      It is, it took a big hit in a recent typhoon.  But the 2 boats were undamaged.  Covid hit us hard.  We basically had full bookings for 2020, and those all but disappeared.  But yep, it is still there  🙂

        Hiya Giles

        Any idea where to source a pair of raptor malt soles (just the soles) in the UK?

            Ah, no worries. That at least reassures me that I’m not missing something blindingly obvious as I can’t find anywhere.

            Thanks, hope you’re well.

                Ha! I love that you looked.

                Here’s another one for you: How big are your calves at the biggest bit?

                I have the willowiest girls’ ankles, but reasonable carfage. I’ve read you mention a few times that yours are mighty and I’m curious as to just how much I am lacking in all areas below the knee. It’ll also help me understand the fit of your jeans a bit, but I’m mainly motivated by curiosity at this point.

                FWIW I have zero interest in any other of your measurements.

                  Sorry for the delay, not something I carry around in my head, in fact, I am sure this is the first time I ever measured them.

                  44cm…

                    14 or 21, def not 19.

                    I forgot that SelfEdge has a 22oz with pockets.  How does this compare weave-wise to the 14, 19, and 21?

                        …hey Giles!  Is the orange bag for something specific or just a friendly little gift? 🙂

                            When you guys make a new denim. Do you pre distress it. So you can see how it will fade?

                              No.

                              I try and wear it, but that only usually gives me 6 months of wear before we release it.

                              That is why, when people ask how a new denim will fade, the answer is often "tell you in a few months"

                                  So do dyeing methods give you a slight idea?

                                      for those of us who work in an office that has "casual Friday", or now with the pandemic "casual everyday", a nice pair of jeans kept clean is much easier than wearing the same ones we were at the ranch with or in the yard with.

                                      This is why I’m such a big proponent of the Superblack non-fade denim. Especially the 9666Z’s which have a black patch and black W. I can get away with wearing them at work.

                                          I was watching a product review by James Dant and he referred to the iconic red stitching as an “E”. I’ve always thought of it as a rotated “W” has homage to Triple Works. What’s the history and meaning of this logo?

                                            It’s a W that stands for Works Inc, the iron heart parent company. Or it can be an M for Motorcycle if you like..
