I never read the comic, so I can't answer you Mega re: the better author. But, since you are familiar w/the Dark Kight…who would win..
Batman v. Nighthawk (modern version)?
The Bat NEVER loses.

I have the same denim identification routine; unfortunately in my small town there is one "fashion" store, its name is "the buckle" for those familiar and everyone wears their clothing lines, same shirts, sane denim with gawdy, over done pocket designs, sometimes sequins are even worked in, as well as giant over sized over gauge thread stitching… It's hideous, they are all cookie cutter kids. It would actually be refreshing to see a pair if APC or nudie, even more so yo see IH but doubt it will happen. I'm the about the only one into this stuff around here. I keep quiet and my 2 cents to myself because when I explain they look at me like I'm insane.
That's how it is in Lawton, America, USA.

Is it just the lining? VEB may have some thoughts on this one.

not sure and it's hard to see clearly inside the boot, but the crack definitely feels "substantial" haha..
-
What I mean is, is it visible from the outside of the boot?
-

Where your boots stored with cedar shoe trees in them or any kind of stuffing? It kind of looks like the insole split which could be from in addressed moisture in the area they could cause a bit of rot. Not positive though, the pictures not to clear. If is indeed only that I would think a knowledgeable cobbler could fix it in a jiffy
-
yeah ill take them to my cobbler eventually, apparently hes on vacation! no, i did not store them with shoes trees or anything else, but always let them dry thoroughly when used.
ill see what my cobbler charges. if its too much, i might leave em as is cuz theyre too small. love them though ^_^
-
Hope it works out for ya man! It might nevertheless looking into a pair of cedar shoe trees their pretty cheap and will absorb any moisture that might not be noticed. Just a suggestion but they do help and at only $15 buck or do it a cheap investment that can really prolong the life of nice footwear.

Moving this from Triple Works Pipeline…
First off, wow.
Some real gem posts in there today.Can't say I was expecting so many childish remarks from you guys.
I can't think of anyone more passionate about Iron Heart than Mike. Not one person comes to mind.
Don't ask me how but for someone who has never actually manufactured or been to any mills he knows a ridiculous amount of info about the techniques/fabrics all these companies use.
Do you think he's giving criticism just to be a dick?
No, he fucking loves IH(especially the tees) and wants everything about the products to be perfect. He also wants to be able to buy a size large and it fit similar to all the other IH tees he has.I know IH is not a tee shirt company.
We sell 1,000's of T shirts a year. We are a Japanese company, any product that we make (unless I specifically commission it) has to span the East/West sizing Divide. If they don't fit you, then cool, go buy something else. And I am not going to specifically commission a special size run because a) The margins are tiny on Tee's, so it just isn't worth it, and b) the other half of my customer base would start bitching.
Giles, you definitely took this quote the wrong way. I didn't read that as an insult at all. Mike was basically saying that he knows IH's focus is not on T-Shirts. That's it. Unless the tagline under the IH logo says "6.5oz Heavy Tees," then I apologize.
But if you are consistently rude, derogatory and finish every other post with a snide "Oh. I forgot, Iron Heart is not a T-shirt company", then any "suggestions" or "advice" you give will be ignored.
If you behaved like that at my house, you would not be invited back. This forum is no different.
You misquoted him there and definitely took it out of context.
Here's the actual quote,
@MikeC:The loopwheeled fabrics don't shrink, at all, horizontally, but they def shrink an inch or so vertically with several wears and washes. Also, shoulders need to be slimmed a little, like Seul said. I don't see why it's such a problem to make the loopwheeled shirts in the same cut as the OG IH tees. Please don't take this personal, it's just some creative criticism. I know IH is not a tee shirt company.
The forum is actually a lot different. If we were all sitting at your house we would be having a civilized discussion about why there are sizing issues within all brands. Instead, anytime the subject comes up it gets changed to, "guys stop being OCD, just buy them or don't. Giles, you're amazing, thank you so much for this community." Yes, this is great community full of all types of people from all around the world. It's a very unique amazing place. It's also a place for us to voice our opinions whether you like them or not(unless the Mods don't like them of course).
I understand small sizing differences between runs but some things are crazy off, like 1-2 sizes off.
Does it just come down to human error?
Did you switch factories?
If you use the same pattern with the same material shouldn't it be relatively close?This quote is awesome btw.
@MikeC:Actually, once a pattern is made, its made. Giles has mentioned on several occasions that its too expensive to go back and change ANYTHING on an existing pattern. If all the denim was one washed Unsanforized, then I'd get a 0.5" discrepancy, here and there, but not a full 2 inches in the waistband (like the 666S). I even mentioned that the Vulcan sizing looks like the 634S cut is evolving, since its noticeably slimmer, but I was told that Haraki would never change that cut (this is documented in the 634SV thread).
Again, this is all out of love for the brand. So no reason to get upset. We all want Iron Heart to be perfect.
