Just learned of a new (2012) cotton variety that is a US grown natural hybrid of Sea Island cotton called LUXSIC. This looks very much like it could be the cotton variety that IH uses for denim… Pure speculation on my part of course, however it's: Extra long staple, US grown, not Pima, not GM, owned by a Japanese company, and virtually unknown to commercial cotton companies.... All of these things would point to it as a possible match.

@4c your investigations into cotton are unmatched, and super enjoyable IMO

@Megatron1505:

33 degrees here tomorrow, so warm that I'm swapping out the 25oz for a 15oz….

I'm guessing that's unusually warm @Megatron1505

Just looked at  temp. averages-65F in July? That doesn't sound right.

Been pretty absent recently.  New office move, building new photo studio etc etc been keeping me busy.  Have a 3.8km swim for charity on Sunday and have done the square root of f-all training, that'll be interesting.  Tuesday off to Berlin for Selvedge Run, then back here for Fish 'n' Chips…..

Any link for the charity? Always happy to chip you a few pounds considering all the kind things you do for us. (And it may help get you to the other side! 3.8km is pretty solid. I'm stoked I've managed to get back up to 1.2km after being stuck @ 600m since March)

I think possibly the donation is the entrance fee…..
