After only a dozen wears or so i lost two button reinforcers which resulted in the left hand cuff button coming off and the upper chest one hanging loose :(. Can these reinforcers be picked up from say a craft shop easily? As i've not wore mine since as i was so disapointed that this happened so quick.

Yeah Giles i was rather gutted to be honest as when i first got hold of it and saw those reinforcers i thought "nice touch" only to find out that some were not quite up to the job. I'm sure it was just a bit of bad luck in my case and anyways 100 % of the product is not going to be 100% all the time some small issues will creep in now and again but thanks very much for the impending replacements i appreicate it greatly.

Haraki responds:

Mr G
I'm sorry
I send buttons with next shipment.

[Omega Man]

Ok G.  I  know you and Haraki-san stand by your products.  These are the same buttons/reinforcers used in the IHSH 35, IHSH21bk, IHSH26, IHSH26bk.  I know who to call if/when I need replacements!

[Dchill]

Yeah, my top button is about to fall off too…..

[Giles]

Haraki is very embarrassed by this.  He is looking into the issue so that we can make sure that we attach these buttons on a better fashion going forwrad.  In the mean time.  If anybody needs replacements, please just drop me a PM.  Giles

[Splattered]

The official JP site lists the IHSH-21 as new … something about a new fit? They still have the old and new versions up? Sorry if this was discussed elsewhere...

[Giles]

I think he just means, new run.  No discernible difference with the ones I got last week.

Sorry to say 3 buttons hanging off my new shirt after only 2 days - I think there is to much tension in the thread, one of the reinforcers is cracked.

No biggie for me - I tend to cut buttons off and re-sew using a threaded shank . . . good for heavier materials

Geo

[Giles]

Geo,  Sorry about that.  Yes, we had a problem with that batch which Haraki has now fixed.  I have spare buttons here if you need any…Giles

[Geo]

Apologies and buttons not necessary Giles

This is a top class piece of clothing which I am seriously impressed with (and anyway I have my own personal little thing about how buttons should be attached).

Ask Haraki what he thinks of threaded shanks or shanked buttons - using a heavy material the fastener needs some play, a bit like the button fly on denims

[Giles]

The ones you have are OK.  What the factory did not do this time was give some play in the button, he specced about a mm of give.  They sewed them on tight and the pressure just busts the thread.  G

[Geo]

gotcha boss man

cheers

Hey folks - any ideas on how to approach repairs for this?  The area on the left elbow started to wear out a bit and it finally broke open the other day.  I noticed that a lot of my shirts have a little extra wear on the left elbow so it obviously has something to do with how I'm sitting at work.  But that said I'm a bit disappointed that this shirt hasn't stood up to the rigors of the modern desk job.

Any suggestions?

How long ago have you had this shirt?
