Take a look here:

I have never seen a shop carrying them in Shibuya, but then I have never bothered looking…...

There is a place in Shibuya called OT+E that has some (very little) IH gear, the topmost one on this page: http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/ot-emens/shop/index.htm

Hinoya Plus Mart in Ueno (less than half an hour with the Yamanote line from Shibuya) had quite a bit of IH as well, probably the widest selection in the central Tokyo area. Only up to XL in tops though.

I strongly suggest that you take the time to visit The Works in Hachioji if you have the time for it.

Lando, are Giants (SF) tickets hard to come by?

I'm really liking the look of their khaki's. (With the exception of the dip in the back pockets.)

What is the correct unit for textile weight? 21 oz per what? Square feet?

Geo

a yard

but confusingly yards of material come in different widths . . . more commonly 36", 44-45" and 54"

Captain

hmmm, strange way to meassure things (you are an engineer as well, Geo, am I right?).

Thank you. I was comparing my work clothes (300 grams / m^2) to IH gear.

Giles

Geo, the standard that we and all of the Japanese companies that I know of, use oz per square yard, so width of bolt irrelevant….

Captain

Alas: 21 oz denim = 712 g/m^2

jimmy

It's either a yard squared or meter squared loom state regardless of width.

every day i learn something new - thanks G

so to get the weight a piece of raw cloth 1 yard square is weighed (and the same cloth sanforised is cut to 1 yard square and weighed in a similar manner)?

yup - an engineer . . . and i couldn't get my head around wtf a unit of mass was being used to measure density but i think Mr G has cleared that up for me

Yes, hence the 21/23 designation on the IH-634SR Annies.

Geo

ta-daaa!

suppose that would've been obvious . . . to most folks
