Is there a difference in material in chinos & cargo pants?
I want some pants in "cargo" material but w/o all the pockets.
Kinda similar to these http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5196/5892210869_a73c37201e.jpg

chinos are polycotton
cargos are cottoncotton

Well that is the case with the current IH offerings, but I think the question was more general.  Was it lowk?

Any one have experience with Goruck? In terms of everyday use, how does the GR2 compare to the GR1? I'm not sure if I want to go for large or mid.

what characteristic(s) of a denim lead to pronounced vertical falling?

G, you said you expect this from the new 25oz denim
Ring Ring also said he expected this (or pronounced vertical striation maybe he said, maybe thats something different?) from the 14oz LHT of his self edge/FH collab
two quite different denims these are
and it's said of many other jeans as well, Flat Heads in particular

so I'm interested in which characteristics of a denim give this "feature"

[Giles]

Vertical falling (fading)  is caused by slubs in the warp (indigo) yarn.  With wear, the slubs suffer more abrasion than the flat of the  yarn, so they will stand out like rain drops on surface. You can see vertical lines in raw denim, these will appear as vertical fade as the denim fades.

Goruck is sturdy as hell & they stand with their product if you have any issues with it.  I can't say which size to go with really depends on your needs.

Send me a pm & i might be able to do something for you

I would not size down, this denim will stretch very little imo.

Yeah but deactivating his account? Maybe BlackHeart could shed some light…

[hectic]
