Can anyone here to point out the direction where to look for :

• sashiko, heavy one: double weave Sei Aizome, genuine traditional natural indigo dye
• indigo tonal thread (the one used in indigo/indigo 633S)?
• yellow poly-cotton IH or any similar quality thread?

Thank you.

P.S.: I got a well developed obsession/design idea and lady-tailor, real good. Say, 80% completed.
All I need: remained three things above.

I can't decide between 666SII (best denim, not the best fit), 666S-BK (somewhere in the middle) and 777S-14 (best fit, not the most exciting denim). Looking for any input to make my decision easier. So.. who's got some input haha?

Well, obviously it doesn't really matter, but I'm dirt poor and won't see new jeans for some time. Current ones are falling apart, so I wanna the new pair count!

In that case, choose fit as the main criteria. A pair of jeans that fit you well will give you more pleasure in the long run than a pair that are made of cool denim (from what I can tell the 14oz might be pretty cool too).

^I agree, besides I think the 14 oz denim is more appealing than the other two. Of course that's personal taste.

Have you considered the 555N?  Mine seem more relaxed than other 555 cuts (definitely more relaxed than the 555's in sbg I tried)?

[Seul]

Of the 555s, the 01 is defo the most relaxed cut…

[Peter]

Thanks for the input guys! Atm I'm leaning towards the 666S-BK, actually.

I would recommend the 66SBG. The denim is comfy and you'll get an amazing colour after some wear. You will always have time for blue denim thereafter ;).

@Appfaff:

I need to up my keychain/key hook game… the clip I have used for years won't close around the UHR beltloops (maybe this is a first world problem post haha), and I feel I am simply too old to rock the carabiner+keys look (brings back too many memories of 7th grade/Blink 182 days)

You need a Good Art Hlywd belt loop buddy. Best damn keychain ever!

[Appfaff]

I'll check those out!  Did I read somewhere that IHUK will be stocking some
Of their gear?

Hi Guys,
recently I've become a happy owner of an IH-666SB in size 33".
My first pair of IH and my first experience with heavy denim.
And I must confess it's amazing!
Otherwise this is my second pair of "quality jeans", so I'm quite a newbie in this "raw denim scene".
I'm aware the jeans are sanforized, but I'd like to know what can I expect from a hot soak?
A bit of shrinkage in every direction would be nice, especialy lengthwise and "crotchwise"?
Probably I should read this forum more deeply, but I couldn't find answere so far.
I appreciate any advice & thank You in advance.
