    @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.

                  Agreed. I've got 3 pairs of 634s at the moment, and each fits a little differently. Some are 33, some are 34. I once tried the 634 in the natural indigo, and neither 33 nor 34 were big enough. Definitely varies, chart is the best way.

                              @T4920 for some reason it wasn’t giving me an option to view any footwear threads, from the main page. No biggie.

                                Here’s a noticing I’ve been kinda curious about;
                                Since getting into this heavy weight clothing game, I find myself wearing more/ heavier clothes like jackets and flannels during times of the year where, in the past, I’d have been wearing just a t shirt. I simply can’t wait to start wearing my gear when coming out of the summer months.

                                Is it psychosomatic, or do I now get cold easier than I used to? Is that a slight breeze I feel on a 70 degree day? Better grab the uhf and leather jacket!!!

                                In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                  @Mizmazzle yup, same. Probably just conditioning and adaptation of your body to regulate its temperature control. Not weird unless you’re rockin uhf layers with winter jackets in the summer while everyone else is wearing shorts and tank tops lol

                                        @WhiskeySandwich shit. I think I might have a problem. Where ever could I go to talk about these issues with folks who understand…
