I'm pretty sure that cap was made from the same wabash as the IHSH-55 run of wabash material like G was saying. I'm pretty sure I have a pair of cut off 811's like Giles' pair somewhere though not nearly as well faded!

@CN Here is the info from a few days ago:

@Alex said in Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?:

Has there been any talk of doing a XHS 1955?

Is there a way you say how old a pair of 634S are when they don't have lined pockets?

[goosehd]

@RobeOfTheMagi I don’t think there is. Do you want a specific year or just a general time frame?

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Rather the last time when the pockets were still unlined. So the youngest reference I guess.

[sabergirl]

Pretty sure that 634s pockets remain unlined to this day. The pattern just doesn’t call for it.

Thanks Ann! I’m finding the same through all of my research.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Thank you both :). I did not know that.

Edit:

But that must mean the indigo version. My black pair has lined pockets (and a selvedge fly).

Shirt tuckers:

Have you had any experience with indigo transferring from the inside of your waistband to your shirt? Do you usually wait until a certain point in the fade-life of your denim before you tuck a white shirt into them?

Really wanting to tuck my new off-white 414 into my jeans so I can wear it to work, but I'd be crushed if it became a tuck-only piece.

Leg lengths

I can’t be the only one but are leg lengths getting shorter? I have just washed my 21oz 777 from the latest batch and I can only get a small single cuff. I like to have a Tokyo cuff and could only just manage before a wash and then only with certain footwear otherwise it would look like my trousers were too short! I am 6’2” so not a giant either. Personally would like a minimum of 37”. Seeing as most people seem to get them hemmed judging by secondhand sizes can’t see this being an issue?

[goosehd]

@Gavin666 I know this has been discussed before and am trying to find the answer for you. Maybe @Giles or @Alex can chime in.

[goosehd]

One of the answers I've come across regarding the shorter length on the 777's is that having them longer (37") and hemming them affects the overall taper and could be the reason that we are seeing 35.5" lengths. This is pure speculation at this point and will keep reading through the various posts.

[Gavin666]

@goosehd thanks. I tried too.

[Matt]

My 777s are some of my shortest. I think what @goosehd said makes sense.

[Giles]

I would be extremely surprised if inseams are getting shorter, and if they were it would be reflected in the sizing chart upon restock . For any given model they will be what we originally specced them to be. But they do vary between 33.5 and 37 depending on model and articulated in the sizing chart. In fact some models have a longer inseam the larger the waist. Making all bottoms 37+ would mean we get fewer jeans per roll, so we tread a line between utility and price.

Reading through yesterday's rip stop and chino new arrival email… anyone else now read the new arrival emails with @SamD voice, energy and British accent in their head? like you’re watching a product release video? Really quite charming

[SamD]

@flannel-slut Ha ha, maybe I can start narrating the newsletters in audiobook/podcast form

[goosehd]

@SamD …or romance novels from the 80’s.

Tom, with his thick blonde hair, bronze skin, and blue eyes took Margaret by the waist and pulled her body close to his. She tried to resist, but deep down she knew she wanted to kiss him. The sound of the ocean lapping at the shores made everything feel right as they embraced…is this right, is he the one. She didn’t care…
