Thanks for the input/conformation!!
Yeah, I’m going to ignore it. Just adds to the shirt.

Here's one… Why is the modified 17oz Duck Type III ten bucks cheaper than the _un_modified 17oz Duck Type III? If the only real difference is the added hassle of manufacturing pockets, then I don't know how that extra step results in a cheaper garment. I imagine it's probably just a result of left-over pricing standards vs newer pricing standards, but it just struck me as a little weird!

Shhhh….. [emoji2958]
But I’d imagine you’re right. Initially the modded version was extant and the trad endangered (although the IHJ-46 has subsequently been restocked), they were also released at different times.
There may well be some «standardising» now [emoji23]

Looks like a bit of loom movement during the weaving process produced some unintended slub by dropping a warp thread. The washing may have puffed up the exposed weft, drawing your attention to it.
I’d also be in the «wabi-sabi/minor flaws are fun» camp. I have something similar on my IH-888-UHR, IH-666L-19 and IHSH-33 and generally enjoy the imperefections in otherwise flawless product. It gets on some peoples tits though.

@neph93 I am regularly amazed by your native-level command of English. Were you raised in an English-speaking environment or something?
…and thanks for your thoughts on the 17oz Duck Type III pricing anomaly!

Ah… you’re the second person to understandably walk into that trap. I’m a British national with English as a first language. I also teach it at high school. Not so impressive now, is it [emoji23]
Been living with the barbarians for twenty years though so it’s a miracle I can still write a decent sentence to be honest [emoji6]

Ahh, OK! That makes more sense now. You're right. Upon reflection… Not impressive at all

Was there talk of a waterproof/anorak, possibly F/W 2019?
If so, is there any info/pics that I may have missed.
I have a vague recollection there was a sketch on Boss talk. -
Oooohh…..exciting. Obviously being in the UK that is a much needed bit of kit. looking forward to more onfo.Thanks @Alex

@Alex That has been the only thing missing from the IH resume as far as I'm concerned, a decent waterproof hooded outers shell. It looks perfect.

@kkibbey23 Ive had a couple of issues with my 33. Both involving felled seams. The crew were great, and got the first issue sorted perfectly. I've now got another internal felled seam coming adrift. Heavy material and felled seems create problems I think when the thicker yarns of the weft and weave are more difficult to keep in place with thinner stitch thread…

When I select “replies” at the top of the “forum” page I get the “eek, sorry you’ve caught us with our
Pants down” message. I can’t look at replies. Anyone else getting this? -
Also @Giles did you ever get a chance to check the size of your Alden Chukkas. I was wondering how they compared to your wesco size
-
I will try and remember to do that when I am back in UK.
My bad boss. I thought u we’re back! Enjoy
