Are these an IH wesco makeup? If so, what are the specs o

[Giles]

Nope, they are Flathead deerskin….But I could build almost the identical pair with Wesco....

@neph93:

Hiut's have an internal canvas waistband on their jeans. It doesn't retard waist stretch on them.

Why don't others also use the same thing? Apart from difference in fading, I don't see any difference the canvas waistband will make.

If everyone made their jeans the same way, that would be boring, lol!

But really though, if you buy your pants with a 32" waist (for example), and you don't want the waist to stretch past 32" you only need to wear a belt that is tightened to 32".

Because your Prince Albert hasn't fully healed yet

Stretch of the waistband is smart in my opinion. It stretches to your personal size so it gives a better fit to a greater range of body shapes and not just to the ones who are lucky enough to have the exact body measurements needed.

Which is precisely why denim (a twill weave) became so supremely popular for jeans….It stretches, moulds and drapes to the wearer's body shape....

[Mild7]

Absolutely.  Its why jeans are jeans.  And all I ever wear.

Maybe IH can make some 500 denier 5-pockets!

The problem is that I buy size 31 when my waist needs size 30. That said, I will try and see if a belt stops it from stretching.

That explains why we don't see enough jeans in canvas duck.

Have we run out of stupid questions?

Also, I see this error only on the forum main page. The inside pages are working fine. I tried it across Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Apparently not, no…

Anyone shorten/hem any IH denim shirts? If so were you pleased with the end result? Was it hard to find a tailor/seamstress to do this?

Have never altered any clothes except jeans inseam.

I'm having a shirt I picked up from the Outlet taken in at the sides at the mo. I'll let you know how that goes.

Mine is a work shirt and one of the issues is that any major work means bye-bye to the gusset. Another thing is replicating IH construction. My seamstress made it known that replicating the triple stitching and felled seams was going to be expensive. I'm going to eat the cost this time just for the sake of the experiment.

I know @hadtoo555 had some pretty major alterations done to some of his shirts.

Thanks for sharing @neph93 and yes please let me know how it turns out.
