What's 'Sizing agent' ? @Giles

From Wiki:
Textile warp sizing
Sizing the warp
Sizing of the warp yarn is essential to reduce breakage of the yarn and thus production stops on the weaving machine. On the weaving machine, the warp yarns are subjected to several types of actions i.e. cyclic strain, flexing, abrasion at various loom parts and inter yarn friction.With sizing, the strength — abrasion resistance — of the yarn will improve and the hairiness of yarn will decrease. The degree of improvement of strength depends on adhesion force between fiber and size, size penetration as well as encapsulation of yarn. Different types of water soluble polymers called textile sizing agents/chemicals such as modified starch, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), acrylates are used to protect the yarn. Also wax is added to reduce the abrasiveness of the warp yarns. The type of yarn material (e.g. cotton, polyester, linen), the thickness of the yarn, type of weaving machinery will determine the sizing recipe.
The sizing liquor is applied on warp yarn with a warp sizing machine. After the weaving process the fabric is desized (washed).
Sizing may be done by hand, or in a sizing machine.

I gotta say! This is one beautiful interpretation of a type 1.. That Indigo duck wears so freakin good! There aren't many jackets from the classic shapes over time that id say that ever trump the OG ones, but this baby.. yep, cut that boxy shape out, and some killer evo wearing duck and waalaa! Though I am inclined to agree with @vizsla on the OG shorter waist. Killer wear btw @vizsla nicely worn bro. Oh, and Ive only just ordered one.. Been hiding my wallet from IH a while now.. Seems the wallet moths are out flying again! yeeew!!

Received my size L today! such a good fit! And oh man.. This is going to be one hard baby to break in! but I cant wait! Gonna beat this baby like it owes me money!

@AdamJ @rocket @twin @madmonday thankss broo! Yeah indonesia is mostly tropical weather and sometimes heavy denim doesn’t work well for make your body feels warm when gets cold but still.. its too hot in here!, but on the last sept to march there’ll be rainy but the lowest temperature in jakarta is only 28’c and midnight only or in 2 - 5 a.m.

Awesome evo, almost too crazy!
-
Great shot, and I've found the right thread for it now thanks @Wlemon and @BloodnThunder. I was following the fabric not the style. And Saison Dupont had been consumed

@neph93 After a couple of beers, pockets begin to appear and disappear, even multiply. Identifying a type 1 vs. a type 2 should be a special sobriety test.

Awesome look on that leather jacket @Pygmalion ! How old is it?
-
Thank you.
It's about ten years old and worn mostly when riding. Very heavy FQHH. Thick and and stubborn. Makes IH 25oz feel like velvet. The lining is Lochcarron Buchanan tartan.
-
That jacket is absolutely gorgeous @Pygmalion ???
-
Thank you @doguhanca. I think there are no shortcuts with leather or denim. I choose the thick and heavy ones and then just wear them like they are supposed to be worn. And I dont patronize them. That jacket for example has not yet been treated with anything. No oil. No nothing. Maybe after 20 years or so.
