      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.....

        Understandable, and again like I said, IH’s XHS is my favorite with the 21/23oz UHR a really close 2nd…

        Really hoping the upcoming Boss Cut (which I am predicting will replace the 634 as my favorite cut) is a success so we can see some heavier iterations.

            Sage Seesmore, the Indonesian brand?

            My only familiarity is following them on IG for 2 years, because their denim is gorgeous, and fades amazingly

                There stuff looks great, and I tried to order a pair about a year or so ago, but there was something about the ordering process that I didn't like… Or maybe that was Old Blue Co.... Idk

                  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.

                        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.

                        http://www.misterfreedom.com/campus-cardigan-natural.html

                        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

                          https://www.dehen1920.com/shop/classic-cardigan/dark-navy

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

                                      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!

                                            The IHSH-157 is a great shirt. It’s not the colour you wanted and it’s a wool/nylon blend but I can recommend the IHSH-163. It’s a brilliant cold weather layer and is great for holding in heat and wicking away moisture.
