      The Stubborn Crew is us - sometimes we use/used it to refer to UK, sometimes to UK and Japan.  When Paula and I were spitballing descriptors for Iron Heart back in 2006/7 (I wanted something a bit more inventive than "Extra Heavy") we came up with "Stubborn", I suspect there are references to Stubborn Denim all over the place, it thus became a natural extension of that to call us the Stubborn Crew (even though it was effectively just me at the time)…..

                I’m sorry @chrisjohnnick but once I convince Katie expatriate and move to the UK I’ll be weaseling applying for the next available position. The seed was slyly planted in Gosport and I’ve been lovingly tending to it daily.  😛

                    Based on that Giles…Ive misused the term from the get go. I always understood it to mean ‘one who endures the stubbornness of the denim’ and have reference it many times when someone has posted they got their 1st pr.

                            I think a big downside to British boat life is that it's cold as nads. Not sure I could take it, haha… seems charming on many levels, though.

                              Does it matter? It's like the W or M on the right rear pocket, use it like you want to…...

                                    What about the 888 is attractive compared with the 633?
                                    @neph93 availability at the time. and even today, I don't think the 888 in 21oz are restocked anywhere. I think the thigh in the 888s and top block in general would work better. Although the 633's have conformed and stretched well to my body over time

                                      Attractive is subjective.  What you find attractive someone else may not  🙂

                                      IH-888S-21 is due for restock any minute…..

                                        Hello all!

                                        What is the typical default/ sample pattern size for a new cut of jeans? Is it 32 or something else?

                                          It has traditionally been W34  because that was @Giles size. May be different now.

                                            For me its the thigh measurement and roomy top block. After years of heavy squatting I have a large caboose and thicc thighs. In a straight cut like the 633 or 634 I'd need to size up twice to get the thigh room I need, but then I'd have a big flapping waist and pants that fall down. The 888 just fits my proportions perfectly.

                                            Take the dive...
