      Is it, or does it just feel it?

        fair point - feels noticeably thicker/heavier - both great shirts anyway!

          If a fabric is very tightly woven or if it has a load of sizing agent (often starch) left in the fabric, it will feel heavier than a loose weave or one with no sizing agent left in it…

            I think it's also easy to be fooled as the layman only has the garment in his or her hand or body, not the square yard of cloth on a scale. So a 10oz chambray, which as you say is thin and tightly woven, will feel lighter than a 10oz denim that is coarser and thicker.

                It's weird how an item can play tricks on you.  I have two pairs of jeans that are the same size and the same weight denim, different manufacturers.  I was absolutely positive one pair was much heavier than the other, until I weighed them.  Exactly the same weight, down to the tenth of a pound.

                    The same. Works for me.

                      Me too, but I can’t roll up iron heart sleeves. My forearms are too big. I stretch the shirt out too
                      Much. But I’m a fan of the look

                      Maybe so. Maybe not

                                I just received my first pair of 666’s (IH-666S-18) and noticed that the patch is sewn on all four sides.  None of my other jeans (634’s, 888’s) are like this.

                                Is this exclusive to this version of the 666 (666S) and is there a reason for it?

                                  Will the new slimmer hemmed whipcord pants be made in the same olive as the original or the new lighter shade like the new N-1s?
                                  And are they coming before the A/W run?

                                    The 634S-18 is the same. So particular to the denim perhaps? The 14oz and 17N use their own patch variant too.

                                      We decided to go for chino matieral rather than Whipcord, and they are the samples I posted last week

                                        14oz and 18oz vintage have this…14oz because it's too light for the heavy patch, 18oz vintage because, well we wanted it to look vintage.....

                                          Why aren't extinct products brought back from the dead and with the same model number? And why don't shirts have rivets?

                                            Extinct products come from endangered ones. Typically there is a good reason they begin life endangered and not extant
