@Bfd70:

Makes total sense. I think part of my issue is that I’m buying at a smaller waist size. The finished product needs to be right around 30”. At that size 1” too big makes more of an issue proportionally speaking than 1” too big at 38”.

I totally understand the nerves. If you need a 30” waist the buy a pair with true measurements of 29.5”-30”. The guys will help you with that. They are experts at it.

Is the black x black 14oz Type 3 exclusive to Self Edge? It'd be cool to get one in 4XL but they don't carry my size.

We gave SE the lead on this.  We will be making it and offering to other retailers.  mJust need to get the denim remade, which we are waiting for that, we are doing an indigo/black version…...

I’ve reached a point where I’d like to start wearing rings which speak to the day ahead. Never wore them before, other than a very low key standard wedding band. I’d like to read up on ‘everything bout rings’ before I get my first GAH one.
I’d be very happy to get recommendations here on what is interesting ring reading material. Thanks!

I personally cannot recommend highly enough…while the only ring (other than my wedding band) is an IH ring,
I have GA necklaces, bracelet, and clips (oh, and masks) and it’s all the highest quality.

Josh is the best (well, maybe tied with Giles)  and every item they make is amazing...you really can’t go wrong!

That is very kind of you, but seriously the extent of my creativity is limited to telling people how large the fish I lost were…..

I'm sure it has been (as always) asked many times before… But which of the following is the one that keeps the "warmest" (based on the breathability, thickness and etc.) if we had to put them in an order? (warmest > y > ... > coldest)

634S-21
634-XHS
634S-142
634-XHSib
634S-142ib

[Giles]

634-XHSib
634-XHS
634S-142ib
634S-142
634S-21

Would be my guess

Can I ask a leather question here? (Mods, forgive me if there is another thread for this - and feel free to throw me over there instead.)

Is leather dyeing a thing? Does anyone know of a reputable place in the UK (pref. London) I could get some tan leather darkened?

Or am I talking complete nonsense?

Thanks all…

[neph93]

Perfect thread choice @Polly.  It is a thing, but who could do it for you is beyond me. I’d get in touch with Simmons Bilt. They are friends of IH, based in Scotland and I’d imagine they know someone.

[Polly]

Thanks so much, @neph93 - will do. (And will try NOT to buy a leather jacket in the process…)

I'm going to be spending a month in Maine. I'm trying to travel relatively light. Is 3 denim jackets overkill? 

[Jett129]

Where in Maine?

Not in the least. I had two with me on my recent road trip through Norway, plus a type III vest. We aren’t savages after all.

Phippsburg.

We'll have a washing machine there so I'll save space by only bringing 2 pairs of underwear and washing one every day. Gotta make room for jackets.

Was there a plan for a 634S-21 in Indigo/ Black?

[Giles]

There is no 21ib…...Yet......

This sounds promising
