Hey fellas
Was wondering if one of you could help me out. I've just bought a lovely cowhide leather jacket from Nonnative but have some dimples on the shoulders due to it being hung on a shit hanger. Is there any way to get rid of these or will they just gradually disappear with wear?
If anyone knows some leather buffs a contact link would be great.
Any help much appreciated

I've heard that using a hairdryer on high and massaging the dents at the same time is really effective then massage a little leather condition into it afterwards… Sounds a little scary on a new leather jacket... Your call...

Yeah I must admit i'm a bit nervous about heating the jacket! I'm not the luckiest chap around so could end up with an arm falling off or something similarly frankspenceresque. Someone else suggested ironing over craft paper with no steam. Will they disappear on their own over time?

@bertoni love the phrase "frankspenceresque". "Mr Spencer?" .. "I am he."

Imho wear it hard your way and use a good hanger especially when it gets wet/soaked in the rain @bertoni you have pics?
@Qinhan what do you recommend buddy Sir?
Definitely recommend using a good hanger for leather jackets too. Something strong with plenty of width to help distribute the weight.
Without having seen any photos, have you considered maybe applying a little of water to the spot and trying to gently massage out the lump? If necessary, you could also apply a little leather conditioner afterwards. I have no idea about applying heat so would probably avoid use of an iron. If it were me I'd probably just live with the imperfections but this might be worth a try.

I believe there are some selvage chinos coming out soon but I can't find the thread where they are mentioned. Does anybody know the ETA on them and what colors they will be?

Been waiting on these for awhile! Fingers crossed the measurements work out.

Mine are crossed too. The dropbox link says they are only going up to 36. That and the fact that they will be tapered might now bode well for me. I'm still excited to see how they turn out.

So… I saw a IH shirt on the ebay. Tempted by the lack of bidding activity and a few beers in, I placed a bid with out researching the model in particular.... It was western, my size and a new color, nuff said. It arrives, with tags called a IHSH 114, burgundy hairline. Looking on IH website and forum, I don't see the model anywhere. Was this some sort of knock off? It's a blend, which I find unusual but am not convinced it's a counterfeit. What is it?
