    @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.

            @GardenState can I interest you in a vest? This sashiko is soaked in green sulphur dye

              @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…

                                    @Karol I was handed down a Drizabone duster from a friend who passed away years ago. I have only had my hands on that oilskin duster and it's really nice quality.

                                    What I would say is, that brand is on par with Outback trading company here in the USA and the pieces my wife and I have hold up great for farm use and horseback riding.

                                    They state that some of their items are made in Australia while most are made in China. I'm pretty sure all of Outback trading is produced in China.

                                    What are you interested in from Drizabone?

                                      @jordanscollected thank You so much. The one I was looking at seems to be close to the piece I saw You in.

                                        @Matt not quite but it definitely felt like it, they have large rubber balls on the end so not too bad
