        @Denman-John Typically there is not, but I will let the IHUK crew confirm.

          @Denman-John No we don't do Black Friday sales, generally we just do one sale annually, which was earlier in the year

          The devil is in the detail..

            No on both counts.

            Dislike the Black Friday shit with a passion. I did it once or twice in the early days because I thought it had to be done. Then I realised I did not need to be part of an artificial construct. Does not mean we wont move some stuff into the Outlet if we feel like it.

            We have sales when it makes sense to us, we need to make space, want to have some fun in an otherwise quiet period etc etc

            And we never announce more than a couple of days in advance, otherwise we may as well do a general price reduction.

                @Giles That bit of curvy road is known as Caracoles. It is a 30 km stretch of 29 curves taking you up (down) 600 meters. 2200 to 2800 meters. Terrific fun but those 3 km fly by too quickly. Very steep incline. Averages 20%!!! Hell for heavy trucks, especially descending, where they cannot use disk brakes and must rely on engine braking/lowest gear.
                Enjoyment hinges on luck too. If you happen to hit heavy truck traffic, it becomes annoying. Happens frequently because it links Santiago (Chile) with Mendoza (Argentina), two big cities with significant commercial cargo between them.
                If you remember the classic car rally I shared here a month ago…they went through Caracoles.
                Btw, caracoles means snails…so I assume it

                The journey is the objective.

                      FWIW @Oaktavia @JoshC I’d personally just prefer about 2 inches more length to the straps. Having adjustablity just makes it dumbly and hardware gets caught on things.

                              @Oaktavia It’s called US129 and it is in Robbinsville,NC and I think at some point it might cross into Tennessee. Had to look it up,but it begins in NC and ends in TN.

                                        IB has a black weft and indigo warp thread in the fabric. XHS is your standard white/cream weft.

                                          Thanks! Right now, I’m wearing the IH 666 XHS daily for work, Monday to Friday, and it’s been 10 months with no rotation. I’ve been thinking about either the 888s or the 888XHSib. I’m super interested in the 21oz IH, but the XHSib also seems really cool. Sorry for rambling haha

                                            @MQR If you like XHS you'll likely feel similarly towards a pair of XHSib. They are amazing denim, my absolute favorite that IH makes, and I highly recommend giving them a try.
