@Oaktavia:

What are your (anyone) thoughts on raw cut hems/cuffs?

I cut my 666XHS an inch too short when I was going to hem it, so just left it raw. I serged the end with a dark navy thread (even though I'm sure it was unnecessary). I actually love it that way now. Raw hems look rad in my opinion if you don't intend to turn up your cuffs.

I also love raw hems on tshirt sleeves if they're the thin kind that will roll up after a wash and dry. I have tons of Imogene + willie tees that I've pretty much done this to every single one.

Word that sounds pretty cool @chrisjohnnick

Oooh nice. I think I might try that with a pair of XHS myself. Hmmmm.

Mango season is hitting early this year and I’ve decided to give it a shot at making something with them. Don’t know ANYTHING about making fruit preserves…I’d appreciate any links to recipes/youtube videos which you find useful, or any home recipes you may have. Preferably without adding sugar to the mix. I’m generally a low-sugar dude.l These are sweet enough as they drop off the tree.

Today’s pickings. They are really coming down.

I make a lot of mango chutney, but it does require sugar….

Why is the $5 UK note smaller than the $10 and $20….

Makes it more fun to use

are the pockets in modified jackets and vests cut differently for a jacket vs vest or based on the weight of the denim?

Noticing that the 14oz jacket pockets and internal pockets and smaller and taller whereas the 21oz vest pockets are lower and longer, if that makes any sense.

Fits more easily in a garter bet.

So if we have our eyes closed, it's dark or we are blind, we can tell which note we have in our hand. There's also the brailley bit, but size is easier…...

The simple answer is yes, the more convoluted is that Tom does the patterning for the heavy stuff, but not the lighter stuff….

Now that's cool…I didn't notice the size difference between the $10 and the $20.

Thanks @Matt . This is the real reason.

Thanks, Giles. Appreciate the insight!

@Matt Did you gain that bit of knowledge dancing at the anniversary party?  Did you promise Katie that you would stop dancing so you could get the vest?
