@Karol sulphur dyed warp and weft so it should fade something like this
Note: Have not seen a faded example of the 21oz Black SST denim yet but given it's dyed the same way, it should fade along those lines
-
Is there a huge difference between the weave for a UHF vs a Denim? Could IH produce a denim shirt that was Buffalo check? classic Indigo squares with natural squares but in the stiffer unbrushed denim fabric? not sure if i'm asking this right.

That looks great in my head, as does an ombré version with yarns dipped variably dark.

Google uncovered this and yes I do like. https://propercloth.com/dress-shirts/japanese-indigo-ombre-plaid-flannel-158658.html

@DeeDee85 Self Edge has the 633 cut in the 18od. I’ve got a pair on the way, looking forward to trying them out
-
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot thanks mate, I’ll have a look

When did you switch from this seam to selvedge?
-
I think I first specced a selvedge fly for the IH-666S (the original raw 18oz Devil's fit) and the DC4001. At the same time I asked that belt loops be sewn into the waist band and the rear pockets to be lined. All subsequent jeans I specced, I asked for those features to be included, (though I may have forgotten to request it on some iterations). The IH-634S would have been the last jean to adopt those features (if indeed they even have yet) as it required chagnes to an established "thing" and the Japanese are not very good at dealing with complications like that.
-
That's really interesting, thank you for elaborating, Giles! Does that mean the most recent iterations of the 634s still don't feature a selvedge fly?
-
@RobeOfTheMagi Seems to vary by 634 model. Most say "Selvedge side seams and fly construction" some (like 25oz) "Selvedge side seams"
