Random questions to which you seek an answer

@pechelman looks rad, I really like the colour you went for! Did you use a standard dye kit like Dylon or something?

[pechelman]

Thanks @jerkules
I used RIT dye using the stove top method and the "Petal Pink". Also used the fixer afterwards to prevent it from bleeding or fading too much.

Also found the original post; it lightens up a bunch after it gets a wash and dry.

Great color!

Does a thread exist for the 18 oz OD version of the 301S?
I've tried a few different attempts using the search function but no dice

[AdamJ]

@GraemeE Because we do not carry the 301 or 633 models, there is not always a dedicated product thread that links to the store. Not to say that there isn't a thread started by someone else.

Having just had a quick search myself, I can't see a 633S-18od

[GraemeE]

@AdamJ no worries

Thanks for looking

Curious, does anyone else rotate/wear/wash their denim based off the current level of “stink” and the activities to ensue? As in, wow, this one is really ripe… *pull out of rotation and add to the sweaty yard work pile and push a few more days of wear before wash.

[AdamJ]

@flannel-slut After getting over the initial "washing will prevent the fades!" I tend to just wash as and when needed

[Giles]

My mother drilled it into me from a young age, if your shit looks dirty, or smells, wash it.

Sage advice.

[flannel slut]

For the most part, I do wash when smelly or dirty but come summer and yard work; I need to wash, literally every time. I’ve been moving some of these items that could use a wash into my “working in my workwear” pile before cleaning.
However, still can not be bothered to wash behind my ears.

[Tago Mago]

If you're parting a crowd as if you're Moses at the Red Sea you probably need to wash your clothes or yourself more often

[flannel slut]

certainly not moving these stinky items into the date night pile. BUT I may need to reconsider moving these stinkies into my "going through customs pile"... Moses and the Red Sea sounds like it could have major advantages

[ROman]

Hopefully your washing with a good detergent, sometimes a stench has been known to remain in fibers after washing.

[flannel slut]

@ROman none of my IH gear holds much odor and does air out very well but will say my RGT ISC shirt gets stinky no time, like a super power

[FlavourFade]

@flannel-slut since I don't live in a very warm climate I can stretch out the periods of "no wash" by hanging my denim outside in the cooler nights. Also my workplace has aircon. But I have never worn a pair of jeans longer than 100 days without a gentle wash. Even if they don't smell, they still get dirty or stained at some point

I happened upon an interview of Daniel Day Lewis and it almost looked like he had a Iron Heart shirt on. Can anyone confirm?
Looks like it had the western yokes in front but not in back

[tody]

I doubt that. Small label looks out of place.

[goosehd]

@tody Agreed!

Hi all,

i´ve got a more genereal question.
How important is the shouldermeasurement if the chest size is correct ?
If read somewhere that you only have to take look at the shoulder measurement if the sleeves are very long or short in relation to your own measurements.

[DrPat]

In my opinion it’s the most important measurement. It’s easy to see when the shoulders are too big and it’s nearly impossible to fix when tailoring. Shoulders are the first dimension I look at when checking sizes.

@goosehd please move this topic to the appropriate area in the forum.
