Thanks a lot!
My pleasure. You should be able to use that to work most of it out, but if you get stuck then just do a post in “Random Questions” with pics of the fabric and/or shirt type and I’m sure people will help you out. In fact some people love playing guess the shirt [emoji1]

^he's right.

It is. And it was my idea to make the black chambray. But the bottom line is we are here to make money, stay healthy and be in business for the long term. Something does not sell, then it has to be killed…
It boggles me sometimes how some things don't sell. The black chambray is a killer fabric and the color is perfect. I've received many compliments on my black 13. I've tried black chambrays from other brands and the color is just off in one way or another and of course no other chambray fabric has the heft of the IH 10oz.
Guess this means I need to pick up another black 21 or 13 before they're gone.
There may be light at the end of this particular tunnel. I asked IHJP to find me another black chambray, as this was being discontinued. They told me that they still have fabric, but they are not making any more shirts out of it for Japan, "but we can make you some if you like". I've asked how much they have

If that's not a thread, it should be!

Yes!

I have always cuffed my jeans. I never thought about hemming… until now. Do any of you have a secret formula to determine your inseam length? I'm a tall boy and usually just fold my 36 inch inseam jeans once so they end up at around 34. I have a pair of 555s and 666s that are unworn in my closet that I'm trying to sort out before I put them in the rotation. I'm probably overthinking it but some insight would be great. Thanks!

Be sure to mind the shrinkage notes on any given pair you hem.

I don't know if there is a "proper" hem length for jeans. Really just depends on how you want them to look, no break, mild break, tons of stacks. I would experiment by cuffing the jean to the desired length you would like after the hem and make note of where the fold in the cuff is (taking into account the finished hem will probably shorten your inseam by 1/2-3/4" give or take). from there just give the inseam a measure to the bottom of the now cuffed jean and you should have your desired hem length.

@Giles has always been good about getting me to the right hem length. I am a 30" inseam for me, and generally with denim we have done I think 31.5" in order to account for the shrinkage (usually around 1") and allow for stacking and combs (the extra 0.5"). The wise approach is to err on the side of too long, since you can always re-hem.
Also, this is not a dumb question @Palmer
cheers

@BloodnThunder @mclaincausey Thanks. I measured some others and a good inseam length cuffed for me is 33.5. I’m gonna start with the 18oz vintage 666. The site says it’s one washed and no shrinkage to be expected so I’m thinking I’ll start at 34 to account for stacking and combs.

No problem. I have those very jeans and 31.5" hem from the IHUK crew was perfect for my 30" inseam, if that helps.

I got my pair of 888S-OD tapered and hemmed so as a result the new thread obviously doesn't have the dye in it. Has anyone done a DIY overdye of thread to attempt to match it up with the original thread? I'm not a fan of the look of the new contrasting thread that doesn't have any black dye in it.
