…calm down    She got her cake, but....I like pie...and sex.  Love you Mike!!! 

Pop culture has ruined me forever. I see this and my mind immediately goes to terrible turn-of-the-millenium frat boy movies. Formative years and all that…

I had a some cherry pie with vanilla ice cream last night. The whole time I was wishing it was a chocolate cake

During the FW22 livestream presentation @Alex you talked about 'snap upgrades' and I was wondering if it might be time to retire the now possibly out of date 'pimp'?

Does anyone know of a good Android alternative to Tapatalk?  Seems like it's getting worse. I haven't had a notification since June 1st.  Checked all of my settings (app and OS).  Just reinstalled.

Re: Tapatalk, I've never had a good experience with any UI over the actual website on any forum. This includes mobile web versions. Sometimes the width is a problem, but I find the single browsing interface much more efficient between a regular computer and phone. Then also it's nice to know you're not contributing to any potential extra 3rd party data mining or worrying about yet another place for personal info to get stolen.

For a different line of questioning:
Between the 21, 19, and 14oz fabrics, specifically for use in type 3s, which is the most windproof or least breathable? I'm assuming that these two qualities are directly related. Similarly, how do the different fabric treatments, eg super black, od, ib, sbg, etc affect this quality as well? I feel like my 21ODs breathe better than regular 21S but it's hard for me to know given how much more worn my pair of ODs are in comparison.

In terms of warmth, breathability, or windproof, how do each compare with the 14oz hoodies?

If you could only get one, which would it be? Weather up here is 40-75f for 80+% of the year.

We will be migrating forum soon and when then happens, Tapatalk will no longer be supported, but the mobile experience will be better than it is now.

from least to most:
19
14
21

Personally I find OD and SBG to be warmer and less breathable than regular indigo, but that could just be a subjective thing

I'm not sure that they are really comparable as like for like

That's great to hear, Alex!  Thanks!

[pechelman]

Many thanks, Alex. Appreciate the insight.

Very surprised to learn the 888 isn’t one of the top sellers. You would never deduce that by the excitement it generates on this forum. Shows the forum isn’t representative of the overall market, not by a looonnnggg shot.

This is something that we have had to learn the hard way. Although the forum is our best source of a lot of info, we do then have to apply a bit of global logic to things

[Nik]

Agreed that it is interesting that the forum and the wider market diverge. Wonder how that looks over time? Is the forum behind or ahead of the curve?

[Jestocost]

Not to soapbox, but: I don’t think it’s so much that the forum is “ahead” or “behind” the market, so much as the forum is a self-selecting population with different tastes and needs than the broader IH-buying public. Single-focus BBCode forums are something of a relic from before the Internet consolidated around the current social media behemoths. I would wager that most people familiar enough with the concept to be here instead of on /r/rawdenim are older (less likely to want to wear skinny jeans), have relatively unconventional or non-mainstream attitudes towards clothes and technology (ditto) or live a life that lets them spend a lot of time online (less likely to be able to wear skinny jeans). Thus, we adore the 888, 805s and 634, but the 555, 666 and 777 actually sell.

I don’t have demographic data on the IH forums to back up what I’m saying here, obviously. If anyone has real numbers I’d love to hear that I’m wrong. But anecdotally, I’m a very young millennial and I don’t know anyone else IRL who uses a forum like this. Some of the elder gen z guys I’m in charge of think I’m an old man because I spend my (limited) downtime at work on Reddit instead of Instagram or TikTok, lol.

I’m very curious to see how the demographics of the forum shift once the migration happens, though. I know a lot of people who don’t own PCs anymore and only use their smartphone. Maybe the mobile-optimized site will help with reeling them in?
