Is there a XXL laying around in the office by chance?

@Giles:

Won't be for a few months I am afraid.  Covid has had some significant long-term effects on the industry in Japan, many foreign workers who worked in the mills and factories were sent home, and many of them have decided not to return…..

So everything is a juggling act for us at the moment....We do A, we cant do B or C, we do C, we cant do D or E etc etc etc....

Bummer. Thanks for the update.

Last update was 5 months ago. Any word on restock?

Thanks neph, I think I'll just get a normal thread color like non-OD IHs.

For those with OD denim that had length hemmed, what color thread did you go with? Since the thread is OD and the new thread isn't, I'm wondering what will look best.

Oh, hell yes. That’s a tremendous outfit. Tje tan shoes and dark jeans work an absolute treat with that shirt.

Where are you in the world? I ask because normally UHF’s in late June is something only southern hemisphere, or high north folk can do.

Thanks! San Francisco. It's actually a bit warm but my office stays cold enough that I can get by with a UHF in June.

Absolutely glorious jacket @robertsccr5

Thanks! Just realized that picture looks horrific once uploaded.

Realized my jacket has more combs and fades than my jeans do.

Looks great! I recently did a short hike in Yosemite while wearing 17oz 555. My dad thought I was crazy.

@robertsccr5:

I've always been wary of soaking just the sleeves. I don't want to lose indigo and have a difference in shade between the body and sleeves. Maybe the difference is negligible.

The difference is negligible. I think it is a common misconception that water=indigo loss.  In is understandable because of the blue residue left in the water after soaking, but that is surface indigo and does not have anything to do with the dyed fabric.

Abrasion=indigo loss. This only happens with movement, agitation and friction. Just letting the arms lie in hot water won’t give you abrasion.

All that being said, the jacket is once washed, so I doubt it will have much effect. Just wear it. The sleeves will ride up at the cuff and elbow and you’ll «lose» an inch there.

I soaked the arms tonight. I also wore it for a few minutes while damp to help set some creases. We'll see how it measures in the morning.

Just an idea, you could dip both your sleeves in hot water, then put the jacket on and set the creases in the elbows.  Let dry.  This should shorten the overall length of the sleeves.

I may try that. I've always been wary of soaking just the sleeves. I don't want to lose indigo and have a difference in shade between the body and sleeves. Maybe the difference is negligible. Maybe I'm overthinking it lol.

Looks great with the tan pants and white tee. Just flip the cuffs on the sleeve.

Thanks! I tried cuffing but didn't like the look.

I love this jacket. Sleeves are way too long but that's the story of my life at 5'8" with a 48" chest.
