    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

      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…

          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.

            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?  😃

                  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.

                      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?

                              I know… I just specifically added the 634S to the question just to make sure 😃

                              Looking forward to 21ib

                                I'm fairly certain that I read about a 666XHSib being released eventually back when the pandemic had just started. Is that still a planned product?

                                  All of the core cuts; 555, 634, 666, 777 and 888 are being released in both XHS and XHSib.  Most have now arrived so I'm assuming the 666's wont be far away….

                                    Excellent! Thanks for the information. I have the 555 version but the 666 is my preferred cut.

                                      For the last few years I remember the 888s had bigger pockets compared to other cuts..

                                      I just got my new pair of 777XHSib and these seem deeper than my other pairs? Am I nuts or have the pockets changed to be similar to 888s?

                                        Probably, they cause low waist wider pockets
