Does wabash fade the same as other IH 12 OZ denim and what makes the shirts with metal buttons better? Thx.

The IH Wabash is a 12oz twill weave, but not the same material as the IHSH-33’s. It is a serge rather than denim. It fades with higher contrast and more quickly than denim 12oz shirts.
Aluminium cat’s eye buttons were used on the original IHSH-68’s. They are no longer sourceable. Regular melamine buttons replaced them for a while. New metal buttons are now available, so you can get both. They both do what buttons are supposed to, so it’s pretty much down to personal preference.

Oh man, no that is not a good idea. Not in any way.

I think, given that the other tattoos are traditional Buddhist symbols and Thai flag etc., the tattoo is clearly also a symbol for Buddhism. You see them everywhere in temples in Thailand and other SE Asian countries.
I totally understand people’s aversion to that particular symbol. However, the thought of a Buddhist or Thai person not being able to proudly display their ancient symbol of their religion/country feels wrong. Especially considering the symbol was appropriated by racist white Europeans. As a white European, I’d never consider it my place to go around telling a Buddhist to cover or remove that symbol to protect my sensitivity to that symbol. I completely understand the need to take that symbol back. Anyway, just my 2cents.

The photo is of Johnny, who is Thai and a Buddhist…..
It's not up to me or @Alex to censor things that are important to others….
The symbol is used a lot by native American Indians (if I am actually allowed to call them that in the Woke world we live in), and I wouldn't dream of telling them to buff it out of their silver jewellery because it offended my privileged white sensibilities.....

Well said @jerkules and @Giles
The swastika appears in many forms of geometric patterns in many countries in contemporary contexts. Lately, it has appeared intertwined into intricate tattoo designs in parts of Europe and Asia.
I find it to be a visually beautiful symbol in the right contexts, not just the rigid, angular version that we sometimes recognize as a symbol of Nazism. It is a shame those bozos couldn't be creative enough to make up their own symbol.
Here are some images I would like to share:

No guys this is not what it looks like
Something I always wanted to know is why the water at first soak turns yellow/ orange . Normally I would expect it to become blue. This time it is very intensiv. Soaked my new IHSH- 33 ind .

and if it's yellow, it's most likely corn derived as opposed to rice or tapioca.
Here's a recent starch cook up demo I did at work (there is a yellowish hue to the corn version). waxy corn starch (higher amylopectin) on the left, and various rice and tapioca starches on the right.
