Quick question: is it extra hard to indigo-dye wool? I'm curious why we see so little indigo wool (I know Andersen-Andersen does it, but I haven't seen it elsewhere much)?

Hey, I'm looking for a proxy in the US that will receive and forward a patch. Shipping is crazy expensive but as it's only a patch I think it's cheaper to go with a standard letter.
Any help is highly appreciated.

I’m speculating here, but wool has naturally occurring  water resistant properties and indigo is water soluble. Perhaps these two things present a challenge when dying? Cotton on the other hand sucks in water and doesn’t release it easily.

Anybody have any denim/fabric scraps or remnants they might be willing to part with? My 666N are about ready for another round of repairs and I'm hoping to be able to change up some of what they're being patched with.

I'm all ears, and not very picky in this case. The more varied the better actually. I still have about a leg and a half of the hickory stripe, but will take whatever you'd part with. Just let me know what you'd need/want to make something happen.

Ah yo! …little help with sizing please?

IH sizes are perplexing to me because I never realized the sizing varied so much between shirts. I own a Ultra Heavy Flannel Medium and it fits me like it was tailored but, I recently ordered a chambray work shirt, expecting it to fit "slim" through the body, but it was loose on me thru the waist. The shoulders and arms fit fine but, the waist had a lot of extra material. Now, here's the perplexing part; when I compare the size chart measurements, the flannel states slightly larger measurements both for the chest and waist.

Can anyone recommend, from experience, what shirts fit most similar to the ultra heavy flannels?

Short of ordering several shirts, all in different sizing, and sending back the ones that don't fit, I'm not really sure how to order based upon the size charts which obviously have discrepancies.

Thanx!
