i never handled vibergs & i'm not really crazy about the current collab. not sure why, but it hasn't knocked the wind out of me like Iron Heart items usually do.

i'll keep an eye out for the next collab which could possibly be a 8"SHORTSHIFT BOOT (#87) or a 6" BOBCAT (#36)

what, I can dream. oh & I know it's proabaly going to be a while with all the things in the works, but i can dream can't i

I too am hoping for a 8" shortshift boot sometime in the near future.

Is there a difference in material in chinos & cargo pants?
I want some pants in "cargo" material but w/o all the pockets.
Kinda similar to these http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5196/5892210869_a73c37201e.jpg

chinos are polycotton
cargos are cottoncotton

Giles

Well that is the case with the current IH offerings, but I think the question was more general. Was it lowk?

Giles

I'm on the scrounge. I need a Windows (pref 7) disk to install under VMWare on Paulas Mac. I have a million of the bloody things somewhere, just cant find them. Please PM me if you can help…..

Anyone here on Gilt who can do me a favour?..

Raul with the win. No longer necessary. Thanks!..

Any one have experience with Goruck? In terms of everyday use, how does the GR2 compare to the GR1? I'm not sure if I want to go for large or mid.

what characteristic(s) of a denim lead to pronounced vertical falling?

G, you said you expect this from the new 25oz denim
Ring Ring also said he expected this (or pronounced vertical striation maybe he said, maybe thats something different?) from the 14oz LHT of his self edge/FH collab
two quite different denims these are
and it's said of many other jeans as well, Flat Heads in particular

so I'm interested in which characteristics of a denim give this "feature"

Giles

Vertical falling (fading) is caused by slubs in the warp (indigo) yarn. With wear, the slubs suffer more abrasion than the flat of the yarn, so they will stand out like rain drops on surface. You can see vertical lines in raw denim, these will appear as vertical fade as the denim fades.

madmonday

Goruck is sturdy as hell & they stand with their product if you have any issues with it. I can't say which size to go with really depends on your needs.

Send me a pm & i might be able to do something for you
