There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

Interesting, thank you.

But, just to fuck with us and our customers, Haraki is definitely a proponent of "rules are made to be broken"

So there really is no rule, do not fret, it is nothing obvious......

Overdyed things often don't have them because the overdying damages the run off, for example

Two stupid questions from me:
Have given my first UHF shirt its first wash. Was tagged M and was just a tad too big, gave it a cotton wash at 40 with my normal shirts with the full normal spin. It has shrunk a little, am now v happy with the fit. Is there a risk of further shrinking if I inadvertently give it a ‘full’ wash again?

Second question is how much fabric is used up in hemming?
Just had a pair of 634 SB back from hemming. Unfortunately I didn’t measure the leg length before sending them back, but when cuffed them to work out the length I wanted, I did have around 3cm of cuff.
When they were returned with the removed material. It was only around the width of the chainstitch, around 1cm, not the 2.5 to 3 cm I expected.

Makes me feel a bit foolish asking for them to to be hemmed by such a small amount

1st question answer - you've probably got rid of most of it, but there could be a tiny amount left.

2nd question answer - we need to cut 2.5cms longer than the finished length
