@pechelman Motorcyclist use extenders on their vests so that they can wear them over their jackets. If you had a piece of denim with snaps on each end you could extend/loosen the diameter of the cuff. It may seem like a lot of work,but then you could use them on any other western where the cuffs were too tight. Doesn't have to be denim just be able to hold the snap.

Work or western? If it’s a work shirt just resew the button closer to the edge of the cuff.

[pechelman]

Western shirt with snaps at the cuff. It's mostly my fault because of my watch but the cuff is the smallest of any IH shirt I have.

[Matt]

When wearing a watch I usually just snap the top snap and leave the bottom snap open.

[goosehd]

Same.

[pechelman]

unfortunately it's very tight with either snap. maybe this means i need a new watch....

thanks though guys. was hoping there was another clever thing i could do

Does anybody have any examples of any hickory stripe fades? It's kinda an enigma to me because it seems like a cool fabric but it's kind of hard to get a good look at it in photos and I can't find much for fades out there

Oh wow. Given enough time, it really visually softens up doesn't it? How fascinating. Thanks guys!

My brother got a used IH jeans online and - since it didn't fit - gave it to my eldest son. Looks great on him. But I have no idea what kind of pair it is. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture, so we have to deal with a description: it's indigo denim, probably about 21 oz, rather boot cut, button fly, has a red W but no arcs. What is it?

[goosehd]

@endo Not the 461’s or 463’s as both had arcs. Possible that they were removed? People have done it in the past…

[sabergirl]

The arcs probably got picked out, @endo . If they’re really boot cut, I would suspect 461, which I think has had a button fly version? But, if those have never been made with buttons, I’m stumped.

I have been wearing this hickory hat every day for about a month. Some fades and patina are present.

[endo]

@goosehd @sabergirl perhaps not real 'boot cuts', but def slimmer in the knee

[goosehd]

@endo How's the rise? Might help narrow it down.

[endo]

sorry, no idea. I'll ask for fotos.

[Giles]

The patch if it's still there, would help.

And are they selvedge?

[sabergirl]

Might just be a 634.
