nice repair

[injunjack]

re cuffing IH jeans. Thruth is that IH's create severe fraying faster than any jeans I have owned before. Must have something to do with stiffness of fabric, but alas, I don't give a feck. I just repair (or get them repaired when need arises.)

Which leads me to following: with incoming 634 21/23oz, I might try to give the hems an extra soak to get rid of the stiffness and slow down the fraying of the cuff seam. How does that sound?

[Giles]

I think that the fraying is caused in part by the double weft.  We use a double weft to give the jeans the weight we want but also make them softer than they would be otherwise….I don't think that an extra soak will help.

Is there a japanese version of a an IH forum?

Think many of us (especially us sized S) would be interested in the buying/selling section

[Giles]

No there is not.  But I am talking to Haraki about him starting one up…But if he does, my recommendation is that it will be in Japanese with no special English section. Because if there is, the same questions will be asked in both places and that will spread The Hachioji crew and the Gosport gang too thin....

Well, there is a small message board: http://www.ironheart.jp/IRONHEARTBBS/IH_forum.cgi and if you read through it enough you may even find a post or two from myself. Definitely would LOVE to see a JP version of the IH UK Forum!!!

@MastersOfDeath:

What was the verdict on the IHSW-02? I recall there was some chatter about it but can't find it now.
I know it's a different cut , but are we getting 'em?
anyway, I'm keen….

I can't recall are these just zip sweats or are there pullovers also by chance?
