    Wow, a whole new thread dedicated to my complete and total laziness in not feelling like using the search function.  Thanks Giles.  Can you start a thread on how forum members get their wives to let them buy a motorcycle???

      The reason I created this board (Resource Centre) was to try and grab info like this that people frequently ask about and put it in one place….

        I'd like to say you've done well then G. If a person is so inclined, they can find all the answers they are seeking and more here. Sure, one may have to dig around a bit, but there is a wealth of denim knowledge on this forum. Not to mention the many pearls of wisdom one can come across whilst hunting the info one seeks. Well done G, well done indeed.

              Haraki believes it is due to the tensions created in the sewing process being working in opposing directions in the sewing process.  For instance, the inner seam is sewn in one continuous seam starting at the cuff of one leg and going all the way around to the cuff of the other leg, so one leg is sewn upwards and the other leg sewn downwards.

              Question.  On Left Hand Twill fabric is there more twist in the right leg?  Guess we'll find out soon….

                i guess it's cuz 90% of the denim, used on jeans, is RHT…which means that the denim on the left leg is going to twist!
                with LHT it's the other way round and theirs twist in the right leg!...

                      I quoted you but changed "left" to "right", Giles… Cause I suppose a LHT jeans will have the right leg twist, right?..  😃

                          Did I miss something?  Where can I find more info on these Left Handers coming out?  Fit, material, sellers, etc…

                            IIRC then this is all we know so far!…

                            @Giles:

                            That would be a 15oz left hand twill then…...

                                I have a pair of jeans that are half LHT and half RHT. No twists at all.
                                I swear!
