There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

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?
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.....

Just read back a few pages. What's the reasoning behind soaking stuff (superblack, maybe others?) before putting it in the washing machine? And what is it that makes the white lines on some stuff? The spin alone?

Pre soaking reduces the chances of streaking. Agressive spin can cause streaking. Also the agitators of Washers in the US cause streaking.

@wdw:

The white lines are caused by abrasion. Some fabrics are thick, stiff or both and they can crease sharply in the machine. The edge of the crease is exposed to abrasion giving white lines. Low spin lessens the effect while putting the clothes in wet prevents the sharp creases.

Thanks, @Matty123. I just picked up on the pre-soak thing last week, never having done it before, but will do it in future. I ruined a pair of CF 23oz blacks by getting streaks all over them a couple of years ago, but I wasn't struck on them anyway, so no loss, except to my wallet.

And thanks to you too, @neph93. The abrasion thing on heavy fabrics explains my 23oz fiasco.

Whoops, we recently changed the way we present the retailer listing and forgot to update the "iron Heart Stockists" thread. I have done that now, but here you are:

…I've got to get my hands of some of this O.G. wabash, someday. It's so different. Always wanted the chore coat, but I don't think very many were made...
I borrowed the above sentences from another thread here.
What does O.G. mean?

Original Gangsta
…actually I'm joking, I don't know what it means.
