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?

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.

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......

[RoxRocks86]

This sounds promising

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?

[Giles]

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….

[Palmer]

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

[kkibbey23]

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

I am the fount of all knowledge  :-\

And I have no idea

Other that IH,the only other heavy weight jeans I’ve ever had are a pair of Old Blue 21/23OZ jeans. While they are really nice jeans it was hard for me to believe they were as heavy as their IH counterparts,which I also have. I think I recall some forum member saying that another brand of denims 25OZ denim didn’t feel as heavy as IH. Old Blue now has a 31/33 OZ denim. I’m definitely skeptical. My question is can you say your denim weighs whatever you want without fear of someone actually checking or asking you to prove that the fabric does in fact weigh that much? I think H has also commented on the weight of other heavyweight denim. Just curious.
