                So I think I could make a 29 work, I might die but I could make it work.

                So this is my question, are we still allowed an initial soak before wear and be able to compete in the no wash contest for that denim?

                      You shouldn't be soaking unsanforized denim anyway, I fail to see the problem  :-\

                        It gets out manufacturing chemicals and gunk; I've soaked sanforized jeans and had the water turn brown from all the stuff processed into the denim.  I soak every pair before I wear them, regardless of whether they're STF or not.

                        But hey, that's just me…

                          As requested, close up pics of the Dark Stain Bridle with a brass number 4 buckle, 1.5" width. Please pay close attention to the profile of the buckle, which I believe is just about perfect.

                            I'm with Chris, everything gets soaked, gets all the crap out.

                            And yes I know stanfordized doesn't "shrink" but there is still a tiny amount of shrinkage left that it gets out.

                            I also believe its good for the denim and gets stuff set where it wants to be.

                                  Hey guys,

                                  Thanks for promoting cheaper alternatives for products I'm retailing to support the comp, maybe you could drop into the 634 thread and link every time you see a pair of Samurai or SDA for cheaper. Well done  😠

                                    I think it is bloody bad form when people do this to me on this forum, but I let it ride, mainly because whenever for eg. Samurai gets mentioned, Iron Heart goes higher up the search engine hits - (try googling "samurai jeans").

                                    However, I think it totally unacceptable when this is done to someone else and effectively stiffs a person who is putting a lot of time, effort and emotion into making something a success (and fun for an awful lot of people) for no personal monetary gain.

                                    We have no problem with other brands being mentioned on this forum and in fact celebrate the diversity of discussion, but we do have a problem with it being done in the wrong thread with no forethought.  Do some of you park your manners at the door when you enter the forum?  Yes, I am pissed off.

                                    I have deleted the offending threads, if you want to repost, do it in the right place.

                                      I was also confused why nerkg re-registered for just posting that…
                                      H&M also has some cheap leather belts...I've heard 😉

                                      I appreciate that the IH forum is quite open to all other brands and I for one try to just post about this stuff where it belongs (mainly the "Other brands" sub-forum)

                                          hey mega,
                                          I just wanted to tell you and I am sure I am speaking for the greater majority when I say this, but am very greatful for all the time you are putting in to not only host the competition but also makes things available for us like the competition shirts hat belts jeans….. ALL OF IT! As Giles stated I think at times people have an issue with their manners.

                                          It is an amazing effort on your part and you deserve commendation. On top of all of this, you have even managed to start the HWBC comp at the same time... I didn't get in on that one in time because was not sure what was going to happen with our IH viberg boot... I know that I am a new guy in th eneighborhood but you are doing a lot to help make this place a great experience.... and for that I wish to say

                                          I wish to sincerely thank you for your efforts mega
