16.5oz Raw Indigo/Indigo Duck

Start to roll…..

Cool, thanks! Maybe by the time the 816 hits my 666Ds will be ready for retirement.

I'm guessing about 6 weeks….....

And I have spoken to H.  Because of the unique circumstances we have here, we are going to modify our normal minimum run criteria.

We will do approx 50 pairs each of the Loom Breakers in IH-666DD AND IH-634DD.

Not sure about cost/price yet, but we will be selling these to pre-order.

Stay tuned…

^^Selvedge vs non selvedge, whatever the outcome is, they look great.

Ooh, if there's going to be a 634 loombreaker, I might have to change my mind about waiting to see what self edge collabs might be…

I understand the weave is different on duck vs whatever, but how does it affect the fabric and fading tendencies?

G, count me in for a pair of the 634DD's

All things being equal, (dyeing process, yarn size & composition, etc.) I don't think duck would fade any differently than denim.  After all, they're just another form of cotton pants dyed with indigo.  Being a basket weave rather than a twill weave, they shouldn't stretch, which is a major difference.  I also think duck doesn't feel quite as soft as denim, but that could totally be a subjective difference, not one with any basis in reality.

So the Loom Breaker addition will or will not be selfedge?

So far it has only broken the shuttle loom, but I guess that remains to be seen. Maybe this fabric will also break the projectile loom.

The whole point is that the limited run is the selvedge duck that broke the loom.  I have enough for about 100 pairs.

No leg twist either.

I hope you are winding me up.  Because previously, I took you for being pretty bright…..
