          It's very dog friendly. That's pretty much it.

            Any way related to the IHSH-92 fabric…? The looks are strikingly similar. Is the 92 fabric IH exclusive?

              From H:

              We can't tell that is the same of ours or not.
              Because IHSH-92, the fabric is not our exclusive. It was a classical fabric from the past.
              For IHSH-100, we made its fabric more thicker than the original. so this is our original and exclusive.

                        Awesome, we need a minimum of 6 I reckon, maximum of 12. Size would probably be XL.

                          Thanks for that @rocket.

                          @Megatron1505 I'd love to be a part of that. I've a feeling I'd be an XXL in that jacket, but keep me in the loop, dude, just in case.

                          EDIT: The more I think about this, the more I love the idea… If I could get it after "someone" has loosened it up the XL might work.

                                I know that with raw, unsanforized denim, the aim of the initial soak is to minimize indigo loss.  This is just to preserve the potential for the highest contrast fading, right?  As in "keep the denim as dark as possible so that when it starts to fade, the fades are more pronounced?"

                                Reason for question is I gave my 666SIIs a second hot soak (actually 2nd time was a hot washing machine run without detergent).  I got some very, very slight fading in a couple of areas where I already had creases from wearing them for an hour or so after the first soak.  Does this make any difference to anything?

                                  the main reason to soak em is imo to "embed" the threads into the fabric, what in the end, result in a longer lasting…

                                  and for the fading, that might be the case...

                                    Thanks @rocket and yes totally agreed, I didn't phrase the first part correctly, agree that reason for the soak is bed in the threads but I guess I meant that one always aims to minimize indigo loss as part of that soak (such as the theory of soaking inside out which frankly I never bother with!).  Thanks for your thoughts.

                                        And to get rid of any sizing (usually starch) residue.  Which will also increase the life of the fabric.

                                          Imo the reason is to make the clothing fit… Unsanforized raw denim fits really weird if it's not seen water (preferably enough to make it shrink completely to its intended size)

                                            Thanks guys, yes understand why we do a soak just curious about all the attention given to minimizing indigo loss in the process.  I guess that's in an attempt to preserve the contrast of fades.
