Can someone tell me what color thread is used for the stitching on the IHSH-162 also if you could tell me the brand of thread you guys use again? The cotton wrapped poly if I Rememener.  Thanks. I have a little repair to make on this shirt.

Found the link to Empress mills. Just need the color of thread please

@Alex:

Which colour 162?

The indigo 162. Sorry. It’s the whitish stitching I’m referring to. It seems a bit Silverish as well. Thanks alex

[Alex]

Do you mean the 62? The wabash western? The 162 is a black or olive CPO

[Matty123]

Mean the 62 wabash indigo. I did not make this easy for
You

Thanks Al. Have a good night bud. Apparently there is such a thing as a stupid question

[gaseousclay]

here's a daft question, for overdyed product is the fabric dyed first and then sewn, or is it sewn first and then given an overdye bath? I'm assuming it's the latter.

Made into a garment and then dunked.  That is why the hardware looks so beaten up….

Wasnt there something like an annual winter sale between Christmas and New Year or did that just happen in my imagination?

It’s happened once or twice that a load of gear has been placed on “Special” at this time, but Specials don’t happen anymore and it was never a permanent thing.

With the Outlet closed throughout December and re-opening early in January you can probably expect some good deals then.

Everything we do happens in your and our imagination.  When you (or we) can predict what we are going to do, we've failed….

That sounds so magical, love you guys.

Didn’t want to derail the exciting sneakers announcement on the samples thread, so I’ll ask here… Are 888XHS a distant pipe dream?

[Giles]

We may do at some point, but I have a load of stuff going on with new denims at the moment….

Where is this sneaker convo? I checked samples and planned products and didn’t see it…

Another question, what does the red "W" signify that's woven onto every pair of jeans? Is it shorthand for "the Works"?
