      That is such an interesting read. And you are 100% right with your conclusion that people (me at least) don't buy for the weight, but for the quality.

      I can imagine though, that customer get drawn in by the heavy, by that get to learn the quality and, finally, then opt for all the other amazing products, heavy or not. Am I right with that?

      Use it or lose it.

        That was my journey, @weftyarn , though I would add the level of service and ethics that the international team consistently demonstrates figures in as well.

        Think it, be it.

            Man, @Haraki-san is such an honorable gentleman. Love hearing stories like this from Giles' interview:

            He’s really honourable and fair when he comes up with something for us, or we come up with something like the 666 or the 555. He refuses to take it, even if I say he can…often for years, because it was our idea.

            I feel like ethics are in decay everywhere I turn. I keep being disappointed by people not honoring their word or consistently living by a moral standard. I love supporting people who understand that morals and ethics matter.

            Anyway, it's a great piece and everyone should read it.

            Think it, be it.

                      To be fair… that shirt is rugged, a pleasure to look at and has a very soft hand. Just like Giles.  Oh, and it’s quite thick too. [emoji2960]

                          Had to look that shirt up,and in the description it says it’s about 70% heavier than our heaviest flannel. Just out of curiosity…When was that shirt being made and what was the heaviest flannel back then.

                              Thanks G. Fun to go back and read some of the old posts,especially some of the banter between you and @Seul  The shirt seemed pretty popular back then.

                                  Giles is listed in the description of this model.
                                  "Giles wears tag 34". The vitals is there.
                                  Did size 34 feel baggy after stretching? Could Giles be tolerable or comfortable with a size 32 or 33?
                                  If possible, show me the measurements (as in the measurement instructions on this site) of your favorite skinny jeans please.
                                  Giles appears in the descriptions of all clothing models. I suppose it will be easier for everyone to compare the data with their own.

                                    I could probably wear a 33 and may even be able to squeeze into a 32, but it would be uncomfortable.

                                    My favourite cut is the 666 and what I wear in most models will be on the product page.  I don't have a favourite jean, I wear samples as and when I need to.

                                    My vitals are here….
