      Is lowering the rise on jeans possible?

      What is the difficulty/cost/time associated with it.

      Mainly lowering the back rise, a little off the front would be nice too but mainly the back.

          Fanya- next to impossible to alter the rise.  Basically, you would have to take the jeans apart, re-cut the pieces, then sew it back together.  Easier just to buy a different pair of jeans with the rise you want.

              Really?  Wow, that's pretty impressive if he's willing to and capable of doing that.

                    Hi,

                    I don't know if this has been posted previously as there doesn't seem to be a search function on this forum to verify.

                    I was looking through the shirts and the sizing charts in the online shop and have noticed a measurement that is glaringly missing - the collar/neck size.

                    I know this measurement is less important than say a dress shirt as most people would not button all the way to the top button as these are casual shirts, but I do think it would be useful to know this measurement among the different sizes & styles of shirts on offer.

                    Thanks

                    The search function is top left under the Iron Heart logo.

                    I would not say "glaringly", as this is only the second time I have been asked the question in 8 years.  I'll talk to Paula and Winchy about including it in future…

                      I really would not attempt this.

                        can it be possible in the near future at Iron Heart makes some sneakers?
                        IH sneakers.
                        Haraki can have an interest for that?
                        you?
                        FlatHead makes some now. very good quality.
                        Is it correct to make a comparaison?
                        i do really not now 🙂 i am only curious!
                        cheers!

                              Pierre man thx, yeah i would be willing to pay a good amount for a nice IH sneaker collabo. Would be awesome, maybe it could work like the special orders with Brett as soon as nice old school vintage Design could be defined ;). Maybe Nigel cabourn collabo? Hehehe dreaming already….East meets West Collabo

                              kinda something like this using IH Duck and Horween calf in either a high or low top (c) instagram of Rising Sun Jeans, Mike Hodis

                                      A) Does anyone know of a decent one for sale?
                                      😎 What do you think about the idea?
