@simonc:

Can someone tell me what is this denim IH-1955S-RAW what is 21/23oz, I thought we were talking about 25oz, but I'm not sure, I don't come here for the denim.

I'm not really sure I even understand the wording of your question

[simonc]

what is 21/23oz and why are the 1955's called RAW, ie shrink to fit?  Or, what is the difference between the current 1955 denim and this new run?

[Max Power]

The 21/23 oz denim is a classic IH fabric and was limited to the 5th anniversary model 634SR and then reused in the 634 S-Raw. Raw, meaning shrink to fit. There even was a contest. I'm a bit shocked now, looking at your registration date.

[simonc]

So its a 23oz denim that shrinks to fit, right thanks Max.

[Max Power]

Yes, 23 oz is the postwash weight. And it produces some of the best looking jeans I've ever seen.

[Giles]

Possibly the most famous and legendary, but certainly the fastest selling denim we have ever produced.

I presume Simonc was taking the piss, for whatever reason.  :-\

[JCar2666]

Does G plan on using the same patch from previous runs?

[Giles]

I'll prob get Olle to dream up something wild…..

Nah mate, I'm just that kinda guy, if I don't know I don't pretend to, I ask.  I didn't follow the limited edition series.

[Giles]

2.2 Kilometres of denim ordered….

[tatmantall]

Boom! I'm very excited

[JCar2666]

I'm assuming that's a lot G.  We don't do Kilometres

[Seul]

2406 yards or 0.22 Scandinavian mile. Whichever you're more familiar with.

[mclaincausey]

WTF are you people talking about, you mean 0.395968323 leagues right?

[Seul]

Or 21654 hands. Well: give or take. You know how it goes with hands ey!..

[Adman103]

2.2 kilometers is the diameter of the Linne crater on the moon!

Ok, maybe 2.4, depending on how you measure it- but still!  That's a lot of sweet denim!

And this guy supposedly does a wheelie on his quad for that long:

All sorts of interesting stuff when you google "2.2 km"!

[Seul]

Measured the IH way, y'mean?..

[Adman103]

Exactly!
