      @Dishelveled:

      Will the new slimmer hemmed whipcord pants be made in the same olive as the original or the new lighter shade like the new N-1s?
      And are they coming before the A/W run?

      We decided to go for chino matieral rather than Whipcord, and they are the samples I posted last week

        @goosehd:

        I just received my first pair of 666’s (IH-666S-18) and noticed that the patch is sewn on all four sides.  None of my other jeans (634’s, 888’s) are like this.

        Is this exclusive to this version of the 666 (666S) and is there a reason for it?

        14oz and 18oz vintage have this…14oz because it's too light for the heavy patch, 18oz vintage because, well we wanted it to look vintage.....

          Why aren't extinct products brought back from the dead and with the same model number? And why don't shirts have rivets?

            Extinct products come from endangered ones. Typically there is a good reason they begin life endangered and not extant

                    Just read back a few pages.  What's the reasoning behind soaking stuff (superblack, maybe others?) before putting it in the washing machine?  And what is it that makes the white lines on some stuff?  The spin alone?

                      Pre soaking reduces the chances of streaking. Agressive spin can cause streaking. Also the agitators of Washers in the US cause streaking.

                      Maybe so. Maybe not

                        The white lines are caused by abrasion. Some fabrics are thick, stiff or both and they can crease sharply in the machine. The edge of the crease is exposed to abrasion giving white lines. Low spin lessens the effect while  putting the clothes in wet prevents the sharp creases.

                          Thanks, @Matty123.  I just picked up on the pre-soak thing last week, never having done it before, but will do it in future.  I ruined a pair of CF 23oz blacks by getting streaks all over them a couple of years ago, but I wasn't struck on them anyway, so no loss, except to my wallet.

                            And thanks to you too, @neph93.  The abrasion thing on heavy fabrics explains my 23oz fiasco.

                                        I borrowed the above sentences from another thread here.

                                        What does O.G. mean?

                                        The journey is the objective.

                                            Definitely means original gangsta. Completely right. Used to mean original in many contexts.
