      @Giles Apart from this book called Weaving: Conversion of yarn to fabric, which other books would you suggest to someone who wants to understand all that goes behind a pair of jeans?

      Amazon Link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0900541784?tag=vig-21

      Thanks,

          Why is it that when I receive a new pair of jeans in a denim that I haven't owned before, they become my favourite?  Then three weeks later, I rotate to one of my other pairs that I have had for a while and I think, "Why haven't I been wearing these, these are fantastic?"

          Do I have the addiction yet?  🙂

              It's heading in that direction  😃 What pair are you on now?

                  It's funny you brought up buying an extra pair.  I bought a pair of Beatle Busters because they were going extinct.  I had my first pair for only a couple of months.

                  I know there are at least 6 or 7 pair in the closet, it really depends if it's my wife asking or someone else.

                  I can't sneak the blue bag in the house anymore.  She is on me like a hawk as soon as she hears the plastic being ripped open.  😉

                    UHR…and buying the contest denim-move along, nothing to see here.  😛
                    do you mean 6 or 7 pair of BB's??  The man knows what he likes.

                    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                    Well, I have others.

                      @steelworker I just got my hands on a pair of lightly used  UHR (I got into the IH game after they were pretty much extinct) and I have to say they are fast becoming my favorite IH denim and definitely worthy of a "closet second pair".

                        When I type @Giles or any other name in Tapatalk, it doesn't tag that person. However, the same message tags the person when I do it from the forum. Why?

                        Or am I doing it wrong in Tapatalk?

                                @Giles Has the suggestion of a drawstring bag (either free or at a nominal price) been made earlier?

                                Since I don't feel good about tagging you each time I have a question, is there a common group or handle I can use which will notify a set of people (like the Mods) to answer the question?

                                Slack (a popular office collaboration tool) also has this option where you can tag people in a particular group using @all, @channel, et cetera?

                                For example, something like @Mods - Is this a good question?

                                  We used to do a drawstring bag, Rocket has one, but I lost interest in them because even at the lowest price I could do, they weren't really a nominal price…..
