      So for the flannels with the selvedge detail, I have to ask... Was the flannel fabric made from a shuttle loom?

            Hi, how do you decide on the size of the pockets on ih jeans?
            I only have one pair (so far! Waiting for the non fade black to arrive), 634 ib
            Pockets seem much smaller than my other jeans (Hiut jeans ), both in the depth of the front pockets and the size of the back pockets.
            Thanks

              Basically what Haraki thinks is the most suitable/functional/visually attractive. May not be what everyone likes , but he’s designed well over 5,000 jeans in his career, and what we seel is the culmination of those decades of experience.

                @Cymro it is something of a game to guess at Haraki-san’s design choices. It has been suggested (probably by me), that the small front pockets are due to the fact that bikers don’t keep shit in them. When you’re sat on a bike a lot, it gets in the way and would be uncomfortable.

                This is also the popular rationale for the widely spaced and lined back pockets. Bikers do keep shit there, so they’re strengthened and moved to where you won’t sit directly on your stuff when straddling a saddle.

                On a personal note, stuff in front pockets does tend to spoil the aesthetics of the top block. This will be a concern for some, while others won’t care.

                Edit:

                I’ll add that the first Hiut cuts were fairly relaxed jeans with a lot of associated work wear marketing. The aesthetics were very «do mucky, handy stuff in your jeans». I had a pair and the pockets were deep and large as you say. I suspect the design choices there was «keep all your stuff in your pockets». In fact I recall it being a point that you could get your iPhone into the front pockets easily. So horses for courses…?

                  @Giles @neph93 thanks, all makes sense when I think about it!

                    @neph93 I'm mildly surprised this hasn't spawned numerous "Is that an iphone in your pocket" responses

                            @Tago-Mago never ever would I ever. Bloody hate phone fades. Also, everyone knows I am just pleased to see them. Filthy slut that I am.

                              @neph93 @Tago-Mago the iPhone fade on my broken twills is getting to pronounced it's beginning to look sprayed on

                                @AdamJ if you get time I’d love to see yours. I’m thinking I’ll put my 822’s away in a couple weeks and start in on my BT’s for the warm months ahead. Really looking forward to wearing them

                                  @SKT I'll bring them in tomorrow for pics! They're coming along quite nicely, I wash them quite regularly so haven't got the high contrast comb vibes as such. They have worn in very nicely, comfy as hell

                                      I have a voucher that will expire soon but what I really want is a black pullover hoodie in M or a pair of duck camo cargos in 34. Since neither is available what should I use my voucher on?

                                            I have a work shirt that I, well... Maybe I worked a bit too hard in and the pits truly stink. And every time I wash the shirt the stink either remains or comes back pretty quick; a regular wash with detergent, no spin and hang drying isn't cutting it. Anyhow, any suggestions? Maybe soak it in distilled vinegar before washing? Target the pits with baking soda?
