There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

Ok, thanks Chris. Did you have any shrink?
-
Hey G, so I totally get that the 25oz tests the limits of what’s possible in terms of heavy weight denim. And I love the XHS, it’s by far my favorite and go to denim. But have there every been any talks of IH possibly trying anything heavier? I know Naked and famous does a 32oz and I heard Samurai does something like a 25oz UHR that when soaked shrinks to 27oz.
Just curious, still very happy with IHs denim offerings, but just wondering….
-
Haraki almost killed me when I asked for 25. We will not go heavier…
With all our other denims, we get a known percentage of 2nd and 3rd grade denim when we weave it (it's different for each type of denim, but it is known and it is constant). With the 25oz, the amount of 2nd and 3rd grade it totally unpredictable. We believe we are at the limit of what is sensible.....

Anyone have any experience with, or opinions of Sage denim Co.? Either with their denim or wallets?
-
Yeah bud, that’s the company I’m referring to.
-
Yeah, I hear ya. I’ve been doing some reading about them and it seems they’re size charts don’t match what people actually are receiving pre-Soak. I hear they run much smaller than what they state.. that’s enough for me to stay away. 40 dollar shipping from the other side of the world and not knowing what I’m gonna get? That’s a hard pass.

Does anyone else do a properly designed and constructed old school cardigan like this …?

The best looking one that I have seen is the Mister Freedom "Campus Cardigan", but it's significantly more expensive than the example you posted.

I own the natural one, and compared to all ofther cardigans and sweaters I've owned in my life (That I can recall), this one is a "tank". Very heavy, dense knitting, 100% wool, and it's WARM.
I can tell you that Ohio Knitting Mills is who made them for MF, so if you poke around the internets, maybe they have made something similar for another brand, with less of a mark-up.
(Here's the OKM website…)

Dehen 1920 are on par with Ohio Knitting Mills

I've owned both and think they are both well made. Dehen 1920 are heavy as heck

I just bought something from Uniqlo. Am I supposed to feel ashamed?

Guys and Gals need help, please!
Since I liked my last set of WAYWT pictures in IH clothes, I thought it might be fun to do it more often for day hikes. I checked all dealers within the EU, the ones I know, for a IHSH-127 V2 red/black in M, there seems to be none left. Any tips? @Giles are there maybe any left in jp…there would be no rush at all?
The IHSH-157 in Burgundy would be nice as well, which is still available in my size.
Alternatively I am looking for a shirt like the IHSH-127 red/black buffalo check, but in 100% wool. Is there somebody out there who makes a shirt like this? Didn't found anything. I only found plain black ones.
I would like to use just one for hiking, since with backpacks it will get worn pretty fast. Since I wear IH for work as well I do not want this happen to my IHSH-130 red/black, which I love.
Thanks in advance!

Depends. But if it’s these then no. It’s 2018 and no-one here is going to judge you. We all love you for who you are, @Chris , it’s OK.
