A bit of a photo dump. I’m on a work team outing on the north shore of Lake Superior for a couple days. I think I stood for 45 minutes staring silently at the lake.

@Boit maybe IH wouldn’t make it, but your idea made me think of @Steve Saturday Type Fever line. His single pocket shirts could easily be dressed up or down. Denim, corduroy, cotton twill all in lighter fabrics with tonal stitching. The straight hem doesn’t skew formal, but they could scratch the itch.

@GraemeE I waited 4-6 months for the Heather Grey to deliver. It felt so different and “special” as a clothing purchase.

I’ll have a look at the Redwood.

@GraemeE yes they are great. I got 2 when the article first came out I needed to see what “best hoodie ever made” was. This was long before I knew anything about quality denim.

I had the Heather grey and this black and they both lasted 10+ years.

The grey I had to toss a couple years back from holes in the arm and cuffs shredded. But this one is still going strong and it aged beautifully.

I’ve actually bought a few as gifts for people over the years and they are loved.

@Giles looks like an ocean worthy Daredevil

@SKT faded jeans and grey NB’s is an excellent pairing.

@GoodtimeJohnny

so sorry to hear it. Losing a pet is hard to deal with. You miss the tapping of the feet on the floor or having them jump up on the couch or greet you at the door. There’s constant reminders.

Wishing you healing my IH friend

@Giles missed opportunity for the “fool me twice Loombreakers 2”

@phoenixinflight for each person it’s a bit different. The double indigo duck started in 2015 as Selvedge and was woven so tightly that it broke the shuttle loom. So they stopped making the fabric and made around 70 pairs of jeans called the Loombreakers.

Then they ran the rest of the fabric on a non-selvedge loom and made jeans out of them, and at the time they didn’t sell well.

As time passed and the Loombreakers came up for sale from people who bought and sat on a pair or moved on from their used pair, the conversation often came up about re-running the fabric.any of us have a hunch it will be more popular now as a different option from the core denims.

Also, I’m just using the jeans as an example. They also made 1 or 2 jackets with the fabric.

The double indigo duck fades different than denim and takes on a wonderful electric blue fade really quickly in high wear areas. The 16oz they originally ran wears heavier that the number indicates. It’s a crispy tough fabric that’s a joy to break in.
