There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

Does the overdyed 21 oz retain the same hand and softness as the regular 21oz? Thanks

Mnaaa… depends what you mean. The surface of the denim has a different feel to it after OD-ing. It's feel sort of dry, maybe a little less soft. But the suppleness of the fabric, how in folds and creases, that is the same.

[Matty123]

Thanks @neph93 that answers my question. The surface feel  of the fabric is one of the things I like most about the flagship.

[neph93]

It definitely changes the fabric some. It becomes something in it’s own right, if you feel me. I have the IH-526J-od and love it.

@Sam what jeans are u wearing in this photo? Thanks

[rocket]

777S-21 I guess

[Dion]

Looks like a well evolved IH-555-02 from the other pics.

[neph93]

^ Dion is right, I think. Sam does own a pair of IH-555-02. I believe they were his first IH jeans and they’re well worn. Pics on the appropriate thread.

I think you guys are right, hehe…

It’s surely unhealthy that we know these things and actually take the time to work it out amongst us [emoji23]

[Matty123]

How can it be unhealthy if you’re helping an amigo find an answer?? Thanks boys

Ok, so I was perusing the Pronto blog and came along this “Larry Smith” brand jewelry… anyone have any clue at all why they’re making,  and why Pronto is selling F***ing  Swastikas? Please correct me if I’m
Wrong. Are they not swastikas?

[neph93]

They are, but swastikas have a long, interesting and benign history before they were co-opted by assholes.

Thanks Reuben. I do understand that. But some shit you just can’t come back from…. I would think

[neph93]

It’s still used with it’s original meaning in large parts of the world so for a lot of people it only ever was a good thing. Context is for kings and all that.

Not at all. It’s a shocker wherever you see it for pretty much everyone from a Western society. I do think it’s worth trying to look past that given that it’s cultural significance before the 1930’s was massive and ancient.

[Matty123]

I’m curious about the origins of it. The stigma is strong but I am interested in the history. Thanks bro. Up with Eddie are ya??

It's found all over the world.  Lots of swastikas are used in Native American jewellery and it is used a lot in Japan.  Just because it was appropriated by a regime, does not mean it has to stop being used by peoples who have used it for millennia….
