      Nerd Fact

      The IH-717 selvedge chino has needle holes running down the seam. These holes come from the the process of cold mercerization.  We have to physically stabilise the fabric to Mercerize it.  It is unusual for anyone to cold mercerize a chino fabric, so normally  the holes are not seen as the edge of the fabric is cut to waste.  This is not a defect.

        Oh these are mercerized???  Nice!!  Damn….definitely copping a pair.  @Giles I apologize if this is another question that has been asked a million times already but I don't recall seeing the answer anywhere yet, but what fit are these going to be and what weight is the fabric???  Or is this a new fit??

          816 cut.  I'm guessing 10oz, but wait for H to confirm exactly…..

            Delightful.  Still thinking these might make it into a black color run at some point?  (Vaguely recall that the selvedge was of a diff fabric that could resist dying…. )

              @Giles… with regards to the incoming 163, I'm assuming you handled it on your visit to Japan? In which case are we talking warmer and heavier than an ihsh-64? It certainly looks thick and appears to be made of virgin wool. Is it conceived of as more of an over-shirt?

                @neph93 actually its very fine.  I won't hazard a guess at weight, but much lighter than the 64

                  Black is on the cards.  And you are correct about the selvedge ID

                        Blue wins against grey. IMO.

                                  grey Ombre wins for me although I feel like blue might be a sleeper that truly shines when you actually see it in person.

                                      Might this be a non-fading black? I'm still hoping for a 12-16oz super black chino at some point, but I'd settle for this for now if it's going to be equally fade-resistant.
