      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.

                            Whoops, we recently changed the way we present the retailer listing and forgot to update the "iron Heart Stockists" thread.  I have done that now, but here you are:

                                    …I've got to get my hands of some of this O.G. wabash, someday.  It's so different.  Always wanted the chore coat, but I don't think very many were made...

                                    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.

                                          I think Ice-T introduced this term with his song? Or at least brought it to the mainstream.

                                            And here I was thinking I'd make a funny remark about being gangsta, but then it turned out to be correct… 😛

                                            A question that needs an answer:  Why within the denim community do we "cop" things when we buy them?  I rarely see that term being used outside of denimhead-land.
