I had this thought today:
For much of the denim community today, the outseam selvedge is highly desired (if not almost mandatory) for raw denim jeans. But obviously this was not always the case. I was thinking back to when jeans were first made, when selvedge denim was first a thing.
Does it make sense that outseams were selvedge because it was the longest seam on a pair of pants, and by placing the selvedge there cut down on labor in the form of additional overlocking/sewing? I'm not sure if this is the reason selvedge is traditionally placed on the outseam, or if the origination of this denim feature is even known. It's just something that popped into my head…
-
My guess is efficiency. The edge is already finished, no overlock stitching or other finishing required.

It's because that's the side of a leg pattern that is straight. There is a curve to the pattern on the inseam side coming up to the crotch. If you tried to turn the pattern around you would actually be cutting off the selvedge line to account for the curve to the pant leg. Just like when you taper a patten you wouldn't taper the selvedge side because you would be cutting it off. It stays straight and you taper the inseam on the pattern.

thanks for confirming guys

One bump I have hit is in the personal care department though and I am looking for a line on deodorants and fragrances.

I've had my eye on this beauty for some time now and given my bonus will be extra nice this year, I am thinking of treating myself. Before I do though, I am wondering if anyone has this jacket and can chime in on sizing, wear, etc. I don't know if this item is in the NYC store, but I can check.
Anyway, if anyone has this great jacket, please, share your experiences.
TIA. Gary

There's not going to be an IHF-2014 unless the remaining IHF-2013 stock clears out, is there?

you got a design idea? let's see it.
i think the forum tee shirt has run it's course & should be retired. the gosport tee was/is the future of the tees that should be done for the forum.

I think you're right, Monday. The 2012 didn't sell super well, and the 2013 didn't either, even though Giles cut the size of the order. Folks around here don't seem to love white tees, so there are a bunch of those still taking up space. I'm wondering if we should keep the tradition alive.
Maybe a contest to design a 2014 version would generate enough interest to make it worthwhile. I'd put some effort into it, but my graphic design skills are nonexistent.

When is that IH ring coming?
