Random questions to which you seek an answer

GHBK16, great question. To get the most use and stand up to abuse I agree with Dr Pat Superblack anything. For various climates I say the 13 and will give my reasoning. The 13 is priced abit less than many items but can be worn with many fits in various ways and look none the worse for wear. I have never had issue with having to reinforce my snaps but on my workshirts of various materials getting the buttons to stay put is always an issue. After answering just thought if you meant for a cold or hot climate and top, bottom or outerwear.

Should I?.. 150 $, new. Imagine them with the Devil Ducks…

Restock on 811?

[J-IV]

Seul; The green isn't too bright, so I say go for it.

[Giles]

Ih-811 restock in 3-4 weeks…..

Hey Giles, you said the 634SR and the 666S have poly constructional thread in the yoke and hips; I know where the yoke is, are the hips the side seams from the waistband to below the pockets?

Trying to educate myself on construction and correct terminology…

So Julius Von Felden was right after all. A pity about that rod up his arse.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. As for climate, I'm in Brooklyn so a little bit of everything as you know.  Looks like I'll have to give the 13 a try…and maybe some Superblack bottoms.

Cool.  So, follow up question- why use poly on only those places, rather than cotton like the rest of the seams?

not quite, jvf was complaining about stitching at the waistband, which is different than the yoke

Those are areas of greatest strain, thus H likes to use the strongest thread he can….In his words (and remember this applies to only the 666S and the 634SR:

Basically, we use cotton. But the parts will be exerted, like hip and yoke, we use polycotton.

Saw artist denim collab jeans

My friend ask, is that IH's fabric?

[Giles]

I think it is.  Haraki and I do not know how Gun got the fabric, we are trying to find out.  I have emailed Gun, Haraki is working things his end…

[jacoavlu]

:o

[Giles]

Me and Haraki too….

[Guest]

I'm thinking that this has to involve a breach of contract at some end of the chain, but I'm not a lawyer.

Aren't some of Haraki-san's denim specs proprietary, and restricted only to IH?  This is like stealing Coca-Cola's syrup and reselling it under your own brand IMO!

[Giles]

Exactly…..

[Chris]

Is the broken twill material for the pocket bags also an IH fabric?  Because that looks interesting…
