        @Oaktavia:

        What are your (anyone) thoughts on raw cut hems/cuffs?

        I cut my 666XHS an inch too short when I was going to hem it, so just left it raw. I serged the end with a dark navy thread (even though I'm sure it was unnecessary). I actually love it that way now. Raw hems look rad in my opinion if you don't intend to turn up your cuffs.

        Wants List:
        IHSH-20-Red, XL
        IHSH-208-Indigo Kersey, L-XL
        IHSH-254-Grey Kersey, L-XL
        IHSW-45 Black, M
        IH-526SV 21oz type III, 38 or 40
        IH-777S-SB size 32
        IH-777S-142 size 31 or 32

          I also love raw hems on tshirt sleeves if they're the thin kind that will roll up after a wash and dry. I have tons of Imogene + willie tees that I've pretty much done this to every single one.

                  Mango season is hitting early this year and I’ve decided to give it a shot at making something with them. Don’t know ANYTHING about making fruit preserves…I’d appreciate any links to recipes/youtube videos which you find useful, or any home recipes you may have. Preferably without adding sugar to the mix. I’m generally a low-sugar dude.l These are sweet enough as they drop off the tree.

                  Today’s pickings. They are really coming down.

                  The journey is the objective.

                                are the pockets in modified jackets and vests cut differently for a jacket vs vest or based on the weight of the denim?

                                Noticing that the 14oz jacket pockets and internal pockets and smaller and taller whereas the 21oz vest pockets are lower and longer, if that makes any sense.

                                    So if we have our eyes closed, it's dark or we are blind, we can tell which note we have in our hand. There's also the brailley bit, but size is easier…...
