@RobeOfTheMagi I found that doing a bit of research in to the leathers used, helps understand more. There's a load of info online as you'd expect but I found the Horween Website a good source of info for leather in general.
If there is a particular boot style you like, YouTube has plenty of people reviewing, discussing etc. Your mileage may vary with YouTube as some of it can be complete waffle.
Some brands you can check out to get an idea of styles, leather, boot builds etc: Wesco, White's, Viberg, Alden, Red Wing
Several of those brands have individual threads on the forum too which, as I'm sure you're finding out, is the number one source of info on the internet

Cheers Adam!
I'll dig deeper into "the number one source of info on the internet" :). And after some hours of research it's probably quite important to find a brick and mortar if you're a rookie like me in that field.

Ha @flannel-slut !
Night and day difference. 25 oz will be soft and supple within a few weeks, and eventually like the softest of denim lounge pants. Nothing like it.
UHR is crisp and hard and sharp and unforgiving in all the best ways. Like—forever. Stays rigid and is the most like a classic shrink to fit denim. Cardboard pants.

@Brian-bvdk they are very, very different. Both in colour, and handfeel. Clearly there are technical differences too
-
@Brian-bvdk as wildly different as two types of heavy cotton, indigo coloured fabric can be. As well as the technical differences, the hand and colour that Alex mention, they also fade very differently.

What's your take on soaking your jeans after about 100 wears? I don't have any problems with odour since I air my jeans regularly. However I'm a bit concerned about small particles of dust and sand eroding my trousers earlier than necessary. Do you think soaks will impact the fading in any significant way?

@RobeOfTheMagi if anyone is planning buying the item they’re releasing
-
@RobeOfTheMagi we don't do anything with them. But there is a calendar feature built into the forum and if you respond on these it will put something into your calendar on here.

I see. Neat feature :).

@bluemantra I have some grey Whitesville tees in XL, and they fit like an American L. Great shirts, super comfortable plus a nice texture to the heather.

Is there a night mode for the forum that shows white writing on a dark background?
-
@RobeOfTheMagi not on this version, to my knowledge
-
That would be such a great feature, I think.
