side question: are there any openings in the stubborn crew?

side side question: are there any openings in Nashville, TN?

I am quite stubborn and have loads of skills.

I wish there were an IH store or vendor in Nashville!

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.

How much can I get a houseboat in Portsmouth for?

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.

Oh well… sail evē. [emoji23]

@mikebarhoot I have always thought the same as you…

@Matt have you seen those narrowboats? Doesn't seem like a bad plan, roaming the canals with the pensioners.

I’m actually scrolling through listings as I type this…

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?

[neph93]

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

@leafscan18:

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.

Came up this weekend when someone was remarking on the long sleeves of my Anny shirt after I let them try it on. I replied that that's a feature of the "western" style of shirt. What's the historical/functional reason cowboys needed longer-than-normal sleeves? My best Google-fu can't find an answer…

[Alex]

IH has longer than average sleeves on western and work so that they do not ride up your arms when leaning forward on your bike.. Handy for the taller non bike riders, too..
