@Giles:Apologies if this has already been asked.
When you guys decide to make a new denim do you plan to make it a quick or slow fader? Or do you just have to see what the sample does?
Curious because we are seeing a lot of fast fades in the latest denim and I wondered if that was planned.

Depends on the item. There are sizing differences between the batches, i.e. the IHT 3000 fits different than the IHPT and the T2014. I have M in all These three, but went for Large in the 2015 Tees. I tried the 1506 on in both M and L and found the M to be rather short and tight. So be sure to check the sizing Chart and compare the Lots of your Tees.

Thanks Max, good to know.

Max is spot on. Important to emphasise the differences in models and lots. Also important that an item from the same lot, with the same product code will be (pretty much) the same where ever it's bought. So an XL ihtp-04 from rakuten will be the same (or close enough) to one bought from IHUK.

Thanks neph. Good to know I can use Giles' sizing chart as a guide.

The double duck is a fast fader, not sure anything else is. We ring the changes, but we never really know how a denin/duck will fade until we wear it

Ok, quick question… I wanna buy a cheap, big fridge to store beer in (yes: another one)... I have my eye on one, but it doesn't have the No Frost cooling system... On the other hand, I'm probably either gonna put it at the maximum temperature possible (7-8C° probs), or buy an external controller and keep it at 12C°...
At these high temps, would frosting inside the fridge still take place?.. I don't wanna have to take my beer out and de-frost it all the damn time...
-
Quick answer - yes.
I have a temperature controlled beer fridge set at 12 degrees, I have tested it and it is indeed 12 degrees, but the inside still frosts and you get a film of lightly frosted condensation on your bottles. It doesn't bother me as I'm not an anal retentive Belgina with a penchant for porcine love.
-
Not necessarily; frosting is from humidity more than temperature. If you have a good seal on the door and the inside of the fridge stays dry(ish), then you shouldn't have a problem. My beer fridge is out in my garage, fully subject to the swamp-like Houston atmosphere, and I haven't had any problems with frost buildup.

Stupid q : no summer weight shirts this year? The rare occurrence when it's too warm here for UH!

Hi all,
I wanted to see if anyone had any experience modifying IH shirts. I did a search through the forum and it seems like people are able to shorten the sleeve and shorten the shirt, however details on exactly what was done is lacking.
Specifically, when shortening the sleeves, is it more advisable to modify from the cuff or the shoulder? Can a competent tailor replicate the stitching on the shoulder seam? What about the flat inside seam? Is there any fabric that is especially hard to tailor, such as heavy weight denim?
Thanks!
Dan

Dan in my limited experience sleeves are always shortened from the cuff the cuff removed excess removed and then resewn.
a competent and experienced tailor/seamstress should be able to do all the above, however I have seen a few faces that look like this [emoji50] when presented with heavy weight denim as their needles/machines have to be up to the job.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@d.s3 Have a tailor remove the shirt cuff completely and reattach it at the point to achieve the desired shirt sleeve length
I've had a Belstaff Trialmaster jacket sleeve lengthened, at Hideout Leathers, using a similar method however with the addition of millerain cotton to achieve the desired length.

@Black Orchid Thanks! I can totally see that face! Will ask my tailor about shortening at the sleeves!

I might need to move a button on my Jeans. Is there a way to get the old button undone without destroying it?
