      @LONANRANGER If memory serves the 634s was available with a crotch rivet by request only many moons ago, c.2008 or '09, or maybe a little earlier. Back when you could get silver rivets, too. Wish I would've gone for the silver…

          In need of a Brit who can forward some CLOUDWATER DIPA (v13) cans to a Swiss mate of mine… Or just to me, and I'll ship him the empty cans…

          Cloudwater is based in Manchester. Any and all help would be extremely appreciated. I like the Swiss.

                Soaking in its own does not cause shrinkage, you need to agitate too.  I do in hottest water I can put my hands in….

                  Yes I plan on agitating too. My hands can take about 125 degrees F. Been carrying pizzas trays for years. Hot stuff. Muchos gracias amigo.

                      @Giles - On average, how often do you see 'rogue' pairs of IH jeans with thigh measurements greater than expected? Thanks! Like @zatenm , I wish many of the IH jeans for size 30 had a bit room for thighs.

                        @Sreeni I have no idea.

                        Size variance from the mean varies from model to model, denim to denim, workshop to workshop, seamstress to seamstress.  In broad terms, the heavier and stiffer the denim is, the larger variation we get from the mean, but we don't log that sort of information….

                                Happens all the time and very quickly if you don't oil the patch.

                                    Mink oil is cheap and if you whack it on both sides and edges you won't have to do it more than two or three times a year, depending on wear/washes etc. That being said I've taken to smearing olive oil on mine whilst I cook. Does a great job. (Credit to Mr. G. Padmore for that one).

                                        don't know if this has been answered before but i'm curious why some shirts have the chainstitch runoff while others don't. I noticed that pretty much all Western UHF's don't have it but denim Westerns do. likewise, the UHF workshirts have the runoff as well as other random workshirts. Is there any significance to this?

                                            By raw you mean unsanforised and unwashed.  If so, only these:

                                            And nothing being worked on.
