    I should mention that a Union Special 43200G, which is what Giles uses for chainstitch hemming, works slightly differently from a technical perspective, but the practical impact is the same, just to be pedantic and more annoying than usual…

        Purely cosmetic.

                The Wesco laces are superior to Viberg ones btw…

                  I would say Wesco's leather laces are the best readily available

                    I would agree.  Mine have been through the ringer and the leather is still holding up phenomenally.  Mine are currently in a pair of Red Wings and I fear they may outlast the boots themselves.

                      I've been googling this for sometime now. Does anyone know the kind of cotton Cone Mills uses for their natural indigo fabric? Is it supima?

                        That would be my guess.  Definitely American grown cotton so Supima would most likely be it.  Of all the brands using it none that I have seen actually reference the type though.

                          I need something from cone mills anyway. Supima would be an added reason.

                            Seems like most fabrics made from supima, they go out of their way to make it known. Pretty sure Cone doesn't use it.

                              Best way to find out is to email Cone directly or a brand like Left Field that uses it.

                                      Nice! Will you be able to get their measurements or bring them over?
