IH-555-01L I think is what I see printed on that patch. Those arcs are awesome. Any word on this pair? I saw it on an Instagram story and took a screenshot.
Edit: found a page called Limbro Denim. Seems to be an exclusive special edition only sold in Indonesia. The jeans are featured on an Instagram post but not on the website from what I see.

@SKT I believe this line over one side comes from how the pockets are sewn on with them starting on one corner, sewing right round the 'bucket' of the pocket, back up the other side, doing a 'u-turn' (which gives that line above the corner of the pocket) and then all the way back round again. So it won't be over both sides as they only need to make that turn around once.
Quite what determines what side that line is over is probably entirely random or at least dealers choice for the person sewing
@SKT See it being done here:

Anyone out there have a tie-dye kit they can recommend? Looking for something quality that won't run or mess up other clothes in the wash, etc. I've got all these white band t-shirts I never wear...

Not sure if this has been asked before - I'm wondering about the choice to use a zipper fly on cargo pants vs. buttons. I'm generally not a fan of zippers because they bunch weird and won't stay up. Would enjoy hearing about the design choices begin when to use a zipper or button on IH pants.

@setandsetting I’ve heard really good things about Dharma Trading Co. I’ve never tried them myself though.

Between the IHM-34 and the IHM-38, which is the warmest?
-
@long_john86 I had the IHM-34 for a couple of years until i realised i got a size too big really and moved it on, i'd get another if i could.
To answer your question, the 34 is far warmer than the 38, heavy whipcord outer and blanket lined inside, it's a real beast. The 38 is a good bit thinner on the outer and the inner lining isn't quite so insulating as the blanket on the 34. I'd think of the 38 as more of a spring/autumn coat where the 34 is very much a winter coat.

@Ross cheers Ross, really appreciate that insight. Do you know if the 34 will be back at some point? Looking to size up
-
@long_john86 No plans at the moment, but thats not to say it wont ever be back - or something similar
-
@long_john86 What size are you looking for? Saw an XXXL ODG recently over here in Germany.

Hey All
does anyone from the US have a carrier recommendation for international shipping; US to UK? -
@tody Cheers mate. I have it in an XL but want to size up to XXL. Not bothered about colour. Maybe I should throw this out there on a WTT thread…

@flannel-slut ups express saver. DHL is usually cheaper but the documents are not as dummy friendly as UPS. I'm the dummy in this example not you.

@CosmoSix5 thank you for the chiming in! And a v valid consideration point in terms of documents
