Why do Iron Heart Shirts Hems Roll Upwards and Outwards?

This is definitely one of those bits of clothing nerd knowledge that will get you a funny 'why do you know that' look if you tell someone.

[Giles]

A rather excellent example….

14oz indigo/black western....

[Chris]

My wabash shirts do it, too.

[JDelage]

Does that disappear over time, as the shirt gets worn?

[Giles]

Nope

H thinks he may have solved the issue.  He is experimenting with variable needle and bobbin pressure…..

[Kasi]

So the magic has been done..

Wow I’m excited to hear more about the fix. On a related note, I recently started up a new hobby…think they call it “ironing.” It’s cathartic AND afterward I no longer feel the urge to pull on my shirt hem 63839308 times during the day. So H might need to make a IH stress ball or fidget spinner once he renders ironing obsolete.

The best, least stressful way of tackling it is to learn to live it. The shirts still look boss.

actually, I like it …

and, once it's solved the old shirts will be collectors items

Me too, I like it when they roll up.

The difference between a bug and a feature is often perception…

What are the results from the lab?

[Giles]

I'm actually not sure. @alex ?

[Alex]

Have not heard anything about it

[jerkules]

I love hem roll! It’s a nice feature of the heavier weight shirts.

Hi Alex, since You meet him soon it would be cool to see what are the insights from his experiments.

@Alex were the experiments fruitful?

We didn't talk about it, sorry. He constantly makes tweaks to production without telling us, I would assume this is one of those cases. I have not noticed any hem roll on my shirts from this year.
