@Jett129 Agreed. I think it will be a while before we see it, but one can always hope. Maybe the more we talk about it...

Why don’t all my pocket linings have print?
I tried searching for the answer but couldn’t find anything. I noticed I have a few pairs that have a label/print on the pocket lining and some don’t. Is there a reason some do and some don’t?

@Duffputter Wondered the same thing today. 555 21 doesn't have any. Others I have seen do.
-
@Duffputter a lot of inconsistencies have crept in over the years. Something like this will be due to @Giles not directly specifying it when he made the first run of these jeans (same reason some jeans have flashers, and some do not) as he assumed that details like this would be carried over, but the Japanese followed the spec sheet to the tee. Prints in shirts, for example, Works decided to stop doing to try to keep RRP lower as costs rose, but we asked them to go back to doing it, so some shirts do and some shirts do not. etc etc

Hello dear friends,
I am in market for new pair of heavy denim IH, and can’t decide between IH-888-UHR – 21/23OZ vs 888 25OZ.
I checked out both but I couldn’t find any significant differences except the weight, I will appreciate some help can make it easier for me to choose one.
Thanks in advance! -
I would suggest reading the product threads for jeans of these denims. They’re VERY different.
Briefly: UHR is raw and will shrink significantly and mold to your body with first soak/wash. UHR is also a very dense weave, and has a crispy texture. XHS is one-washed. There’s still a little shrink in there, but not like UHR. 25oz XHS is very heavy denim, but IMO softens very nicely, and if you put in the time, eventually it can be the softest heaviest denim sweatpants you’ll ever own.

Hoping to get some help here on how to manage this pretty gnarly crease in the collar, which I’m assuming came from how it was folded up during shipping. Do people typically take an iron on a warmer setting to this? Curious on everyone’s advice. Thanks in
advance! -
@MSav32323 Wet it and try to straighten either by hand or with an iron. Since it’s the collar, try and iron it flat from the underside.
-
@MSav32323 That would make me crazy and I would iron it with steam from both sides until I got rid of it. But listen to @goosehd first,and if that doesn’t work try being a little more aggressive. I’ve done it with my vests,and have never had any issues.

The leveling rake is the only confusing item of the bunch to me, otherwise this looks pretty standard for fly fishing bums.
Can confirm.

@MSav32323 I often do a proper cowboy starch on my collars after every wash. I iron them flat, spray them with starch until they are wet, let them dry almost completely, then iron the crease where I want it. I like my collars looking fresh. With denim this heavy, it doesn’t get crispy like a dress shirt. It will still be softish. Just like new!

@Alex can you tell us any more about this new 16oz vintage denim that's used on the FW25 chore jacket and cpo? Is this the same denim used in the relaxed cut @Giles has been wearing?
I see that it's sanforized, but I'm wondering if there's any connection to the old 18oz raw vintage, i.e. is this an attempt to get something in that vain back in the lineup? Part of me thinks maybe because of the word "vintage," but maybe not due to it not being raw. Anyway, frickin' curious af over here.
