So this evening my girlfriend tells me that my chain stitch run offs remind her of Tampon strings. Great.

^^^ bloody brilliant. Had to laugh, unfortunately I won't be able to look at chain stitch run off in the same way ever again, so thanks for that [emoji50]

[jdl1279]

Many thanks all, preparing to never sleep again

I am trying to build an app in Qlik Sense.
It is quite fun.
When I got more time I will try to make it a bit better. @enell has also started to look into this. We might do a combined effort adding our data to the same app.

That projekt really looks like fun.
And as always, the Devil is in the details. Days of wear <=> number of machine washes  :D.
Keep us up to date on the progress @nizzel55

This might go better in the anti-rant category but this one was at the top of the feed and it's Friday night, post work, and I'm lazy.

I had not worn my IH 666 XHS for a month plus.  Today I threw em on and headed to work.  I have multiple pairs of jeans in my current rotation that are one off. custom mades for me.  Half way through the day I think, "good lord these jeans are incredible."  My IH are on par if not better than any pair of custom made jeans I own.

So here's to IH and they're over engineered greatness.

Already emptied my glass…..

The Guardian have published an article on Lidl's £5.99 jeans.

There's a breakdown in the cost of production if you click through, and the piece ends with:

_Because when your business model is based on offering the lowest possible prices, someone has to subsidise that, and that someone is the worker stitching those jeans. Lidl does not buy its jeans from Bangladesh because Dhaka’s factories are the finest in the world: it does so because they pay their workers a pittance. And that, ultimately, is how it is possible to sell a pair of jeans for £5.99.

It’s not magic. It’s just exploitation._

One of the things I like about IH gear is that it's not made in sweatshops, and there's no exploitation involved. Well, except to my wallet, and the current intern.

When you pay so little you know there is a catch.
23 pence per hour is one hell of a catch.
Company's like this use the excuse that they are helping there customers with bargain prices.
In my humble view the True cost of these so called Value Products is massively high.

I couldn't say it any better. The attitude of cheaper and more still rules the Midwest. Something has to give.
