Thanks guys. Some of the thread completely melted as if there wasn't any cotton or it also burned up. Pretty surprising with how fast this happened. What's really annoying is that the only reason I normally do this is because that double layer of fabric usually pinches me knee when bending; now I'm left with a bunch of spikey plastic bits that's kinda abrasive.

Sorry, maybe the thread is 100% polyester, As @arnc says, the main seam will be OK.

How is true goodness understood?

[goosehd]

@RobeOfTheMagi ???

[RobeOfTheMagi]

That's what it sometimes says on the cardboard back pocket adverts of the jeans. Is that an inside joke?

"It acquires because of the 100% cotton. And true goodness is understood."

@RobeOfTheMagi It may be one of those quirky Japanese to English translations that we all love.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

I see! It’s quite cool, that it’s never been changed !

We make a point of not correcting the Japlish.....

When Haraki first made a left hand twill, I said "ooh a lefty" - It's been Lefty Denim ever since

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Yeah, that’s a cool statement!

I’m really curious how the following chart/data is useful for the Stubborn Crew. It only gives them circa 6 days of advance info on item launch, so obviously not a useful predictor for production purposes. With that confusion in my head I have been lax at answering NO/MAYBE/YES, do it only sometimes even if my decision is already clear on said item.
Are you comparing ‘week old customer purchase intention’ with actual purchases?
Are you ramping up IHUK internet bandwidth if a mad rush to buy is foreseen to avoid website crashes?
REALLY CURIOUS.

@motojobobo Made this post last night in another thread:

@goosehd said in IHJ-130-BLK-NP - Reversible Tanker Jacket - Black:

@A-eye-Kev From what I read the other day, it’s not really used by the IHUK crew. It is a feature that was added to this platform at the start of last year, and something that may be used to gauge interest moving forward as more people start to use it.

Could be one of those right tools at the right time kind of things.

Thank you @goosehd . Sorry to make your job harder by twice asking the same question.

[goosehd]

@motojobobo It’s not and good question to be asked. It does allow the crew to post the items on the calendar which is helpful for people to see at a quick glance what days items are being released.

See here

Edit: The calendar is found at the top of the page and highlighted in this image:

I believe the issue is that regardless of how the question of “who’s gonna buy this?” Is asked, the answered will almost always be too unreliable to be anywhere near useful.

@flannel-slut Look up "lime oleo citrate". It is a method to yield a larger amount of flavorful lime juice from one lime than just squeezing it. It's used by bartenders to reduce waste and produce better tasting drinks.

[flannel slut]

@jonpwn even out of season, I never recalled limes being as dry as they have been this Spring. Regardless, posts like this is why I LOVE this forum. You put me down quite the worm hole looking into this lime oleo citrate. I started off skeptical but the more I looked into it, the more I was sold. Literally just added citric and malic acid to the grocery list. Cheers man
