      Just a guess, but I bet the answer is the 634s…

          I have the 634s, 666s and 801s and the 634s were by far the most comfortable right from the beginning. The 801s didn't take very long and I'm still working on the 666s  🙂

            You know you want to create an IH version of my father in laws shirt…

            With the dice...

            And the cards...

            And the chips...

            And the martinis...

            And the flames...

            Pretty much sounds like a shirt from Dry Bones or RJB.

              21oz flagship. It's on a number of jeans (634s, DC4001, B01, 461s)

              That's compared to 18oz unsanforized, 21/23oz unsanforized, 25oz XHS sanforized, and cotton duck

              21oz flagship sanforized in OD feels about the same for me

                  Anyone done 15-19hr straight flights? I've only done 9-10hr flights and that was tough. Any pointers?

                    take an aspirin before. get up and walk around periodically. id probably take along an ambien as well. and maybe a xanax or ativan just in case

                      Thanks. I'll probably bring a few Tylenol PM to put me to sleep. Never taken any of those pills you suggested before unfortunately. I usually can't fall asleep, so I'm going to bring some sort of sleep aid for sure. My biggest fear, which isn't horrible by any means, is having something to charge all my apple gear haha. I have all the adapters lets just hope they have the ports.

                          I did New York to Hong Kong in coach this year which was about 16 and a half hours… I was dreading it but traveling with friends makes a big difference and it wasn't so bad - your body just kind of adjusts.  Ambien is a good call.  A really good set of headphones will help too.  Also an eye mask and earplugs to sleep. By mid June this year I will have flown over 65,000 miles this year...

                            Word of caution, Ambien has some very strange side effects depending on the person.

                              Thanks everyone. Don't worry I won't be taking any prescription drugs. Especially, before a job.

                                reasonable not to try any new med before a job, but if you're taking tylenol pm for sleep the tylenol is completely unnecessary just get some benadryl.

                                aspirin and occasional walking is to prevent a blood clot, and seriously I would do that for such a long flight

                                  For 10 years of my life I was on at least 4 planes a week.  I now do about 12 long haul flights a year - I have one tomorrow to Japan.  My routine, good headphones, some reading just in case, a couple of drinks, the meal a movie or two depending on the length of the flight, ear phones in eye mask on, go to sleep.  My definition of a good long haul is that the stewardess has to wake me for landing.

                                  I do not work on the plane and I avoid conversation.  You do not want to fly with me, I am the worlds most boring companion on a plane.

                                    I'm basically the same minus the sleep. I'm usually head first in a movie or TV show the whole time and can't ever remember talking to the people I sit next to.

                                    Tomorrow, I have a 6hr flight to LA, 1hr30 layover, and then 15hrs to Sydney. On the way back next Saturday it's 19hrs straight  😢 😢 😢 :o

                                    And thanks again to everyone for the advice.
