How do you like those 666N?

[jdl1279]

They're nice and comfy, straight away. Well built like everything else around here, not flimsy, just a lighter denim.

[Giles]

Apart from the 16oz we use on the IH-817, I think this is the toughest denim we do…..

[costanza]

That's really interesting, Giles. I always wondered whether toughness can ironically be in inverse proportion to weight (above a certain point). For instance, is 25oz inherently more prone to premature blow-out or do other variables come into play?… is there an optimum weight for structural integrity and longevity or are the specific qualities of the denim and weave more important factors?

Hope that makes some sense!

[Giles]

It's a combination of staple length, yarn tension, weave tension etc etc etc.  This Organic cotton that we make the 666 and 634N just seems to be super tough, it is also spun and woven pretty tightly, though not as tightly as the IH 16oz.

I don't know for sure but I suspect a slubby denim is inherently weaker than a smooth denim and a projectile loom denim is stronger than a shuttle loom denim (all other things being equal)…

[costanza]

Thanks Giles, though I'm definitely in need of more research - some of that (projectile looms, staple length) sounded like Gnosticism to me! I'm going to look into it further. Fascinating. Ta!

Did you mean the other way around G? ???

No

Thanks Mega..

Sweet jacket Friday!

[Friday]

Thanks. I highly recommend getting IHxAL Collabo for those looking for a leather jacket. Its absolutely stunning and not as heavy as one imagine.
