@RobeOfTheMagi Happens to me on my iMac too. It’s an annoying, untidy thing, but not a problem in itself. It won’t damage your HDD.
It has to do with how the energy saving settings on your mac work. The usb-C interface loses power when the machine sleeps and the HDD loses the connection.
You can fiddle with the energy saving settings and it might help, but likely at the expense of increased electricity consumption and possibly the lifetime of your MacBook.
School work finished, and a free weekend ahead of me. Autumn is holding off for a few more days too. What’s a boy to do? 
Look great to me. I understand the scepticism/discomfort that comes with moving outside of your subjective comfort zone, but you’re golden here. Relax and enjoy.
Also, the only objective problem with a low rise is the risk of plumbers crack. Find a good friend, then bend, crouch and squat a lot in front of them. If there’s a problem you will be told

@neph93 What happened to your fingers?
I could tell you, but @Matt 's mum would have to kill you.

What's the measurements for this? My head is on the larger size so I wanna know if it'll fit.
@hjl360 correct. And that was decided to be the limit. The challenge was the seams on the sleeves and the cuffs, which also negates the shirts.
At the end of the day @rimaarts never say never. But the denims you mention are not IH 25oz, and the brands aren’t Iron Heart. Until the Boss finds a way of doing it with his denim, that he is satisfied with, it won’t happen.
@rimaarts you’ll notice I said impossible to make well. And that is Haraki-san’s conclusion. Not mine.
I’ve always found Russian to be quite beautiful to listen too. The way of mixing consonants and vowels can be harsh, but is often quite enchanting too.
@rimaarts not really an option for the same reason an IH 25oz type III jacket doesn’t exist. The denim is so thick, and tricky to work with that the amount of felled seams make it impossible to make well.
@Tago-Mago the denim gods giveth and taketh away 
@Richard they’re going to be work mate… but it is very rewarding as the end result is akin to thick indigo sweatpants. Especially in the forgiving 888 cut.
To be fair, 4oz is the weight of a regular t-shirt. Glue that into your 21oz and you’d know about it.
Of course, the 25oz is much less pliable than the 21oz, but that is a factor of design, not weight.
IHUK have sole responsibility for all distribution outside of Japan. A large portion of that distribution is western only, including many jeans cuts, and a lot of shirting. There is also a smaller amount of items that are more or less only available in Japan. The 463 being an example.
As sole distributors internationally, IHUK also supplies Self Edge. As one of the oldest IH retailers outside of Japan, Self Edge are privileged to have cuts that are exclusive to them, namely the 633 and 301.
In that case I’d certainly do a 30-40C soak first. That way you’re finished with it. If they fit now, they fit after the stretch. Just means a bit of work the first few days of wear.
@jpvisual the stretch is greater than the shrinkage so the will be a net increase in measurements after the soak and the wear.
Be aware that while a cold soak will minimise shrinkage, the potential for shrinkage remains in the fabric. So a wash at 30C down the line may mean they shrink some more.
There is a good argument for a hot soak straight away to get all the shrinkage out. Then you’ll have a day or two of discomfort while they stretch out. After that you’ll be golden.

You’ll scare me off
