This one form Buzz is really good for the pricehttp://www.buzzricksons.com/product_info.php?products_id=74. I think its the same as the SE one linked above, but a good bit cheaper I've ordered loads form this guy, no issues at all. IHSH-21 is the best Chambray of them all though.

@riffblaster:
i haven't been able to find anyone in boston that does chainstitching and i've been here for 12 years.
blue in green takes mail in orders.
Not chainstitching my friend. I think you of all people should know what I'm looking to fix
The hotsoak I did kind of made the loose stitching area a little bit worse. I really want to fix it ASAP since I don't want to kill this awesome denim haha -
aha….I would contact Riccardi on newbury street and ask them who they recommend.
and if i had known you were in boston i could have just brought them to you man!

soft toothbrush + water + paper towel for dabbing = spot cleaning heaven.
at least thats what i do.
that being said i dont think you'll regret getting overdye regardless -
Simon, i find very true what you're writing. on my new IH SH 08 you can see all kinds of stains, of which I don't know wehre they came from. Nevertheless, my 634 S-B are a lot more forgiving on stains and maybe I'm not that disturbed by stains on my jeans compared to my shirts. So, no probs with the OD's, but with black denim for me.

my superblacks need to be lint rolled daily.
-
no. it takes awhile
-
^exactly. I see not more stains than on my blue denim on the od one. But the superblack shows everything.
So, if you're concerned about the od version: I see no big difference to my other denim. if you like it, go for it. Hope this helps.

I didn't wash it yet. I spilled ketchup on my hip (a huge stain) and could remove it with local cleaning using dr. bronner and water. But it did remove some of the black overdye. Nothing serious, as it's on a place that fades anyway, but you should be careful with detergent.

I agree, if it doesn't bother you too much "wear" it out, otherwise try spot cleaning (maybe with mild soap). I wouldn't wash this early.
