    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…

                      @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.

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

                            Which, I think looks great 🙂

                              Thanks @pechelman that’s really appreciated.

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

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

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

                                          Curious if there's some more info floating around, but I noticed with all my pairs of denim, the indigos are always easier to break in/soften up faster than any of my black pairs. Is it because of the dyes themselves or is it a different process that might cause this? Sorry for what might be a rookie type question, just always wondered why that might be or if I'm crazy to think that lol. Thanks!
