      @RazorD Welcome!

      The 19oz Left Hand Twill is significantly more rigid than the 18oz Vintage denim. Having worn both, I can say that the 19oz LHT takes longer to break in and soften up. Both are capable of producing great fades, but this depends on a number of factors, such as how long/frequently you wear them.

      There are a number of fade examples of these denims on the forum. A couple of good examples are:

      The IH-526L thread here whilst not jeans, it's the same denim and some great examples of the fades in there.

      Giles old 18oz pair are in the Hall of Fades here as well as some great examples in this thread

      The devil is in the detail..

        Thanks. Tbh, I don’t really care about the difference in softeners. More interested in how it looks over time and everything I read just showed me close up pattern explanations (very interesting but not helpful for what I wanted to know). I’ll look at those pages. Thank you!

          So now that I've narrowed my search, is there a rough idea how often the items listed as "CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION" will update inventory?

            @RazorD No, they will all come back in at certain points, but your best bet is to ask us if we have X model in production, and we can give you an ETA

              @AdamJ Thanks. IH-666S-18, IH-666S-21 and IH-666N are the 3 I'm seeking the most. Would you have a general ETA on those by chance?

                All "xxxN" - within 4 weeks, 666 could be the first to arrive in a week or two

                    Fall Restock?

                    Apologies if this is the incorrect place for this, can someone point me to when the latest restock will drop? There are a lot of sizes missing from current inventory.

                    Thanks

                      Of what?

                      But in general, we do not publish restock info until very close to the drop date, because there are so many variables. You can ask specific questions in the relevant product thread, but you'll likely get unspecific answers.

                        Hmmm…did this sailor sell me my favorite white shirt (IHSH 172 white) made from the offcuts of his bedspread?

                                      @endo Personal favourite for drip is Moccamaster, tried and true. Plenty other good choices as well though, Wilfa has some nice options for instance.

                                      I'm a bit of a coffee geek and typically do a pour over every day, but drip is certainly more practical for most.

                                        Thanks guys @Karol and @JunkPants! At home I also do pour over, but at work we need an easy-to-use machine. Guess I will go for the Mocca master, heard so many good things about it.

                                            @endo Excellent machine as we have a KBGV Select at home, use it daily, and highly recommend it. One thing to note is that the carafe is fairly small (about 4 cups of coffee) and you may need a bigger one if using in an office setting with multiple people drinking from it.

                                            They do have one called the CDT Grand that looks like it may fit your needs.

                                            Good luck and let us know how you make out.
