    @Megatron1505:

    I don't think there is a top 5 for me. I've loved all the Iron Heart items I've owned over the years, and I honestly believe that what IH do gets better every year.

    There are things/ items/ pieces, whatever you want to call them, which I sincerely believe IH do better than anyone else. These would be….

    Heavy denim
    Heavy flannels
    Deck jackets
    Denim shirts
    Variety of denims, which aren't just a bit gimmicky

    For me, nobody touches IH on any of the above. The combination of Haraki and Giles means we get Japanese craftsmanship which fits the western build, and that's the winner.

    I agree. When I buy other brands IH is the standard I use for comparison. QC is superb.Of course it's preaching to the choir on this site I'm saying nothing you don't already know.

    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
    Well, I have others.

          Thanks for the help
          I normally use Safari. Right now I am logged in on chrome and still no option to add a picture. Maybe a settings problem on my iPad ?

            Could be… check Java settings and if they're not turned on then make it so.

              Would a 2-1 weave denim stretch more or less than standard 3-1 weave (all other factors being equal)?

              I want to say less, but I don't really know…

                        I've overdyed my 76, once then a top up to try get it darker. Used Dylon machine dye. My only niggle is creases from the hot wash in the machine (both sleeves)..

                          Random question:

                          So on ebay I was able to snag the 130-GB that my size sold out of before I could buy this fall.

                          The seller told me he purchased from directly from Japan. Am I correct in assuming the sizing for items is the same for the UK and Japan? I figured that they are all made at the same time with the same specifications and then divided up between G and H. However, the Japan website has much different measurements than the UK one.

                          Any guidance/experience?

                          Cheers,
                          Dan

                            Same tagged sizes apply. IHUK don't use the published Japanese measurements and measure all stuff themselves when it arrives, hence the difference. I remember Giles getting a vest in for me that he otherwise wasn't going to stock and I ordered it based on Japanese measurements. G's measurements were entirely different and I had to size up.

                              @neph93 Thanks mate. I figured that was the case, but I just wanted to make sure.

                              I recall G mentioning something in another thread (I can't recall now given how many I have read over the years) about not making assumptions on fit or sizing decisions based on the measurements posted on the Japan website.

                              Appreciate the help sir!
