                                  A guy I was working with today was rocking some pretty interesting looking pants. He informed me they were made of firehouse canvas by Duluth Trading Company. I've never heard of 'em.  Anybody know any deets?

                                      I'm really not a fan of those J. Peterman style drawings… how the hell do you know what you're supposed to get 😠

                                        In J. Peterman's case, and I'm speaking from experience, expect only the finest CRAP…

                                          Hey guys,

                                          Serious question…what makes the 21oz denim feel so damn amazing on my skin? I'm only about roughly a month and a half in my 301s and they feel like butter. I recently got a pair of PBJs and I love the denim on them. Really unique and rough. I wore them for a few days, decided to put on my 301s again today and welp, long story short...probably not gonna go back to the PBJs for awhile 😛

                                          But seriously, is it the cotton? Production process (does anybody happen to have any videos? :-X)? Haraki-san infuses some sort of fabric addictive drug into them or what?

                                          Also, which is softer, the 21oz or the 18oz?

                                            I'm going to take a crack at this one, only small dollars on the line tho.

                                            It is the Zimbabwe cotton. From the FAQ
                                            "It has very long fibres, this allows the threads to be made with less twisting than is normal and the end result is that the denim is suprisingly soft to the touch." (http://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/faqs)
