There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

Next question … indigo transfer. I’ve had some indigo transfer from my jeans to boots and white shirts. Is there a way to stop this indigo transfer from happening, or do we wear it like a badge of honour? For reference, the jeans haven’t been washed yet … will it stop once they are washed?

[T4920]

@Denman-John in my experience, usually takes 2/3 washes for it to stop completely.

Can also depends on the way the jeans have been dyed and wether they have been pre-washed.

[Giles]

No way to stop it from happening with unwashed or lightly washed denim. As @T4920 says, it will lessen with time and the number of washes. Rope-dyed denim fades because the oxidised indigo is abraded from the fabric, that stuff has to go somewhere

A genuine question and not a whinge.

Why is there a different in price between a IH work shirt, western shirt and CPO. I note that the new SS24 collection has the IHSH-380 12 oz dobby cloth coming in at around £278 whereas the CPO is around £80 more.

What dictates the difference in price? Amount of material used, time taken to make them and the craftsmanship involved, etc? Or all of the above?

@Crispy-Heron said in There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question:

Or all of the above?

Yes. CPOs are more complicated and use more fabric to make than Westerns which are more complicated and use more fabric to make than work shirts.

@Giles - thanks. Makes sense. And now I know

…which are more complicated and use more fabric than tube tops so I’m not sure why we don’t see more of those.

West coast!!!

[goosehd]

…because there ain’t no party, like a west coast party, cause a west coast party don’t stop.

[Matt]

I’m over the West Coast. People out here don’t think right.

[Matt]

I can barely remember what it feels like to have existential dread or unnamed anxiety anymore.

[goosehd]

Wait until the Canadians invade and take over the US…oh wait we do every winter.

…and I’m sorry!

How else are we supposed to get our beaver pelts and maple syrup?

[goosehd]

I thought everyone down there shaved their beavers…

@goosehd I dread to think what @Matt gets up to in the barber shop...
