@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.

[tody]

@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?

[Matt]

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.

[Nittpics]

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

666 18oz

[Matt]

Good length.

[Matt]

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

[goosehd]

@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.

[Giles]

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...

XHS Vest with tack buttons -> snaps

[neph93]

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

[Alex]

@neph93 I think that may be one of the reasons Haraki is always resistant when I suggest a rerun

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.

[pechelman]

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

[Giles]

Which, I think looks great

[jerkules]

Thanks @pechelman that’s really appreciated.

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

[Oaktavia]

@jerkules and what color is that?

[jerkules]

@Oaktavia the shirt is white with the purple graphic (can’t remember the - I was gonna go for either a bright blue/teal or a smoke grey

[Oaktavia]

@jerkules dude that would be the perfect color combo IMO.

[jerkules]

@Oaktavia teal or grey? I know you’re a sucker for teal
