^^^^^^^
true, true.

more images & less lip.

[Seul]

You're the one with the sb rider…

[madmonday]

no, no, one of my mental things, more images & less lip. i also find it hard to put something on unless i'm weraing it out.  i can't just put something on to take a picture.  when i actually wear this out i'll make sure i snap a flick

I was really hoping that it'd get cool from here on out so I could wear this thing, but California weather is fickle like that.  Was below 70s for two days, now it's 85-95 all week.

[Beatle]

stop complaining..just wear

[Seul]

That's 30+ C° Beats… I know you would probably wear 4 layers of Iron Heart, but some of us aren't cyborgs... 

[Paul9221]

Lol, yep, it isn't pleasant

I spilled some drinks on the rider jacket and decided chuck it in for a wash, came out the machine with scuff marks all over the jacket!!!

I soaked it for about 1hr and a bit, then washed it in the front loader 40'c cotton wash as instructed. I dont know what went wrong, but it seems the jacket is too stiff for machine wash!

Heres the photo of the jacket, not the best quality but u definitely notice the scuff marks in person…

So pissed off right now…

[Giles]

JZ714.  That is a real bummer.  It is always best to was anything as stiff as this inside out.

[jz714]

Is there a way to dye it black again Giles?

[Giles]

If you get it to me, I will take it to Japan with me and I'll speak to Haraki about how successful overdying it will be.  G

[jz714]

Thanks Giles, pm sent!

Another victim of the White Streaked Evil… 

[madmonday]

topnotch customer relations as always offfering up a possible OD bath.

[jz714]

I know Seul, I'm gutted…

I will try to send it out ASAP... Giles been super helpful as usual, love ironheart post-purchase service!!!

[Seul]

You should've asked how to wash 'm… Don't think anyone would've told you to put them in a washing machine... Especially not me... Or DougNg for that matter 

Anyway: hope you can get it fixed!..

[jz714]

Seul, how you normally wash it??? I wasn't meant to wash it at all!!! til it really smells…

See the 08 thread for more on this topic.  If you wash in the machine  turn it inside out and don't use the spin cycle.

[rocket]

move that in here as well (and thanks for the guide Pat)

@DrPat:

I have used the following to successfully machine wash my 08.  I have no bathtub and hand washing is too much work.

1.  Turn the shirt inside-out.
2.  Make the shirt wet.
3.  Use a liquid vegetable soap (powder and flakes are more likely to leave residue.)
4.  Wash on the gentle cycle.
5.  Do not use the spin cycle (this is the most important).
6.  After washing, use a towel to soak up the extra water. 
7.  Lie it flat on a clothes rack to dry.
