    The ombré UHF are labelled continuous production, but there is no set schedule as to when they will be back.

        Just a heads up that ombré is a pattern, and the colourway is purple and black for the shirt being referenced.

        Ombré patterns have come in quite a few colour ways historically and each new release (season) will often have a new ombré shirt with a different colour combination.

          there is something just great about that pattern. I'm not normally one for purple but it just seems different. The blue is nice as well. What are some of the previous colour combinations?

              Any tips on not blowing out jeans? I have trouble in the crotch area. Always the first place to give out on me

                Just find a good tailor. Jeans get holes. No big deal brother.

                  @Isaias-C Yeah it’s all in the game. I find certain types of cuts are more prone to it than others. It has a lot to do with body shape. It is generally an easy fix though. I mostly fix my own. Just choose a thread and cut out a piece of denim from unwanted hems, then sew it on the inside.

                    Say we wanted to OD a piece of IH clothing, could it be thrown in the bath with whatever else is in process?

                      You could dye it sure but the IH OD process is notoriously brutal on denim and involves some weird creole magic or something so I’m not sure how you’d replicate all that.

                        Mostly I was thinking if something were to be purchased new that wasn't offered in od. I assumed the original stuff that is sold as OD once started as plain indigo and it wouldn't be any worse than those. Clearly this would be a final purchase, at extra cost?, and add an unknown wait time to getting the item, but just curious.

                            I think that would present a big logistical challenge for IHUK. Since the OD process takes place in Japan, they would purchase the item like normal, it would be manufactured, shipped to the UK, sold to you, then shipped back to Japan to a different place to get dunked in the OD bath. Then it would ship back out to you. Or rather back to IHUK then back to you. That’s a big carbon footprint for one item.

                              @sabergirl speaketh the truth. Plus what happens if it gets knackered (we've lost a whole run of jeans before because the process is so brutal) or shrinks significantly...

                                Dye it yourself @pechelman here are my 21oz 888 dyed smoke grey in my washing machine

                                IMG_3628.jpeg

                                They're very similar to the black OD that IH does, but the inside is lighter, the constructional stitching picked up less dye, and the overall colour is more navy-charcoal. I was considering doing a completely different colour inspired by the red overdid denim shirt last season but the shop only had grey. Maybe next time I'd go green...

                                    Doesn't the OD process occur with extremely hot dye in a spinning vat? I don't think it's something you can easily replicate at home.

                                    Additionally, the whole purpose of overdying is to have it fade from black to indigo to white. Using black dye you buy off the shelf probably won't give you that effect.

                                        OK here it goes - I have a pair of 777s-142bb W:34 and I'm looking to get a pair of 777S-21oz - I was expecting that they'd line up to aW:34 as well - but it seems not - looks like a WW:33 is a better fit. I know the guide is to always look at the measurements and go with what is best...but I was surprised to see variability within a cut. So is variability within a cut (and within a material) expected? Thanks!

                                          Definitely. Using the size chart and not the waist size when looking at different materials in the same fit is the way to go.
