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. -
Quick question: is it extra hard to indigo-dye wool? I'm curious why we see so little indigo wool…
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.

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!

For starters,you'll learn,over time that some shirts or jeans just won't work out for you when it comes to measurements. You should get a tape measure,watch the IH video on how to measure shirts,and then measure the shirt that you really like and use those numbers as a base line for knowing what will fit you the best. If you really like a shirt and one of the measurements is off,say sleeve length,you can always ask the IHUK crew to look for a shirt that might satisfy your measurement needs. Occasionally quite a few of us have just had to pass on an item because the measurements just weren't going to work out. Hope this helps.

Hey, I appreciate the input on the sizing. I assumed that the size charts were somewhat accurate and the sizing from shirt to shirt was consistent but, I can see now it's sort of hit or miss. Obviously, the best is to go somewhere to try the shirts on, I bought the flannel at Self Edge in SF but, they don't carry all styles.
I may give IH direct another shot at some point to see if I can nail something I like, thanks again!
