        Beautiful, thank you @Jett129. In the first place I was just wondering if there were any with hand warmers. I understand that - originally - they weren't part of the denim jackets, both type II and III, but got more commonly with the type IIIs. Now, I learned there are also some type IIs with pockets, but it seems to be the minority.

          Overdying:
          Is this process done after the item is completely sewn or is it done prior to assembling?

                @Alex what, if any, are the challenges with making a heavier weight raw denim? Haraki made the 21/23, but couldn't he simply leave the XHS in "Loom state" and have a 23/25 (or whatever that number is) raw denim?

                  Haraki just doesn't like raw denim, basically. I don't think that there are any challenges, per se, other than that. He prefers to have full control over the way his products fit after shrinkage. The UHR is a international only denim, now, to my knowledge.

                    the little leather pulls and trim on various items like hooides and bags, where do they all come from?
                    Off cuts from your jackets or ? Mostly curious if any of them are using the same Himeji tannery as your jackets.

                      @Alex ahhh, ok that's interesting, and explains a lot. I love raw. I'll say it till my voice is gone — I wish the 18oz raw would come back. I know there's probably no chance but whatevs, I'll keep dreaming.

                        @pechelman I'm not sure, actually. We cut our own in Gosport for replacement from leather sourced by Simmons Bilt / Wesco, but I am not sure where Haraki gets his from

                          @popvulture yeah, we would love it too, and would love another raw too. Maybe once we fix whats broken, we can look to expand the line again

                            @M800sct1 Regarding N1 waxing, at least AFAIK the Fjällräven Greenland wax can be done with an iron only, doesn't need a heat gun. I did G1000 stuff that way, which worked. Or is it different with the N1 Whipcord? Or just easier with the heat gun? Did you already do it @Nik? I want to wax my N1, just ordered a few Greenland wax bars.

                                  I'm waiting for heat gun because apparently they can also help tighten up loose grain on leather

                                    Hi! My first post here… I have this shirt. Is it also a mechanic, and do you know model or name? Thanks!
