^ Thanks for the info!

What's the history of it for Iron Heart? Did Haraki-san decide to make an OD jean or did someone else? How did it come about to make a jean like this? Info like that I would find very interesting

…Um?

American slang for drunk.  Get your mind out of the gutter, you dirty Aussie.

[bagley920]

I've never heard that used in that context before hmmmm

[DougNg]

Never heard of getting into a fight half cocked? When someone gets into a drunk brawl

[Chris]

I always thought going off half-cocked meant acting rashly, but apparently you're right, Doug.  Learn something new every day.

[Snowy]

I've never heard the expression "I'm Cocked", Half-Cocked on the other hand, totally, and per Chris, is a reference to loading of a gun. Urban Dictionary supports the use of "I'm Cocked" tho. I learnt my new thing today too!!!! :D.

Will XHS denim save my ass in a bush fire?  Or will I go up like a pack of fire crackers?

[scroogen]

They're made of cotton. If you're in enough fire to hurt you and not just messing around IH pants aren't going to save you.

[Qinhan]

^ Neither.  It's heavy cotton which isn't particularly flammable so you're not likely to explode like a firecracker.  Likewise, those few extra oz. might give you some minimal extra protection from radiant heat but it's hardly going to save your ass from bushfire temperatures, let alone flame.

[Mild7]

yeah okay.  I wasnt sure if cotton was a bad thing in a fire.  I know wool is good.. Plus i thought the extra oz my help with radiant heat only.  Of course if im on fire, or standing in actual flames im pretty much fkd.

[scroogen]

Right. You're probably not going to combust or anything. Just don't expect them to save your ass in a real fire

[Megatron1505]

Great question though.

Just as an aside, my mother is a volunteer firefighter and has been called out to put out several grass fires in recent weeks as temperatures have been soaring like crazy in Oz.

She's a tough old bird.

I was a volunteer fire fighter in high school. I had to do community service and found out, in Oklahoma, you can volunteer at 16. It was super fun. Got to do all sorts of crazy training and carry a radio around. Mainly did grass fires and meth labs.

[Mild7]

Meth labs.. Hehe
Actually there are bush fires in nearly all states here in Aus at the moment, and yesterday was a dicey one in my own area,.. Hence my question.

[Friday]

Anybody own them. Worth the money?
