They are duck, and I vaguely recognise them, but can't remember the Lot Number or if indeed we ever went into production with them....

Creases and fades
Read somewhere but can’t find it now, someone mentioning something like soaking to set in creases in legs/arms before washing to get better fades. Could someone clarify please?
-
@Gavin666 You can also soak specific areas where you want creases set for combs etc, by heavily misting only those areas. You can even do this whilst wearing, and it mitigates the possibility of misshapen knees/elbows.
Then as stated, wear until dry. Good luck!

Meaning they may have been Japan only?

@Oaktavia Well, that conversation didn’t go into my memory banks…lol. @scooter thank you for letting me know and hopefully I can remember it the next time an orange thread question pops up…

I have a brand new pair of XHS. Haven't soaked/washed them yet. I lost some weight during summer and there's some excess fabric in the back. If I make a very very hot soak and then machine wash them (cold or warm), will shrinkage be permanent or will stretch back to pre soak measurements? Of course inseam and hem will not. I'm asking about thighs, front and back rise.

@goosehd somehow I remembered...it may be due to my semi recent bout of sobriety, or maybe my hyper fixation on double duck would prevail regardless.
Anyway I'm still searching and I found 23oz duck/duck which if you keep scrolling you will see @Giles adds,
"We are sampling a 634S type cut but with triple stitching and the like, I am also discussing a chino type work pant.."

@boutsk With the XHS, you will probably lose about .5” and up to 1.5” in the waist washing it that way. The waist will stretch back out while the other areas (unless they are under tension) should not.

Thank you. Have you got any idea how much will lost at front and back rise?

@boutsk “up to” means you “may lose” not “will lose” a half inch.
This is not an exact science and I’m afraid to put any definite numbers out there. Your results could vary from that number and is more of a generalized number from many users past experiences.
You have to decide if a half inch will get you what you want or not.

IH-888 and White's Nomad Engineer Boots
Greetings all!
Hoping someone can help me with this. I own pair of Iron Heart 888s (size 35) and I'm considering buying a pair of White's Nomad Engineer boots. I'm not sure, however, if the pant opening will fit over the shaft of the boots. Does anyone have experience with this? -
@goosehd Thanks.
