Why is there always this post-IH meeting melancholy?

What determines an item becoming "continuous production"? I'm sure sales plays a part, but I also see lots of seasonal releases sell out in no time.

Generally just a subjective decision based primarily on the fabric and its availability over time

Can anyone recommend mid-length (slightly above knee level) bathing shorts for men* that are: good quality, fast drying, can be worn casually outdoors (basic colors, no flashy designs/logos etc.), preferably come with zipped pockets, isn't unnecessarily expensive?

*Available in the EU.

Anyone get uneven fading on creases on a shirt? My 293 right arm is a lot more faded then my left arm on all the creases. Any tips for kind of evening it out?

@wjw yeah man all of my faded shirts and jackets are faded differently on each arm. It is totally normal. If they matched up perfectly or nearly identical, wouldn't that be kind of strange? One arm always seems to fade quicker than the other, especially after they really start to pop like the ones in your photos. After about double that amount of wear (perhaps less), it wont be nearly as noticeable and will be well faded throughout.

Could be due to using one arm differently than the other, which seems likely.

[wjw]

@Oaktavia cool. This is the first shirt I've really faded, didn't know if it was par for the course or not. Never noticed it in people's post. Excited to see how this will look after it's eventual first wash.

[Oaktavia]

@wjw heck yeah dude. Is that a 293? It looks fantastic!

[wjw]

@Oaktavia yeah 293

Is it possible to get slimmer than the 777s?

Without using stretch denim? I feel like at some point your foot wouldn't fit through.

[CosmoSix5]

@petersmith I have a couple pair of 555 tapered to around 7.5" from more than 8.5. no issues for me. Even can do engineers with only slight adjustments. Jere are my tapered 21oz 555s

I recently picked up a pair of Kaptain Sunshine's shoecut denim. Loved the fabric, but couldn't get on with the fit so thought I'd ask if IH has ever done a slubby/neppy, hairy denim?

[Giles]

We have done slubby. Not neppy (yet).....

[Kingmob31]

Yeah, sorry @Giles, shouldn't have conflated the two. Neppy would be interesting.
