      It's either a yard squared or meter squared loom state regardless of width.

      @Geo:

      a yard

      but confusingly yards of material come in different widths . . . more commonly 36", 44-45" and 54"

        Geo, the standard that we and all of the Japanese companies that I know of, use oz per square yard, so width of bolt irrelevant….

        every day i learn something new - thanks G

        so to get the weight a piece of raw cloth 1 yard square is weighed (and the same cloth sanforised is cut to 1 yard square and weighed in a similar manner)?

          hmmm, strange way to meassure things  (you are an engineer as well, Geo, am I right?).

          Thank you. I was comparing my work clothes (300 grams / m^2) to IH gear.

          yup - an engineer . . . and i couldn't get my head around wtf a unit of mass was being used to measure density but i think Mr G has cleared that up for me 🙂

            Yes, hence the 21/23 designation on the IH-634SR Annies.

                          nope all that stuff is Iron Heart powered.

                          i keep it Iron Heart as it's proven. . . tend to get disaponted when i buy other brands & their product is good but not up to the standards i have become used to  😠

                          oh & how is it decided what items come in 35 w.  some 35s in any new worker trousers would be a good thing

                            We did a small run of 634S in 35.  They sold slowly, so we stopped.  I did the TWHR01 in 35 and they sold reasonably well.

                            The issues with not doing it more regularly are:

                            No retailers will take them (indeed, I have a few retailers that only take even waist sizes, period)

                            Haraki wont sell them (as it back fired on him in Japan when he tried it with the 634S)

                            So I have to take all that are made, which means that I have to hold more stock etc etc etc

                              What tee's/shirts are on either side of the trucker hats sandwhiched inbetween the long sleeve striped border tee's.

                              there is a nice dark charcoal one with red script on the right side of the trucker hats?

                              thanks for the help

                                of course i'm not happy with it, but i can't argue against that reasoning  😠

                                      i think it is just a different colorway of a previously released tee.  the nomenclature of the original escapes me at the moment.  the question that might also help is how old is this picture. . . .

                                        they have the same tag as the IHTB-01's, instead of the normal tee tags, so thats why I'm wondering…. and the pic can be that old since the truckers and IHTB-01 are this season and also the shirts in the background, etc..
