[Matt]

So are you thinking UHF or 9 oz selvedge for that 10 re run?

[Alex]

@Matt what do you think would be good? Maybe 9oz…

[Matt]

They’re so versatile.

@Alex Is this the Iron Heart museum? Where pieces are stored for preservation and safe-keeping?

The flannel rails above are the ones under the orange line. You can't really see much due to all these boxes of leather jackets waiting to be QCed, but the room has rails on every wall, some of them 3 deep, all full of archives

@Alex Do they keep a certain size of each, or is it random?

[J-IV]

@Alex I wonder if theres any TW or FreeBee gems tucked away in there

[Alex]

@Go-For-Chill usually sample size (L)

Wrong……

@Giles thank you for the info, damn fine watch you have! Spring drive is tech marvel!

@Giles that fabric is nasty in the best possible way! What weight is that if I may ask? Looks soft but thick?

[Giles]

Maybe 12oz, but bulky for its weight
