@Giles

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

[Giles]

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.

Can someone get Haraki a cook or something? His Instagram food pics are horrifically depressing

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

[Fadez]

Haha. I always wondered that too. Like what's up with the toast?

Yes. Yes it is.

G, am I correct by assuming that all IH-loomstate-bottom-denims are made slightly oversized so they can shrink to the measurements a sanforized/washed model would have?

If so, what is the best procedure to shrink/soak those denims (cold, lukewarm, warm, hot?) to achieve the best results for the fit and the denim itself?

[Giles]

We aim to make them shrink to tag, BUT the problem is that different washing methods create a different amount of shrinkage.  Indeed, typically North Americans see more shrinkage than Europeans who see more shrinkage than Japanese.

Thanks, forgot totally that there is this guide…

@TrickHell:

Why do trucker vests have pocket, but trucker jackets don't?

imho the Type III is also called Trucker Jacket and has still Pockets (Breast/Side/Internal)

[Giles]

As far as I am concerned, if a Type III has pockets, it's a trucker….

[Giles]

No, a trucker is a Type III with pockets.  Sorry to be pedantic, but the Type III came first, the trucker is a later derivative….

[Dion]

Love the Type III (without pockets).

So.. In my stockroom/ level floor cellar, I have no light… No electricity either, everything's been cut (to prevent from tenants using the built-in airco I assume)...

I've bought a LED searchlight but I need something that provides much more light... This is kinda cool but not sufficent either: http://www.light11.nl/Marset/FollowMe.html

Anyone have any ideas here?.. It's a small room, under 10m²...

[organisys]

want to leave the light down there?

Use a car or caravan battery and a fluorescent strip light designed for a caravan.

[Seul]

That sounds good… Might switch the car battery for one of these though: https://tinyurl.com/psbumba
