Google is your friend:

Raglan: A sleeve joined to the body of a garment by a long slanting seam starting at the neck and continuing around the armhole.

Set in:  A sleeve joined to the body of a garment by a seam starting at the edge of the shoulder and continuing around the armhole.

It won't load for me… but if i'm not mistakem its the nike x loopwheeler collab -- loopwheeler being a japanese brand that specializes in ... you guessed it! loopwheeling. They're really legit so i'd hardly say they'r inferior. Make sure the cut fits you though!

Anyone here know how different Skulls 5010xx and Samurai 0500xx fits? I wear a tagged 36 in both IH, and skulls, but i think skulls would be a better comparison here.

Will i be able to fit into a size 35 0500xx? The thigh is always what that is bothering me when i buy jeans.  Damn.

And how much does samurai stretches?

[Beatle]

yes. If a 36 510xx fits you - a 35 0500xx will be perfect

[ronaldlsh]

You mean if a 36 skulls 5010xx fits me, the 35 samurai 0500xx will be perfect right??

With the upcoming IH leather goods, I have a somewhat important question (important to me, that is): are all hides/ materials used a byproduct or are animals chosen and killed for the material?.. Eg. the Aero leathers, or the deerskin used on the new upcoming shirt… Just wondering...

The horsehide that Aero uses comes from Horween in Chicargo, they, because of US law can only use hides from natural death animals ie old age, disease and the like. However there is a fair amount of debate on how the animal became sick in the first place ie starvation, ill treatment and so on. There is a great deal of information about Aero and leather in general to be found here.

Yeah, very few animals are raised exclusively for hides.  Most of the time it's just a byproduct.  That's one of the reasons horsehide and cordovan used to be so much more common- there used to be a lot more horses a century ago.

About the only animal I can think of that's used primarily for the hide is alligator, which (in the US, at least) is commercially farmed, not hunted in the wild.  Interestingly, the quality of a gator's life is reflected in its hide- poor nutrition and stress give it bad skin, literally.  As a result, farmed gators are well fed, given nutritional supplements and sleep on heated pads.

Yep, I'm full of weird trivia.

^^ haha awesome i did not know that

[DougNg]

Minks are exclusively raised for their hides. I've never heard of anyone eating a mink

Gator meat, on the other hand, is a regular staple in parts of the South, so it wouldn't surprise me if some of the alligator leather is byproduct

[Seul]

Well, I guess there are people who are able to eat deer…  :-\

[Chris]

Guess I was just thinking about leather.  Mink, sable, fox, chinchilla and the rest are probably raised just for fur.  Never heard of anyone eating them, though I'm sure at some point someone gave it a go.

Venison and gator are both pretty tasty, on the other hand.   Here in the South folks will eat just about anything we can catch.
