@setandsetting:

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?

[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.

[Giles]

Basically you can claim what you want and if you're lying, hope no one calls you out.

H always underestimates weight, to be safe….

[Kasi]

For that reason am sticking with Iron Heart.

Not going buy any other brands, overall Iron Heart jeans are heavyweight more..

@Giles  what is the deal with the IHSH-266’s I’m seeing in the .jp crew IG’s? Same shirt as the IHSH-68’s, just with non metal buttons, or are there other differences?

[Giles]

@neph93:

Same shirt as the IHSH-68’s, just with non metal buttons,

Here in a week or two…..

[neph93]

Cool! Standard 12oz wabash though?

[Giles]

Yep

I saw someone asking about machine washing ultra heavy flannels a couple days ago, they were worried about them shrinking. Then a crew member replied. I can't find the post now.

Do any of the moderators or crew remember seeing this post?

I wanted to add a couple thoughts there. I tested out a hypothesis today about machine washing a UHF and it didn't shrink. I was actually able to stretch the biceps and gut area essentially making a shirt that was too small fit me perfectly now.

[Jett129]

I machine wash all my UHFs in cold water and line dry,and if there’s any shrinkage it’s negligible. Have never put one in my drier…AKA The Shrinkmaster 9000
