Wow @pechelman this is the best denim-nerd mad scientist ish I’ve seen in a while. Bravo

thanks y'all. Hopefully no one thinks this is me trying to be authoritative or whatever. The density results are kinda meaningless imo, which is why I intentionally called it "relative density" and omitted any real units, but I thought it too ridiculous not to share.
I am genuinely curious about how fabric weight is determined now if one of the crew might be able to shed some light. Is the final woven fabric actually weighed in some method or is it based on some characteristic of the input yarns? Or something else?

@pechelman Freaking real deal denim science....seriously rad! Even if its not necessarily "Authoritative" some real thought and effort went into this.
-
@pechelman The way I understand the technique is that a cutout of a specific size is made, weighed, and then it‘s calculated from there.

I think it’s a square yard of the fabric.

@Jett129 This is what I found online: https://stonemountainfabric.com/what-gsm-means-and-how-to-use-it/
So that type of cutter is used:

From the little I know through other hobbies from audio, knives, sharpening, fishing, etc, Japan has their own highly-intentional way of doing everything. I wouldnt be surprised if this was the case here also with measuring or calculating fabric weight and it might differ from what's standard in "the West".

@Jett129 Here's a conversion table: https://www.ginifab.com/feeds/ozyd2_gm2/
You just have to convert both units, oz to grams, and square yard to square meter.A lot easier than converting fuel consumption, where you go by miles per gallon, and we go by liters per 100km, so there is a totally different reference point.

Not sure where else to ask this.

@CosmoSix5 here is the link Anniversary Flannel with the sizing chart.
Also moved your question to this thread.

Hey Forum peeps…we’re looking at having new windows put into our home and are in the process of getting quotes. We had one company come out for a quote and it seemed astronomical.
Wondering if anyone has gone through this process lately and have some experience with pricing etc.We have 22 windows we’d like replaced. Dude quoted us $60k at retail. This guy is a family friend and said he could get us employee cost for half price. Sounded like a good deal in theory but $30k still seems astronomical.
Anyways. We plan to ge more quotes and research more. Just curious if anyone has some fresh, first hand experience.

I never really got to the bottom of FreeBee, other than I think it was an early version of Triple Works. By that I mean, stuff that H wanted to make, but did not think it fitted in with the IH aesthetic…..
@sabergirl Thank you!
