So I've got this waffle-patterned, long-sleeve, cotton, white undershirt that I picked up in Japan last time I was there.  A couple of months ago I noticed a relatively small (0.5 cm wide) stain that I believe is brown tree sap that probably fell onto the shirt when it was drying outside.  I've tried several different stain removers from the supermarket, have attempted to bleach it and have even taken it to the dry-cleaner.  None of these methods have worked in getting rid of the stain which, although quite small, looks pretty obvious on a white background.

I'm actually considering painting over the stain with white paint but was hoping to solicit suggestions from fellow forum members before this fairly radical step.

Thanks in advance!

if it is tree sap you might try using isopropylene.  Put some on the spot and rub it with your fingers and it should start coming out…. isopropylene will eat almost anything

[Qinhan]

I'll have to check to see if I've got any isopropylene, but I'll definately give it a try.  Thanks for the suggestion!

If I'm normally an L in IHSH, which allow me to layer with IH tees and a henley, will an Aero jacket size 42 fits me?

[Finn666]

^i don't own one, but it would be the size I'd go for if I'd copped one some day…so yeah, a 42 could bethe way to go!

Should this be happening to my Voyej Wallet leash? Is there anything I can to to prevent the "fraying"

Cheers

maybe try and oil/wax it, to make it a bit smoother again!? normally though they shouldn't look like this…

That happens…

Wash it, and then see how it looks. You might wanna try to burnish it, and then wax/oil.

Finn how many you've had, used?? 
Just that you see only pretty pics doesn't tell the truth. There is only one narrow strip of "surface" of the leather in round leather cord. Otherwise it's raw- or "cut".
To get it smooth it needs to be burnished or waxed - treated..

[Finn666]

…and that's what I suggested sir!
the word "burnish" didn't came to my mind though, so thanks for that!

[injunjack]

Rafa, what I meant is that they will look like that sooner or later unless you do something for them.

[Finn666]

maintenance…that's what it's all about!

[Jord666]

Cheers guys, I can get "Carrs leather oil" from my local Timpsons, anyone herd of that or used it? Should that do the trick?

Thanks again!

A while ago I remember someone posting a link to a book about fly fishing in cities and the like.  I searched all over and can't seem to find the post in question.

Anyone by chance remember the name of the book? Giles maybe?

I'd like to get a copy of it for my father…

And I read it and loved it….But is less of a guide, more of a philosophical treatise....
