I wonder if he's talking about the Rogue Territory ones?
This was going to be my guess. Either that or it's just ironic that they happen to have released very similar colors to what IH plans.
-
I like Rogue Territory. It's not bad but… well, it's not IH. Very hard to match the quality IH produces.
-
^ Agreed. I own five Rogue Territory shirts and really like them. However, if I compare their flannels to IH's and the difference in price that comes along with them there is absolutely no contest. I will pay $50-$60 more for an IH any day. There is just really no comparison in my opinion.

Awhile back I bought a Tellason cone denim shirt and while it was "OK" and I kept it, there is clearly no contest vs. my IH gear. Now I stick with what I know. Every IH garment I own is a work of art - fit, finish, details - very hard to find a reason to deviate once I figured this out. I had Pendleton heavy flannels before IH, which I ended up giving away - after I got some IH shirts, when deciding what to wear on a given day, the Pendleton shirts just never made the cut… Same with some carhart work shirts - total crap by comparison. I also like Mr. Freedom gear, which provides a bit of variety. Maybe I am biased - actually I'm sure I am!

OK, thanks, I just saw the 634-Paraffin-versions (18 and 21 oz) on the release timetable (https://www.dropbox.com/s/q1ygzvk408t9dg6/FW15 FF.xlsx?dl=0), which look updated, and hoped therefore for non-Paraffin-editions :D.

What do you mean by updated? Is the cut of the 634 being updated or something?
-
No, but people would like to see it with more selvedge detail and sewn in belt loops…...If we updated the cut it would get a new Lot Number....
Ah..I see. Thanks.
Back pocket linings would also be a nice standard feature.
-
I'm so not bothered whether we update the 634S though. It is what H dreamed up 12 years ago and deserves to stay what it is…....It aint really a bad jean......
Not disagreeing with you at all. I have the 21oz Indigo selvedge in the 634 cut, perfect straight leg fit IMO.
-
Can anyone shed some light on the Parrafin coating for the jeans please? I saw white jeans that had it on, but none others and was curious what this offered and how common a practice it is?
I guess it adds a little waterproofing and dirt resistance, and maybe makes them more rigid? Quite like the look of the denim with it applied.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

It is merely a paraffin wax coating. It offers water resistance and dirt resistance, it also makes the jean more rigid (so I have told you nothing you did not know yet).
It will wear off/out with time.
I do not know if they will be extant. And I will only stock them to specific request, I took the view that they were too specialised for my market…
