I realized recently I don't like cell phone fades after keeping my phone in my front pocket for 1-2 months. Am I stuck with a cell phone fade or will it blend with continued wear and washes?

[pechelman]

Just keep wearing them and it'll fade. That will eventually disappear imo given how little that's showing

[Matt]

I can’t really see it.

Do the mods keep score of who gets in first with a request to add measurements to new sales threads? Track PBs? If yes, who’s winning?

[goosehd]

@ARNC For me, no I don’t keep track as all I worry about is if my eye will quit twitching and that I’m not developing a problem with alcohol…

No, but we sort of don't need to, we'll know it will happen, and from generally which direction....When we are feeling in a good mood we put it down to over-exuberance and excitement.......

[ARNC]

@Giles it’s not that such things happen - I was thinking more that for things that keep coming up the mods might have some fun with it. Competitive modding if you like!

@ARNC You haven’t considered that I have made voodoo dolls of some of you…have you noticed some unexplained aches and pains.

Here I thought I was just getting old, and it turns out @goosehd has been sticking it to me all along...

[Matt]

That’s not the voodoo doll.

Why there are no hand warmer pockets in leather shirt lineup?

[Alex]

@Karol I guess because they were designed to be Western Shirts

[Karol]

@Alex Thanks!! OK, it finally makes sense. I don’t know why but I always thought about them as the CPO type (as it is more of an overshirt).
I just love how successfully you guys added the handwarmer pockets to most of the CPOs

[Matt]

It is. Just a clerical error I’m sure.

@Mister_Brue Good spot! I am working on the new Hall of Fades as we speak. It will be maintained/regularly updated better than the current version.

Have sorted the above, thanks.

Anybody able to explain the difference between original 14oz and the 142 denim? I know the weft is double-twisted, but wondering how this affects the end product. Based on IG posts it seems that the Japanese market stuck with the original 14oz, curious why that might be.

[Giles]

They did not stick with the original, they decided to stay with the original nomenclature, even though the denim changed. Alex and I decided to append the 2, so it was a distinct product variant. The double twist gives heft but not weight and makes the denim softer...

888s vs. 1955s

The 888s has more taper from the knee down, but how do these cuts compare in the top block? I've heard the 1955s has a slightly higher rise, but am interested in understanding any other differences. Thanks, John

@JohnM the 1955 and the 888 are very similar, the 1955's are slightly higher in the rise and wider in the leg.
