Would a 2-1 weave denim stretch more or less than standard 3-1 weave (all other factors being equal)?

I want to say less, but I don't really know…

[Giles]

I think less, I don't know for sure….

Has anyone here tried over-dyeing a garment at home? And with decent results?

I've overdyed my 76, once then a top up to try get it darker. Used Dylon machine dye. My only niggle is creases from the hot wash in the machine (both sleeves)..

Random question:

So on ebay I was able to snag the 130-GB that my size sold out of before I could buy this fall.

The seller told me he purchased from directly from Japan. Am I correct in assuming the sizing for items is the same for the UK and Japan? I figured that they are all made at the same time with the same specifications and then divided up between G and H. However, the Japan website has much different measurements than the UK one.

Any guidance/experience?

Cheers,
Dan

Same tagged sizes apply. IHUK don't use the published Japanese measurements and measure all stuff themselves when it arrives, hence the difference. I remember Giles getting a vest in for me that he otherwise wasn't going to stock and I ordered it based on Japanese measurements. G's measurements were entirely different and I had to size up.

@neph93 Thanks mate. I figured that was the case, but I just wanted to make sure.

I recall G mentioning something in another thread (I can't recall now given how many I have read over the years) about not making assumptions on fit or sizing decisions based on the measurements posted on the Japan website.

Appreciate the help sir!

Cheers,
Dan

If I choose the 'stack' option, and I get impatient later on can I just pay the postage?

Yes
