@Nik has some experience overdying his jeans in the washing machine. From memory, he did a pair of 888S-21 with a grey dye.
P.S. I figured out how to find his posts about it. Do an advanced search, you can filter for "Nik" as the user, and search for "smoke grey" in posts.
@Northman said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:
For those who own both IH work pants and 888s, how noticeable is the difference in rise and overall comfort?
I'm not super experienced, but I usually size up one in a work pant compared to my 888 size. They're more akin to the 634, designed to sit more on your hips than your waist. You'll need that little bit of extra rise room to allow the work pants to slide up your legs when you bend or sit. Otherwise, you'll end up with a builder's bum because you won't have enough thigh-space for the trousers to slide up, so they'll slide down instead.
Hope that makes sense! TL;DR: I recommend sizing up once from your 888 size in a work pant.
@atm23 There's also 14oz in "Black/Black", so I guess that's the fading type.
Looks good on you @Oaktavia. I love the lavender blossoms especially. One thing that would scare the crap out of me about forehead tattoos though is, if I were to get a receding hairline, how it might look when it appears to be halfway down my forehead! But you've already had the dome done, so it'll fit naturally there.
@scarfmace There's some Black 1955's in the non-seasonal New Products section, one in 14oz and one in 21oz. I can never remember which version of Black is "SBG" though, there's one of each type of black, fade and non-fade.

@americanathreads said in Parenting:
If anyone has any good recommendations around birth/newborn phase that would be great.
In my experience, newborns do 3 things: Eat, sleep, and crap. Mum will take care of Eat. You can help with sleep and crap to help out Mum. Keep Mum happy and she'll keep baby happy and then you'll be happy.
Get out as much as possible in the first 4-6 months. Until around then, they're basically potatoes and are surprisingly easy to take places.
@Daniel-San Looks awesome. Congrats! Looking forward to the completed bodysuit when all done.
@goosehd As a longer-term saving goal, I would very much like a pair! Not immediately though, I'm moving house soon and after that we will have a lot of things to do to the property to make it how we'll want it. Other than some money earmarked for a pair of 1955s in the 18oz denim, if I'm quick enough, I'm trying to be frugal right now.
Anyone come across Mosevic glasses/sunglasses before?
They are certainly pricey, but made from denim scraps fused together in resin, thought they would appeal to those 'round these parts (they appeal to me!) who had not heard of them.
Did a search for Mosevic here on the forum and got nothing, which was a little surprising given the materials used.
Looks like y'all had a great time. I'm loving looking at all the pictures. Well done @Matt.
@Ral1121 said in IH-1955S-142od - 14oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Jeans - Indigo Overdyed Black:
Just got my pair in today and the fit is spot on.
Fit pics or it didn't happen. 
@natefreezy Absolutely I do, in Navy, Khaki and the Green.
@Steve for that sort of thing, I prefer in shorts too.
Apparently you won't have to continually mash X to sprint anymore. Suddenly I'm a lot more interested in GTA6.

Andy Burnham is visiting a school and sitting in on an English lesson. The pupils are learning about tragedy.
"Who here can give me an example of a tragedy then" says Andy, feeling cheery.
One hand goes up, and the boy proffers "If my father was driving his tractor and ran over our dog, that would be a tragedy".
"Not so" says Andy. "That would be an accident, for sure, but not a tragedy."
A second hand goes up, and a girl volunteers "If a bus carrying fifty children went careering off a cliff and they all died, that would be a tragedy".
"No" says Andy, inwardly resolving to reassess the English curriculum. "That would be a great loss, but not a tragedy."
No hands go up this time, until finally, Little Jimmy pipes up "If you were in your plane with your deputy, Prime Minister, and our own military shoots you with a missile and blows you to tiny bits, that would be a tragedy."
"YES!" says Andy, delighted that one pupil appears to have learned something. "And can you tell me why?"
"Well" says Little Jimmy, "It wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident either!"
So what you're saying is, I've got 3 years to convince @Alex to bring back the IHPS. Challenge accepted.
Just kidding, I know when to stop flogging a dead horse. Congrats to Alex and Haraki-san. It's good to see the company pass to safe and trusted hands - not enough of that about these days.
@Tago-Mago Quite probably. My brain melts slightly with timezones.
@Tago-Mago no, GVT is currently equivalent to BST, because of daylight savings. If you turn up at 1800 GMT, you’ll be an hour early.
