    Is it better to hem before or after break in? If doing it before, how do you know how much it will come up due to whiskers/honeycombs etc? Appreciate any thoughts on this!

      @meltdown It is completely personal preference and dependant on the fabric of the denim, for example if you have a pair XHS or UHR denim you will get approximately 1-2" of shrinkage in the denim so I would recommend washing them before getting them hemmed just so you take out all of the potential shrinkage within the fabric and dont end up shrinking them to a length that wouldn't work, whereas a lot of our other denim is washed once and sanforised so there should be little to no shrinkage. I would always recommend adding a 0.5" on to your normal length if you are worried about any shrinkage or loosing some length from honeycombs but that would be very minimal and you probably wouldn't notice it.

        @JoshC Thanks for the prompt reply! If looking at 555 or 888 in the 21oz, they are sanforized so just add 0.5" to the inseam measurement of a pair of jeans I like would be a good starting point?

        Say I add the length but it still ends up being too long, could a re-hem work? Or the amount of fabric needed to be cut & rolled be too much depending on how much I wanted to take in?

            @Mister_Brue hah, I would need to make a new one. I like the natty leather just as well though.

                Have you ever considered a platypus patch?

                  @RobeOfTheMagi I’m lost. Would you be able to expand on that a little?

                    Like the leather patch with the octopus, but with a platypus instead. They're great creatures.

                    It's probably more of a question to the IH crew I suppose.

                      @RobeOfTheMagi The octopus was chosen because it was to symbolize the 888's (i.e. 8 legs). Not sure where a platypus would fit in exactly, but I'm sure the guys could chime in.

                              I love psyduck, confusion is also one of my super powers! The patch however is still too ducky, I suppose.

                                @meltdown Yeah if your looking at the 21oz, you can add 0.5" just to be safe, that way you can always have them cut down shorter if you ever need to, we can always take off more but can never add it back on.

                                If you want to roll/cuff the jeans you will want to take that into account on the overall length as well, for example if your inseam is a 30"leg, and you like to roll your jeans twice with a 2" roll, you will need to add on 4" to allow for the two 2" roll/cuff, so you would want the length to be a 34" when you hem them.

                                  @pechelman @Oaktavia @saber here is a Skull Cap Lynne made of 21oz Denim that I have been wearing, which is a first draft that we will tweak but gives you a little idea, we have also been playing with tote bags as well.

                                    @JoshC that's cool, glad to see more items being made from the awesome 21oz. Skullcap looks good on you, pairs well with beard.

                                      Got to imagine that a denim skull cap has to be made-to-measure, no? Might make it difficult to produce at scale?

                                      Looks cool though!

                                      Take the dive...

                                        @EdH so Lynne actually found a template for what was a size "Large" I believe and just fits my big old dome of a head, the back of the skull cap does have a elastic strap that is denim wrapped to allow for some movement, but we would probably look at couple of sizes and alter maybe do something similar to Papa Nui and there sizing but definitely wasn't made to measure, just lucky it was good fit for me.

                                        @Oaktavia im not normally a huge hat guy, but I have had a couple of skull caps now and actual dig it.

                                          Very cool, @JoshC. I’d love to see more tote bags—maybe slightly smaller “portrait” orientation one with longer straps? My 25oz tote is my daily, but it’s a struggle sometimes to bend my elbow for a one handed swing over the shoulder. If the strap were just a few inches longer it would be effortless.

                                          I love to see this experimentation!
