      To cuff or not? (I am talking about demin shorts.)I never cut a pair of my heavy IH denim down into shorts, but i am going to do with an old pair off 666. Should i go 13 inch inseam to the top of my knee cap so i can cuff them or go shorter? Dont want to pay to get them hemmed twice locally.

        @Nittpics That is a really hard question to answer. I think it all boils down to your preferences and the look that you're going for. You might try measuring a pair of shorts that you currently own and playing around with the hem length until you find what you're looking for in terms of length and styling.

          @Nittpics I like the cuff look on others but I would avoid it myself. My white AF basically hairless legs need no attention drawn to them. so there it is, a useless bit of info added. Personal preference it is.

            @Nittpics cut it yourself, roll it up twice to hide the cut, see if you like the look? then go from there and have it hemmed at either length?

              Do a turn up, that way you have a cuff and the unfinished hem. Best of both worlds and not as “clean” looking as a regular cuff or finished hem. Also the length should be able to accommodate no cuff as well since it’s just a turn up.

              Best to avoid the suburban dad jorts white sneakers look when wearing denim shorts.

                Could have gone just slightly longer, but not too bad. Doubt I’ll cuff due to taper of the 666.

                    I’d have gone shorter.

                      In IH history has there ever been an idea for a product that has made it up the chain through the design process but proved impossible to execute (due to construction , materials etc.. )

                      I'm aware of the loombreakers but I wonder if there was anything that was even more unweildy

                        @GraemeE Just guessing, but I think a 25oz Type 3 might fit that criteria. It is the only thing that has been repeatedly said, it is impossible to make.

                          Dont think we ever tried a 25oz Type III, it's that challenging, H just says no.

                          The original Johnny Cash was conceived to be made out of 21oz non-fade superblack. We made a sample (the seriously skilled seamstresses work in sampling), but just could not make it to a decent, predictable quality in production. We eventually released it is 16oz...

                              @Alex and even then the snaps only just do the job. Although my increasing girth may be part of the problem…

                                  If I overdyed a white 7.5oz tee, will the white stitching take up the dye or is the thread polycotton? My favourite white tee is looking a bit greige after repeated washes, so thinking of rejuvenating it a little by changing the colour.

                                    When I did one the stitching did not take up dye in any meaningful way, especially after washing it a few times. @jerkules

                                        Thanks @pechelman that’s really appreciated.

                                        I like the look too @Giles, but it may inform my colour choice 👍
