      Loom breakers was not really a mad idea (just indigo/indigo duck), until it broke a loom 🙂

            IH-555-01L I think is what I see printed on that patch. Those arcs are awesome. Any word on this pair? I saw it on an Instagram story and took a screenshot.

            Edit: found a page called Limbro Denim. Seems to be an exclusive special edition only sold in Indonesia. The jeans are featured on an Instagram post but not on the website from what I see.

              @Oaktavia you should try to write to Adi Putra my friend (he is the admin of Limbro) on their website there is a small part of what they have in store.

                  @Ross said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:

                  @SKT I believe this line over one side comes from how the pockets are sewn on with them starting on one corner, sewing right round the 'bucket' of the pocket, back up the other side, doing a 'u-turn' (which gives that line above the corner of the pocket) and then all the way back round again. So it won't be over both sides as they only need to make that turn around once.

                  Quite what determines what side that line is over is probably entirely random or at least dealers choice for the person sewing

                  @SKT See it being done here:

                        Anyone out there have a tie-dye kit they can recommend? Looking for something quality that won't run or mess up other clothes in the wash, etc. I've got all these white band t-shirts I never wear...

                          Not sure if this has been asked before - I'm wondering about the choice to use a zipper fly on cargo pants vs. buttons. I'm generally not a fan of zippers because they bunch weird and won't stay up. Would enjoy hearing about the design choices begin when to use a zipper or button on IH pants.

                                  @long_john86 I had the IHM-34 for a couple of years until i realised i got a size too big really and moved it on, i'd get another if i could.

                                  To answer your question, the 34 is far warmer than the 38, heavy whipcord outer and blanket lined inside, it's a real beast. The 38 is a good bit thinner on the outer and the inner lining isn't quite so insulating as the blanket on the 34. I'd think of the 38 as more of a spring/autumn coat where the 34 is very much a winter coat.
