      The weft does not appear to be beige to me. Looks more like white if that helps.

        Not a lot.....

        The weft on the selvedge 21oz used to be white, Haraki changed it to beige some time after I started working with him, because he thought it would be better for my market.. So it could be old stock....

        What does the face feel/look like? The non-selvedge is super smooth compared to the selvedge.....

          It feels pretty smooth and even. No irregularities that I can see.

            @Giles said in IHC-06 - 21oz Indigo Denim Cap:

            I'm sure we can.  He is still not 100% happy with the patteren and is working on perfection at the mo'.  Here is his latest update to me:

            _Regular 21oz, CAP (IH-461 as denim) made 1st sample.

            @Giles said in IHC-06 - 21oz Indigo Denim Cap:

            It is the 634S selvedge denim.

            Haraki designed it so that it could be folded and stuffed into a pocket, but still retain its shape when un-schrunched.

              So I contradict myself in those 2 posts, classic 🙂

                @Giles the top quote refers to the sample cap while the second is to the revised caps. Not sure it that helps or changes anything.

                  The cap was billed as selvedge when it was sold. I’m pretty sure that it is. I had a non selvedge 21oz type III that felt different.

                      Ann, thank you. I did not even think that the cap I bought back from The US to The Uk for @Oaktavia could be non-selvedge. But once the questions started I realised that I did not actually know. Well, I did once, but obviously forgot....

                        @Giles seems as though it's the old 21oz selvedge with the white weft @sabergirl is this what you remember? Fascinating chat this evening.

                          Got a pair of jeans with two little vampire holes in the back pocket from the tag that was there I believe. Do these close up with wear and washing?

                            @bluemantra very likely to close up and never to be seen again after washing.

                              Has anyone ever installed a zipper on their heavy denim jeans? Is this considered sacrilege? Will I be walked through the street and shamed publicly?

                                      Tago, thanks! I'm still learing where everything goes in this forum.

                                      chrisjohnnick, I have the 634 in 21oz right now, but I'm looking at a pair of 633 in 25oz. I work in live production and half of my bathroom breaks are done as quickly as humanly possible.

                                        @popvulture It's interesting to see these recommendations. I appreciate them, but to be honest, I can't picture myself buying a stretcher. Maybe I'd create some kind of jig....
                                        The question it raises to me though is why the same malleability wouldn't occur from just wearing the pants as I have for the past five months... Would cold washing them help? A while ago I dropped a spot of acrylic paint on the pants and in trying to dab the spot off the dye really bled from the area in a way that scared me from washing them for good...

                                          I am probably just not observant enough, but does IH make a "greencast" denim? I prefer black denim but am a sucker for indigo denim that has that slight green undertone to it.
