I recently was looking at the hemmed off pieces of my 777s  and 888NT. I noticed  color differences of the two Wefts. The S weft was almost a natural or ecru color while the NT weft was bright white in comparison. The S Weft appears almost beige. What are the differences between the two Yarns used for the wefts of these two denims?

Different colours?

At a guess the one will have been bleached more than the other.

[Matty123]

Ok, I like them both. I was wondering if it was intentional and why. But yeah different Colours.

Any chance you could post a side by side picture for comparison? Turn them inside out.

Yeah the 21oz flagship has a more natural colored weft which looks beige in comparison to most other white wefts.  It was one of the first things I noticed about the 21oz fabric.

Here's probably the best visual.  21oz on the  top and UHR on the bottom.

Thanks for posting those,definitely answered the question for me.

[manufc10]

No problem man.  It's one of the things that I like about the 21oz fabric, makes it more unique.

[Matty123]

Thanks bro! I’ve been so busy that  I wasn’t able To take photos.  But yeah that’s exactly what I was referring to. I was wondering if it was intentional and why. I spend so much time talking about this brand. I want to know so many things

Periodically I try to change my avatar. At one time it said file to large. Now I tried again, load the pic I want after I hit the browse button, but nothing happens. And yes I am logged in while trying this.

You’re avatar has changed. Since the Photo of the patch. Don’t know if that helps

I promised myself I wouldn’t ask about this until August: any news on the recycled 888s?

I'm definitely a Western shirt guy,and I would never want/buy a Western with traditional buttons,but would buy/love a Work shirt with snaps. Are the buttons important/critical to the Work shirt guys. This way Work shirts could have snap options. Not sure if this has ever been discussed,or even feasible.

No problem.  Cotton can naturally be yellow/off white/brown ish before it is bleached so my guess is that the cotton on the 21oz is just left as is and isn't bleached at all or as much as other fabrics.  I would believe it's intentional, yes.

Yes.  Everything H does is intentional.  He may want to darken or brighten up the face of the fabric, playing with the weft colour is one of the ways he achieves that….
