There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

Everything we do happens in your and our imagination.  When you (or we) can predict what we are going to do, we've failed….

That sounds so magical, love you guys.

Didn’t want to derail the exciting sneakers announcement on the samples thread, so I’ll ask here… Are 888XHS a distant pipe dream?

[Giles]

We may do at some point, but I have a load of stuff going on with new denims at the moment….

Where is this sneaker convo? I checked samples and planned products and didn’t see it…

Whats the difference if any, between the Logger and Engineer pants?

[UnTucked]

^^^That's a good one…..

[gaseousclay]

Another question, what does the red "W" signify that's woven onto every pair of jeans? Is it shorthand for "the Works"?

[Giles]

Depends upon which way you look at it.

Either W for Works (Our Japanese holding company)

or M for Motorcycle

@daltmeyer:

In our terms, an engineer has a hammer loop and a "ruler" pocket, the logger does not.  I noticed that the IH-821 was mis-described (which may have led to your question), so I have fixed that….

G or Alex, would it be possible for me to purchase a few of those leather pull tabs that come on the IH hoodies and some of the jackets.

I really like them and would like to add them to some other jackets I have.

Also, any idea what type of leather they are?

[Giles]

We bought a load of veg tanned leather, a few scalpels and some metal rulers.  We make them ourselves, very easy…

[Dstauffer]

Perfect…perhaps I can get some slipped into one of my purchases once SS gear starts dropping...I know they seem insignificant, but they really add a nice touch to my gear with zippers.

[Dstauffer]

G, inpatient American here  :D…..any idea when the tentative SS18 release schedule will drop?

[Giles]

I may be able to do it in the next week or so….

Some chain stitching at the crotch junction has let loose. Pictures are below. I have thread to use. My question is do you guys think I can effectively  mend this with a needle and thread? These are my 888NT 1 Soak and one wash before I wore them 75F water

[Giles]

Yes, you can.  You'll need super tough thread and a man-sized needle.
