a yard

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

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.

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….

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

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

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)?

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

ebay seller x-kaijin-x

nope all that stuff is Iron Heart powered.

i keep it Iron Heart as it's proven. . . tend to get disaponted when i buy other brands & their product is good but not up to the standards i have become used to 

oh & how is it decided what items come in 35 w.  some 35s in any new worker trousers would be a good thing

[Giles]

We did a small run of 634S in 35.  They sold slowly, so we stopped.  I did the TWHR01 in 35 and they sold reasonably well.

The issues with not doing it more regularly are:

No retailers will take them (indeed, I have a few retailers that only take even waist sizes, period)

Haraki wont sell them (as it back fired on him in Japan when he tried it with the 634S)

So I have to take all that are made, which means that I have to hold more stock etc etc etc
