      ^ no disappointment giles, i appreciate all of the questions you have been able to answer for me and this is no exception. really really glad to know that it is super slubby… tho hearing the stitching will be inferior, or at least as you said not being up to the job. Thats a bit of a turn off to them as i tear through each and every pair of jeans i have, minus the 2004's...but i'm working on it and here will be the first place to see what happens!  ::)

          What a bummer. I never had the stitching on any jeans break. Maybe I'm not hard enough with my jeans? I mean I do wear them until they get holes in the knees and I always stow my wallet and keys in the front pockets. But I never had any stitches break not even on cheap jeans.

              I always bust cotton stitching, Poly core takes me a lot longer.  G

                  Polycore has a central core of a  filament or filaments of polyester which is then wrapped with coitton.  It looks like cotton from the outside but is many times stronger.  All IH stuff is sewn together with super-strong polycore - Haraki claims it to be the strongest he can source (and I have no reason to doubt that), occasionally he will use 100% cotton yarn for areas of construction/detail where super strength is not needed (arcuates for instance).  Obviously, traditionally jeans were stitched together with 100% cotton yarn, but it does wear and bust pretty quickly.  Some people love the fact that it does and many of the repro (sorry - tribute)  jeans use cotton as it is more "traditional".

                    Yeah, I have been waiting to see an email sent out via their email newsletter that usually goes out after new shipments and what not. Really hoping that more info comes to be known once Kiya has them in stock. I got interested in this brand over a year ago but there really isn't much on the forums about this brand, so I'm hoping kiya brings about a change and flood of info about TSL

                        On the basis that Paula merely signed up to the forum to shut me up and obviously has no intention of viewing, let alone posting, here are most of mine, 2 or 3 pairs lost in the house somewhere.

                        Free T-shirt if someone can ID the lot!

                        I've got a bit of a thing going on with jackets at the moment too, I'll post a pic when I get a mo'

                        ok, i suppose i will start with the Sugarcanes:
                        3rd row (top to bottom)
                        Union Star
                        Hawaii
                        Okinawa
                        *kinda hard to see the date, but, because i see that giles does not really favor the taper of a 66 cut, i am guessing the 1947

                        Samurai
                        …fail, i tried to find it but came up empty, and i know soon someone is gonna say exactly what it is...

                        TW
                        TWHR01 (3rd row bottom)
                        TW201 (2nd row, 2nd to last)

                        Freebee
                        FB-301's (times 2)

                        IronHeart
                        634s (x2, one worn one new)
                        634sr
                        801
                        the one with only the W and no leather tag threw me off. ouch. lol

                        Flat Head
                        5100
                        3003-WWII

                                    I would say Samurai is S0510WX, 19oz

                                    If the question was which Samurai is seen in Giles collection…
