      for jeans that are sanforized but unwashed do these need to be washed before wearing to prevent the fades from shifting?

        They don’t need to be, but our advice is to soak/wash first to bed in constructional stitching before wearing

          If the jeans have been sanforised then fade shift will be virtually zero.

                I'm thinking about washing a never washed IH indigo shirt together with an old pair of IH jeans. Is there anything that speaks against that? I mean would you suggest washing them separately in the machine?

                  I'd chuck them in together....

                    Go for it. It could help darken your jeans. 😜

                      @Alex been wondering about the denim bottoms production backlog… I remember you discussing it on the podcast a while back and I’ve been wondering if it is getting sorted as time passes. I’m sure it’s frustrating, I was just curious and hopeful that it was moving in the right direction for you (and us 😀)

                          @Alex good to hear…moving is better than stuck. Thanks and hope it keeps getting better.

                            @Giles @Alex is the indigo/indigo duck that is used for the DD jacket the same 16.5/17.5 raw cotton that was used for the pants? In which case, would one treat a jacket of that fabric as raw (following the UHR instructions)?

                              Yes, I had this jacket and I treated as raw, and got decent shrink from it

                                  I think its also a streak magnet, from memory mate, so treat like UHR if it were SBG, if you know what I mean @Oaktavia

                                    It is, it is uber rigid and not being a twill weave does not help either.....

                                      Are these two items made from different Wabash fabrics? The IHC-10 Work Cap seems to be a different type of blue and the bleached dots appear slightly bigger and of a different tint of white. The weft also appears different, with the hat I can see the white dots through the weft while I can't see it with the 227. They are both pretty faded and the shades are quite different.

                                      1000077443.jpg 1000077444.jpg

                                      Anyone know if these are different versions of Wabby?

                                        Very possibly. The very first Wabash we did in 2010/11, we made into IH-811. Haraki was not 100% happy with it, so he reworked it and released IH-814 a year or so later. I suspect he used the original wabash for the IHC-10. Certainly looks like it....

                                        See here for a comparison.

                                          Ah, okay gotcha G, thanks. As soon as I took the IHC-10 from the box, I thought hmm...this looks different. The way the "regular" Wabash fades is more of a cool toned, darker blue compared to the warmer toned, more dramatic fades of the older one. I think you are correct in your suspicion. Both warp and weft appear to be different from one another.
