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.

^ I guess he's talking about the MBB's (right lad?)…iirc "the denim doctor uk" is doing such things!?

[Chris]

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…

@fanya:

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.

I really would not attempt this.

G,

IH sneakers.
Haraki can have an interest for that?

Winchy and I lusting after need a Cornelly Chainstitch Embroidery Industrial Sewing Machine.

We would like to offer a bespoke chainstitching service - get your name or whatever chainstitched onto whatever (pocket bags, shirts, jackets).

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

^A bit expensive though …

This could be an alternative (not sure if they do triple stitch):

Is that how Roy does his name on the pocket bags?

[MikeC]

The Singers are super rare. There are only a hand full in existence (in working order).  I'm getting my IHSH-55 worked on soon by my buddy. It's going to be a big Native American garage motif on the back with my name on the front.

@bagley920:

Yup, he's got a Singer.
