, so 33 could be no problem i guess.

Thanks

HOW THE !"¤#%"=%( do you guys NOT snag your shirt/jacket/whatever on the pocket-knife pocket clip?

[Seul]

Cause I mostly keep it in here. If I clip it to my jeans, the shirt will snag it up…

[Lucifer]

Ah, I'm considering starting to put it in my back pocket or something (can't have it in the front pocket at the office). Have lost one skeletool already, almost lost my second today.

[DougNg]

I prefer back pocket carry so long as the blade is tip down when I carry (for safety reasons)

It's just easier to get the knife out that way when you're sitting or crouched down

You just have to make sure the clip is tight or else it's fairly easy to lose it

So, I want to get one more shirt this year.  The question is, should I go with another Melton or go with a Heavyweight Flannel?  Such a hard decision…

Might as well mix it up and grab a flannel. With the popularity of the IHW-01, I don't see it going extinct anytime soon.

Just the man I was hoping to get advice from.

Thanks Lando!

Chain stitch embroidery machine - anyone know where I can find one?

Can anyone point me in the right direction here, I'm currently Working on a pair of 666XHS at the moment and am looking to rotate them with another pair of jeans. I am after a denim as heavy as possible (preferably 21oz or above)  in a slim and tapered leg as possible (slimmer than my 666) by ANY decent brand out there.

Thanks

Jord

These may be of interest to you. Still in production but definitely worth the wait!

Sticking within IH cause that's about all I know about you might also consider the 666od or 301s07bk. Not 21oz but close plus the OD denim "feels" heavier than the indigo 21oz, and I think you'd find both those cuts slimmer than your xhs. Plus having an OD pair to rotate with indigo is great.

Come to think of it the 07 denim probably is 21oz+ since I think the 19oz spec refers to raw state…. Anyway good luck.
