      40 degrees will not shrink anything . You're all good on that. 30 would be even better

      It will shrink wool, especially Merino or Cashmere, but I am being pedantic… I know you are refering to most IH gear.

      Tru dat ^ And that is also where your 30 degrees comes in.

        White weft/indigo warp…Think mid 20th Century Levi's....

        That's what I thought. Perfect.

        So we might see an IHSH-33-VIN? Either way I want one already….

        Nice. As what you can lack in high contrast fades can be made up with really nice mid blue colour once the denim is truly broken in and washed a few times.

          ….and as giles will tell you, alot of the shrinkage comes from the agitation of the cotton fibres in the washing machine drum.

            there is a wash tag in every item, have a look on it, you guys spend your money on quality and not on crap… Zero to nothing will happen if you machine wash the stuff with 30C or 40C, if the item is not raw.

                    they don't shrink that much, I had a Large 51, that was not bad fitting, but had some room to… now it fits perfect.

                      Where can I get some high-quality long johns / union suits?

                      Sunspel.com do some nice Merino base layers (under wear).

                                just reading the 634 world tour thread. You ever think about doing a world tour with some of the new denim?

                                  I could do.  But they tours we did rather died a death.  I don't have time to manage it and people love the idea and then get all flaky.  If someone wants to manage a tour (and do it properly), then I'm more than happy to give up a pair of jeans..,…

                                    Tours are great when people are into it, the White Knights tour we did a while back was awesome and over on SuFu there have been some great posts from shared jeans.

                                    As Giles says, if a group of people are really into it and someone can organise and manage it properly it's a fun thing to participate in/ watch.

                                        Totally agree! Those toast pics 🙂 must be a Japanese thing.
