    @pechelman The way I understand the technique is that a cutout of a specific size is made, weighed, and then it‘s calculated from there.

        I think it’s a square yard of the fabric.

          @Jett129 This is what I found online: https://stonemountainfabric.com/what-gsm-means-and-how-to-use-it/

          So that type of cutter is used:

            From the little I know through other hobbies from audio, knives, sharpening, fishing, etc, Japan has their own highly-intentional way of doing everything. I wouldnt be surprised if this was the case here also with measuring or calculating fabric weight and it might differ from what's standard in "the West".

              @tody That’s really cool. I have on occasion seen fabric weights given in grams,and just thought it was a metric system kind of thing.

                @Jett129 Here's a conversion table: https://www.ginifab.com/feeds/ozyd2_gm2/
                You just have to convert both units, oz to grams, and square yard to square meter.

                A lot easier than converting fuel consumption, where you go by miles per gallon, and we go by liters per 100km, so there is a totally different reference point.

                  @tody Once again,that’s really cool as well. I’ve just occasionally seen the fabric,for example,described as 280 gms. Pima cotton. And since I know that there’s 28 grams in an ounce…simple math. But now if I ever see grams and meters…Bingo,or as @Graham would say Bazinga!

                          Hey Forum peeps…we’re looking at having new windows put into our home and are in the process of getting quotes. We had one company come out for a quote and it seemed astronomical.
                          Wondering if anyone has gone through this process lately and have some experience with pricing etc.

                          We have 22 windows we’d like replaced. Dude quoted us $60k at retail. This guy is a family friend and said he could get us employee cost for half price. Sounded like a good deal in theory but $30k still seems astronomical.

                          Anyways. We plan to ge more quotes and research more. Just curious if anyone has some fresh, first hand experience.

                          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...

                              @slack0 21 oz denim. Probably c. 2006-7? Maybe earlier. Levi’s lawsuits about the red tab and arcs went down in 2007 I think.

                                @slack0 Still trying to get more info for you, but here’s a little to start.

                                I never really got to the bottom of FreeBee, other than I think it was an early version of Triple Works.  By that I mean, stuff that H wanted to make, but did not think it fitted in with the IH aesthetic…..

                                @sabergirl Thank you!

                                  Wow that’s quite a long time ago. When I got them they were basically new too

                                      Anyone have a recommendation for a good quality hard sunglasses/ glasses case? Something strong enough to put in luggage?

                                        Have you ever "ripped" off a non snaps shirt?

                                        I came close last night lol. Glad it was IH. A weaker stitch would've gave out. I can't be the only one.
