Only if they're in Data Centers!

I was reading on the PROXIH09 thread about the fade prevention chemical on the 21oz denim. What exactly is it and the process behind it? Just wondering

[Giles]

Secret.  Seriously, I do know, but is something that Haraki developed, that no one else does and he wants it to remain that way…

Which is awesome.  Magicians never reveal their best tricks.

That is pretty cool. I'm guessing that's why the 21oz fades so beautifully?

Why can't I scroll the screen from the side bar on the forum? Every other website is ok apart from this one.

What is the heaviest flannel that Haraki has created? Is it the IHSH - 11?

[bagley920]

I've had both and the 11 and the 51 are pretty close to me

[madmonday]

i always thought the 20 was the heaviest & tightest weaved of the heavies (not counting shirt/jackect combos).

interesting to get all of your takes on it.

[zhivago]

It's the 20

[Giles]

The 11, the 20,  32, the 51/52/54 - all pretty similar

[Arabit]

Turns out we were all right. Thanks G

[jacoavlu]

I would respectfully disagree, and would not put the 52 and 54 in the ultra heavy category with the others, just my opinion
(that said the 52 gets worn more than the others)

[Giles]

The material for the 52 and 54 is woven the exact same way and with the same weight and construction weft warp threads as the 51….

[jacoavlu]

I didn't comment on the 51 because its the one I don't own

[Giles]

And Haraki says the 51 was is the same construction as the 32

[jacoavlu]

well not sure what to say, they don't feel as heavy as the older ones, just my meager and unscientific opinion, but I stand by it

[madmonday]

have worn all & i have to say the 20s are the mark that i measure all my other heavies against for a very special reason . . . . they fell the heaviest to me.

then again it's all subject to opinion & me being romantic about it.  i also tend to like hearing others thoughts so although i don't think all are "right" it's all good

** i have to go through those older threads alot of golden moments in them

[Giles]

I think the 20 feels so heavy because it had a tendency to shrink more than the others and thus the heft increased….
