There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

Depends on your calf measurements…we need calf measurements by the crew

What sort of training do the military moles undergo before they’re turned into
IHSH-426? Or is that classified?

[Matt]

What a ridiculous question and perhaps my favorite of the day.

@Matt thanks. I like the topicality of yours. One day we’ll prove there is such a thing as a stupid question!

If I wear a 10.5 in Nikes what size would I wear in a purely theoretical 25 oz short sleeve western?

Read the thread, and take some measurements.

But in this particular case, the answer is purple.

Oh! And I’m 6’1 and weigh 195lbs.

I think what we are talking about is the absolute essence of the question, which can be boiled down to, "What size do I take?" Everything else is pure fluff......

[goosehd]

@Giles …and my answer is measure. The greatest tool you have to offer is right in front of our faces on every release.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd who are you calling a tool?

[WhiskeySandwich]

Is this another W?

[Giles]

Looks like one to me

Is there a reason that some shirts have chain stitching runoff and some do not? Is it to do with the cut of the shirt? Feel like I'm missing something obvious.

@gaseousclay:

don't know if this has been answered before but i'm curious why some shirts have the chainstitch runoff while others don't. I noticed that pretty much all Western UHF's don't have it but denim Westerns do. likewise, the UHF workshirts have the runoff as well as other random workshirts. Is there any significance to this?

Here are our "rules" 

All our shirts that have a gusset will have chainstitch run-off
All our workshirts have a gusset
Westerns typically don't have a gusset unless we want it to look more workshirty

[KyIe]

Interesting, thank you.

[Giles]

But, just to fuck with us and our customers, Haraki is definitely a proponent of "rules are made to be broken"

So there really is no rule, do not fret, it is nothing obvious......

[Alex]

Overdyed things often don't have them because the overdying damages the run off, for example

Two stupid questions from me:
Have given my first UHF shirt its first wash. Was tagged M and was just a tad too big, gave it a cotton wash at 40 with my normal shirts with the full normal spin. It has shrunk a little, am now v happy with the fit. Is there a risk of further shrinking if I inadvertently give it a ‘full’ wash again?

Second question is how much fabric is used up in hemming?
Just had a pair of 634 SB back from hemming. Unfortunately I didn’t measure the leg length before sending them back, but when cuffed them to work out the length I wanted, I did have around 3cm of cuff.
When they were returned with the removed material. It was only around the width of the chainstitch, around 1cm, not the 2.5 to 3 cm I expected.

Makes me feel a bit foolish asking for them to to be hemmed by such a small amount
