      @Matty123:

      The patch on my 634S are beginning to crack. I've never soaked or washed them. That happen to anybody else?

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

      thank you my man. ive been using saphir reno on the patch until i can get some neatsfoot or redwing boot oil.

      Maybe so. Maybe not

        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?

              Hello @Giles. Are there any raw 634 jeans in the works? In any weight. Collaborations or otherwise? Thanks

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

                  Mink oil is a product I actively avoid, for the same reason that I won't wear fur.

                          Here are our "rules"  😃

                          All our shirts that have a gusset will have chainstitch run-off
                          All our workshirts have a gusset
                          Westerns typically don't have a gusset unless we want it to look more workshirty

                                    Really loving the new Pronto/IH 220Z denim. Just curious. When you make a denim like that for someone is there some kind of agreement/understanding that the fabric is exclusive to them for some period of time?

                                      I'm not that sophisticated.  If a retailer comes up with an idea (and this denim was Pronto's idea), then as long as they agree to order enough denim to make at least 400 pairs, then it's theirs forever.  This is envisaged to be a constant long run denim for Pronto.

                                        Thanks for the quick response. In that case I'm really happy to have been able to get a pair of those jeans. Also nice of them to let you have some to sell to us.
