    @FOXY:

    @Giles:

    @Ted would like a big global adventure on his way back to Japan…....Anyone want to help him?  Just need to keep him for 1 day or so and take some adventurous shots and mail him to the next guy.  BUT, Ted is very special to Tom, so any flaky shipping/mailing methods must be avoided......

    He is certainly welcome in Berlin & Moscow, if that is en route…

    Thanks Foxy…

        OK.  How about I ship to @neph93 in about a week or so.  He then sends to @hajduk , then he sends to @FOXY then he sends to @madmonday …..

                      @Giles is there any particular reason why Aspero cotton hasn't been incorporated into IH denim?  Considering one of the characteristics is strength would Aspero make for a very strong jean?  I suspect the cost of the denim would be quite a bit higher than the other lots, and the customer may see a $500-$600 price tag on a pair, but was more wondering if there was something about the cotton itself that makes it less conducive to being made into denim.

                      Setting aside the fact there is potential IH may not be able to regularly acquire it in the future of course.

                        I don't know.  But I suspect there is a good reason Aspero can't be used as effective denim yarn….

                              Pretty sure H chose Aspero for the flannel because it has a soft woolly feel and more of a body to it than other cottons with natural kinks on the fibers making it more lofty… --> and perfect for a soft/rugged flannel. IH denim used to be Zimbabwe cotton and is now another equivalently nice variety so one can be fairly sure that it's not a matter of cost, but a matter of best cotton for the application. IH denim is soft, strong, and silky making it some of the best denim around. IH doesn't use anything less than the best; IH uses some kind of special/heirloom/long staple cotton for everything as far as I can tell, but they don't tend to talk about it. That's the only downside about talking about the cotton variety of the UHF; it gives a false sense that the other items are not also special cotton because it's not advertised. But it's all special 🙂

                                Thanks @4c, I'm definitely not questioning the quality of the other cottons.  If there is one thing that should never be questioned when it comes to IH it is the materials used.  It sounds like there are a few other characteristics of Aspero that make it more preferable for UHF than denim, which answers my question.

                                        With all the heavy red buffalo check shirts why is the number changed? Shouldn't they all just be ihsh 20, kind of the way the 13 or 21 is?

                                          Because they're not exactly the same.  Typically, if a detail, however small, changes, it is given a different model number.  The N1 changes model number each year because it get's tweaked.  Each iteration of the red/black buffalo changes, hence a new model number, but I guess you knew that…..
