        It seems to me that TW Westerns seem to be consistently longer in the body and sleeve than IH Westerns. Am I dreaming? If not, is there a reason? (in XXXL at least)

          Nope - same with a size Medium. About 1 to 1.5" longer. Not a good thing for me personally, might be for others though…

            You know? You guys know more about sizing than me.  I am a peasant, I measure (well Paula does) and then publish, then I move on to the next thing…..Whilst you are complete and utter experts in your own size.....

            What I can tell you is that the measurements are all done to the same methodology by Paula, so whatever the measurements are is what they are......

              Just curious more than anything. Personally, I'd rather see the TW sizing carried into the IH line but I realise I may be a minority opinion there 🙂

                    Hey, it's not his fault you're stubby.

                    P.S.- I heard that alcohol stunts your growth.  Just thought I'd mention it.  No reason, really…

                        Does IH make all their products from locally sourced (i.e. made in Japan) materials (e.g. shirting fabric, rivets, zippers, thread, buttons, belt buckles, leather for tags, wallets and belts, etc etc.) ?  The question is not applicable to the denim fabric since that's made in Japan.

                            Thanks Zwer. I am aware of that FAQ page. However, my question was not about where they are made.

                              The answer is the same.

                                  What provides better waterproofing for leather: Mustang paste or Obenaufs?

                                      For most leathers the difference is probably negligible as seen in the link above.  You should use mustang paste on shell cordovan or other really tightly grained leathers.  Obenaufs will not penetrate shell cordovan.

                                      Don't let the price of mustang paste fool you.  Obenauf's is a good quality product.  Horse oil has very similar properties to human oils.  It has the highest permeability (very fine oil, this is what makes it great for leather protection) of all oils on human skin (probably besides human oils, unobtainable unless you have serious cash) making it a desired beauty product for girls and girly men (demand).

                                        I'm in Philadelphia for a couple days. Any suggestions on some quality stores?

                                            Cross the Delaware River and go to Gaetano's in Pennsauken.  Get the garlic bread cheesesteak.  It will change your world.
