I had the guys at IHUK do a chain stitch hem on my 735 work pants…kind of spoiled me on all other hem types for pants. Just seems more robust? But that could be the kool-aid talkin’ and I’m sure either one would work fine Also I’m no help

Chain stitch will add that subtle “roping” effect to the hem, where a traditional lock stitch will just be straight and clean; nothing wrong with that on chinos/fatigues. However, a chain stitch can make them feel a touch elevated, and give your ego a little tickle for the little detail…

Chain stitch is less robust to my understanding. Looks better though.

@NickD ahh…I was just assuming. Thanks for the info. I guess visually it looks stronger because of the amount of stitches?

To clarify i typically have a chain on all my denim I just haven't ever had it done on any fatigue, twill or chino type pants

[SKT]

@GraemeE haha…mine was a standard hem all along. Never listen to me.

This is why we can't have nice things

Today I found out that OrSlow make a shirt out of the fatigue pant fabric! Anyone own one?

[sophisto000]

@AdamJ
I think there’s a sz 3 available in the Buy/Sell board.
Too lazy to link, as it’s not mine…

[AdamJ]

@sophisto000 I thought it was a bit too niche to search so didn't bother. Cheers!

@AdamJ I do! I mentioned it somewhere on here recently about how good it was, the orSlow fatigue shirt and a flat head dobby are the only two non IH shirts that have stayed in my wardrobe after discovering IH, I guess that’s testament enough to how much I love it. I ordered it from Meadow Sweden for around £120 and escaped any customs fees too, most UK sites seem to have them for over £200 which is a bit ridiculous. It’s a bargain for £120. Also Cameron O did a great YouTube vid on it

EDIT size wise I’m a XXL in most IH and tried the fatigue shirt in a 5, ended up selling it on and ordering a 4, which is perfect. Think it mentions some stuff about sizing in the Cameron O vid.

Second EDIT: I will be buying a back up of this shirt

[DeeDee85]

Just had a quick look on meadowweb, they are now £175.. £55 price rise in a year or so

@m4xime Please post any items for sale in the B&S thread. Thank you!

Thanks to my vintage clothing hoarding I've got more than enough vietnam era olive shirts but the black stone and indigo have been calling to me on the secondary market

[ZackB]

@GraemeE that indigo one is really dope.

[SKT]

Seconded

If it’s not IH denim, it’s usually Orlsow for me. So comfortable.

[GraemeE]

@Denimhead-0 do you get yours hemmed?

If so see above a few posts - do you have a preference on chainstitch vs standard?

[Denimhead 0]

@GraemeE I’ve never needed them, my inseam is perfect with most of the size 4’s
