    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?

            @Go-For-Chill FYI, I have moved your question here. And no, certainly not sacrilege:

                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.

                      We do not I am afraid. And the reason we stopped using Zimbabwean cotton is that it gave our denims a green cast that Haraki did not like, so I can't see him trying to add one...

                        @mitzimeow I respect your opinion on it, but the $30 stretcher was the difference in me selling a $400 pair of denim at a huge loss.

                        To me it was a no brainer.

                        My first pair of raw denim jeans was some unknown brand that no longer exists and I sized them too small. I crossed my arms and dealt with it stubbornly for like 8 months thinking they would just stretch a little more and the problem would be resolved. That day never came.

                            @Tago-Mago That is a handsome vest I don't think I could pull it off though. I own one vest and it's the IH duck vest based on the type 3 and it does not get an appropriate amount of love. Oh, I lied I own two vests, and they are both IH - the second vest I own is my N1 vest from this past season. So, I'm a liar. I would buy pants made out of that material though!

                              Is it possible to single or double brush duck fabric (e.g. IH-256J or the new IHJ-147-BRN) and achieve a similar texture as the inside of e.g. UHFs or moleskin?

                                No, the weave is too tight....

                                          Ok, that looks pretty fun. Almost as good as what I had hit me in the face at my bachelor party…
