My classmates are like: "I wanna buy or build a house, live there with the wife, make kids, plan the future…"
I am like: "I want a vintage Harley after we finished school and wanna live in a small flat with my denim and records. Oh, and I wanna be a rockstar. Of course with a fully tattooed body."
They always look at like I am weird alien from outer space. Am I really a strange weirdo?
Yes you are @JCMx800. Why do you want a Harley?

The sulphur pigment overdye process we all know and love, can it be done at home in some way? I have plans…

Forgive me if this question has been asked elsewhere: Why are the labels on the IHSH111, IHSH112 and IHSH113 different than the usual IH labels (ironed on vs. fabric)?

hardly any retailers want to stock 35's
I've always found that weird. On the one hand you rarely see 35 tagsize, on the other hand when someone does go the extra mile and make something in 35 they always seem to be sold out. Also I hear all the time that guys want 35 tagsize. I guess it's fear of stock just sitting there. If you sell the 35's maybe you don't sell the 36's…

I checked many of IH's latest Releases and thought often, that a 35 would be the ideal size for me. I know that most brands don't do them, but always wondered, why it had to be between 34 and 36 to split sizes while going down to small sizes without that difference. Is it just common practice or is there a good / historical reason for it?

I know exactly what you mean. And that's a good questions. Because on the face if it, it just seems like big guy prejudice [emoji1]

Same for me. 34 is often either too slim in the thigh or the top block is too small, even if the waist is ok ish. 36 is usually ok, but the top block is a bit big and I am relying on a belt.

^It's likely that the difference between 1 inch at 34-36 is less of an impact than 1 inch @ 30-34.
That's occurred to me in the past and you may well be right. On the other hand I'm not sure I buy it. What about shoes and tops/shirts? They don't drop sizes at the big end of the curve there. Either way it's a pain in the ring when you're trying to fit good denim properly…
Also @Snowy can I suggest moving this to Random Questions in case others feel the need to chip in? I'm aware it's moving off topic.

I don't know. H released IH-634S in 35 a few years ago. No western retailers took them, and take up was so slack in Japan, he did not make them again…..Well, until I asked, but even then, he does not stock any himself..
You made the last run of SBG BB's in a 35" as well. I picked a pair up from R&H and they are the perfect fit.

Regarding the tops/shirts, this is one of the great things about IH for me, in that there is a good spread of sizes around the L/XL/XXL/XXL range with not too much of a gap in physical size between them. That and the good sizing charts (measurements) mean getting or choosing the fit you want is better than with a lot of other brands for me.
