@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.

Did you try Selvedge again with the duck @Alex ?

I had a few loose buttons and hadn’t been wearing it. My wife got on the repairs and we’re back in business.

Double indigo duck looks like a “cartoon fabric” when it’s new. Folks have been asking for this for years I’m stoked to see what will be released.

Let’s go CPO

@Sunnergren my advice is to always size up if in between. Give yourself a bit of room for shrinkage, layering, and to gain a little weight.

One other name and fabric to consider. Wool & Prince. I have their Signature Black Tee in size medium and I have worn it almost daily for the last 2 months. I wear it for 2 weeks straight and then hand wash it and hang dry. The only smell it picks up is a bit of deodorant but otherwise the wool just regulates itself perfectly.

They make a natural color, but not a white. They are spendy at $80 a piece, but my cost per wear is going down quick.

They also make an “Interlock” which is a 10oz I’ll try next fall.

@Crease thanks my man! It hasn’t been washed yet, and has no need to. But I have been tempted to just to move the fades along even quicker.

@cooldude_abe did you wash or soak? It has that telltale linen wrinkle

Highly recommend “Small Prophets”. It centers around a man who is trying to find answers to his girlfriends disappearance 7 years prior.

Touching and funny.

@Go-For-Chill what Merz did you find good for you? They make quite a few variations. And good points on desired features of a worthwhile tshirt.
