      Maybe something like this (from the web):
      In China and Japan the christening and launching of the ship are also the birth of the ship. This is represented by a taut line between ship and shore, which is torn when launched. Symbolically, this is intended to represent the umbilical cord and thus the birth of the ship. If this connection is broken, a paper ball bursts, from which garlands and balloons rise.

              Do some UHFs fade more dramatically than others? I ask because I think I read somewhere on here that the Cookie Monster/IHSH-20 fades "fast" compared to other models?

                I think its color is just so electric that the fading is more noticeable. I haven’t noticed the 20 fading any more quickly than my other uhfs, personally. But I’m not terribly observant

                  @sabergirl That makes sense, I'm over thinking again anyway. I was reading through the IHSH-20 thread and saw your posts. Grey one is killer! On my wishful radar. Trifecta l would be a dream.

                    I actually finally got the red right around the holidays from Clint D! I don’t think I ever actually posted in the thread 😂 Such a failure

                              I hope people don't get sick of my sizing questions. I bought my first IH shirt less than a month ago and I am eyeing up my second one. I would like to get a 5.5oz Selvedge Chambray Short Sleeved Work Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black. Most of my shirts are medium, which held true for my first IH shirt. My measurements are p2p of 21.5 and waist of 20.5. My issue is the medium shows measurements of p2p = 20.9 and waist of 20.4 while the large shows p2p = 21.5 and waist of 21. The waist is almost perfect for the medium and the P2P is perfect for the large. Any idea which I should go with?

                                @JasonT The best thing to do when making a purchase is to put a note in the comments about your concern and the guys at the shop will try to accommodate your request.

                                You could also email them in advance and ask for assistance regarding sizing issues and questions. Email: shop@ironheart.co.uk

                                  @JasonT I completely agree with @goosehd. Size variation might mean there’s a shirt with perfect measurements for you.

                                  My only other thought is that you might end up not wearing the shirt much if it’s constricted around the chest, but you will probably be able to live with a bit of extra room at the waist.

                                    Thank you @goosehd and @ARNC. I will reach out by email and ask the IH folks before I order.

                                      So I’m just starting my first pair of SBG 666 21oz. I was doing a side by side weight comparison vs. my 21oz 888 od. By hand, the od feel a noticiable amount heavier. Don’t have a scale. I suspect the OD makes them a bit heavier, perhaps the slightly fuller cut of the 888 adds to the mass. Thought I’d see what the great minds had to say on the matter.

                                      In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                        @Mizmazzle Just weigh yourself wearing one pair then switch to the other,with everything else staying constant.

                                          @Jett129 got my hands on a scale. 21oz OD weighing in at 2lb 4oz while the 21oz SBG coming in at 2lb 2oz.

                                          So 2 ounce weight difference. I found it interesting the OD felt noticeably heartier. Love the velvety weight of the OD. Course the SBG is still new. Hasn’t picked up any dirt and oil yet. Could change the hand feel in time.
