[griffin]

Thanks for the kind words!  The shirt is a J.Crew chambray.

@Giles:

OK. so whether what I was wanting to do will happen or not depends on the following.

I want to make the jacket out of raw 18oz.  Some to be overdyed.  This is the issue:

Haraki san will talk to factory. Stiffness-wise, 18 oz denim is most stiff fabric in IH series. Obviously the factory will have hard time sewing them and there is high possibility that they say no to us….
He will get back to you soon.

Hi Giles:

please reply only if you have time, I don't want to be a drag on your activities.

How does a 18 oz fabric be more stiff than 21 oz?
In other words, what makes a fabric stiff?
Is there a measure of stiffness like there is one for weight (18 oz, 21 oz, 23 oz…)?

Thank you

[Giles]

The individual threads of both weft and the warp yarns are spun tighter when spinning the yarns and the tension in the weaving process is greater.

No measure that i know of….

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The guy who ordered the last XL got the size wrong.

There is an XL back in the store….....................

Sold

[Giles]

Customer who is same size as me asked me if I could get away with an XXL in this.  I reckon so, this is over a Tee and a flannel:

Looks like a good fit to me. 
I would think that at 6'2 an XXL would be a good fit.  I'm 5'11 and I've had an XXL SB type III and the OD here in XL like the fit of both jackets.

[griffin]

Looks good to me too.

Giles, what jeans are those?  I really like the fit.

[Beatle]

that would be a pair of 666 indigos

[Giles]

The girl be right…..

[Fincarelli]

Yeah G, those Devil's look like they were made for you.  And with that pic I'm also reconsidering my assumption that IH jackets would be too short for me (@6'4").  Looks like you have an inch or more to spare there in length.

[griffin]

Thanks!  I may just need to make another purchase.

[Giles]

By accident, I had the ISO cranked up to about 12800 on thse pics (I wondered why they were so crap).  Need better quality pics?

It turned from "endangered" to "extant", correct?

[Giles]

George,

Good spot.  It did, because I thought I was going to have to apply the "Phoenix Principal" to it.  That is raise it from the dead.

But, I had a discussion with Haraki this moring and I have a much better plan.

Details to be released any day soon.

I'm interested, I love mine.  I think it might be the coolest type III in existence.
