So I have a IHSH-76 and a recently bought IHSH-75. I'm questioning the need for two denim shirts. What about overdying the 76 ala the IHSH-99. So what are the ins and outs of doing this at home. I remember doing this with denim when I was a younger lad, but from memory they fade quite quickly. What's the difference in doing this at home against it being done commercially? Can you send clothes out to have it done commercially? Or is it all the same just more dye and hotter/ longer time in the dye?

Maybe this post is in the wrong place, excuse me if it belongs elsewhere!

IMHO, over the counter dye kits do not generally last well and I wouldn't use them on such a nice/ expensive item unless I had to (like Seul and the ink shirt).

Unless you're experienced in the process, and can lay hands on a suitable dye and the apparatus/ space to do it right I wouldn't advise it.

Thanks Megatron, what do think about some of the professional services available. Eg. http://www.prestigedyers.co.uk/site/pages/generalservices/overview.html or

@Giles do Ironheart UK outsource this work locally or do the overdyed items come from Japan this way?

It is always done in Kojima.  It is done on an industrial scale and to get the depth of overdye, is a very intensive process, hence the damage on the last batch of IHSH-99.  That is not to say it can't be done and I am looking into possibly doing it at our new premises, but the end result wil be completely different.

Thanks Giles, I'll keep an eye out for that..

Apologies if this has been asked before:  Is there any particular reason why the inseams on IH Jeans are overlocked rather than felled?  I can see it either being not possible or perhaps even looking funny to have the inseam felled on the heavier denim but was wondering if this is the case on the "lighter" denim lots as well?

Thanks.

I've never asked H, I suspect it's just his preference…..

Am I missing something?  I am cooking marinated pork loin tonight, the recipe calls for kosher salt…..

How come the prices on the website aren't showing up in USD for me anymore?  Can't figure out how to change it back.

Unless you have a major glitch, clicking on the currency symbol of your choice, will default your view to that currency until you click on different currency:

Thanks Giles. I looked all over and it was right in front of my eyes….

Can anyone recommend a good brand that has a nice Red or green chambray LS shirt that is somewhat comparable to the 13?  I've seen the FH one which is nice and I am sure close to the quality of the IH-13 but, not overly crazy about how FH cuts there front pockets. I know I won't be able to find exactly the style or quality chambray of the 13 but something close would be awesome…thanks!
