    @browniemcghee:

    I have fairly muscular arms, and feel that the sleeves still look silly loose.

    Yep. Most important thing for me when it comes to a s/s shirt. But I bet it'll be perfect after said intended tweaking…  🙂

      @Max:

      Great shirt! What can ou tell us about the fabric - doesn't look like 10 oz, rather like the TW chambray?

      As I said, it is a deadstock selvedge chambray that H found.  It is def not 10oz, perhaps about 6 or 7oz

            And in "Any other news", I was blown away yesterday.

            H showed me a new denim he is working on with (perhaps) his favourite house mill.  This utilises a weft made from the same pulp as paper money.  The weft is amazingly strong and very thin, this results in a very dark face and a denim that is really thin for it's weight…..

            Look at the colour of the face, virtually no weft showing...

            And the thinness of the weft:

            Compared with comparative cotton weft…(OK, crap focus, but you get the idea)

            Edit.  We know of no one else doing this in Japan

                Fantastic stuff G.  It's innovations like these with the denim that keeps IH so fresh.

                      We'll use the warp from the 18oz and the new weft.  So we reckon it'll weigh in at not too different from 18, but feel more like 15 - 16

                        That sounds fantastic.  That 15-19 oz range is, for me at least, the perfect weight for denim.  And the darker, the better.

                          Sounds interesting! This in the 633 cut would be a certain purchase for me. Other cuts: maybe as well.

                            Well, we probably shouldn't get ahead of ourselves; it's a long road between test batches of fabric and full production. 😉  That said, I believe the 633 is a Self Edge exclusive model, so I'd rather see this in a more broadly available fit, like the 634 or the 666.

                                      Can we please turn our attention back to the S/S chambray?  There is a 100% chance that I am getting this shirt.  That is a year-round shirt for me now.
