      Giles just mentioned this, it's funny how we feel quite differently about the way dates etc. are presented to us - I agree that Monday is first day of the week, but I always set my calendar to display Sunday to Saturday, it's just the way I like to view it (for reasons I cannot articulate)  🙂

      Much prefer 24-hour clock (no chance for confusion) and DD-MMM-YYYY is my preference, unless I'm using for a file reference prefix and then YYYY-MMM-DD means they automatically display in correct order.

      Presume I have now taken this thread entirely off track and will likely get a telling off from G…  😃

          Sat and Sun are called the weekend FFS  😃 😃 😃

          Indeed, and I would know: I always work THE WEEKEND… So Monday is actually my Sunday... My workweek starts on Tuesday... But in my mind the actual week starts on Monday, or as I call Monday: Sunday.

          Right!..

            I'm trying to find all sorts of colours and weights of chambray…...
            .I've been looking for a khaki heavyweight chambray for years now…..

            I’m counting on you, don’t give up!

            The journey is the objective.

              That would be great, @Giles !! I have a Flat Head tan chambray western that I love, but it is very lightweight. I'm not sure I've seen a heavyweight khaki chambray.

              Think it, be it.

                  A medium or high rise 777 for sure!

                  That would be the 555 really. The low cut is a specific feature of the 777. Alternatively, a sized down 888 may fit the bill.

                  They get close but those are different cuts… I like the slim and tapper on the 777 that are not present in none of of those two.

                    The 555 is slimmer than the 777 although has slightly more taper. The point is that a 777 with a higher rise wouldn’t be the 777 anymore. It would be a different cut.

                      @alexdefaro Have you compared the taper measurements on the 555 and 777,because I don’t see much difference in the measurements from the knee to the hem, and you get the higher rise of the 555.

                        Has IH ever considered doing one of these military sweaters? The one pictured is from Patagonia but I think IH could easily do their own take on this classic style.

                          Been asking for a commando sweater for years and there doesn't seem to be interest. It is a thing IH would do so well IMO. Duck pads, heavy ribbed wool in olive, black, coyote, and/or heather gray…

                          Think it, be it.

                            I agree. Seems like it's something that's inside IH's wheelhouse. You could use whatever fabric for the shoulder pads, whether it be duck, whipcord or maybe denim. Not sure how denim shoulder pads would look but the overall design of the commando sweater is cool imo. My vote goes to indigo  😉

                              There was a point in time where I was really into Frontier kind of wear. More specifically Cavalry/Bib shirts. While I think this might be a little bit too Wild West,and not really be inline with the IH esthetic,figured I’d throw it out there anyway. It would be really cool with IH snaps,it would work in denim,flannel,chambray,and be really next level in Moleskin. Last but not least when you take the bib off you have a popover shirt,which at one point I think Giles was considering.

                                I think one of my pitches was for an indigo one with denim patches. The evo on the patches would be very interesting and novel, not something I've seen on a sweater.

                                My personal preference is to also include the elbow patches like the original design–the Patagucci pictured lacks those.

                                I have this one in the green heather since my dream of an IH one remains deferred. Recommended.

                                Think it, be it.

                                    Being sampled now. I know this because I’ve literally just been talking to Giles about it. That means still a few months away.

                                        It isn’t a new denim and it isn’t a new cut so I think they get sent to Gosport, in G-san’s size, measured, tried on, and sent back with notes for eventual alterations.

                                            a plain indigo or black vest in the IHV-02 style - to wear with IH checked flannel shirts  😎

                                            The wabash version is awesome with a plain shirt - eg IH chambray - but too “busy” imo with a check  🙂
