Hey Giles, will ironheart be involved in the "Denim Days" New York Festival?
Nope. Their interpretation of denim and style are a little different from ours…
Thanks. Was just wondering. I'm 50 miles from New York and was thinking about going. I read about it on heddels yesterday. No IH No Matty

I've heard the term 'Half western' on the forum, can someone explain the difference please.

Giles, i was looking at the IHF-SP and wondering if you would make something similar in the future? thanks
-
No plans. The nature of the forum and our customer base has changed. When we originally released the IHF-SP we sold out pretty quickly, I am fairly certain if I was to release today, I'd struggle to get rid of them….
right. i can understand that. thanks.

Just curious, what's the change in customer base?

Thanks for sharing @neph93 and yes please let me know how it turns out.
Picked up my shirt yesterday. It's the 165 double indigo herringbone work shirt. Despite being XL (my size) they came up pretty big. It was very blousy in the back, long, and a little wide in the shoulders. Seeing as it was an outlet purchase and (relatively) inexpensive I thought my seamstress could have a crack at it. She's taken in a wabash vest for me before and hems and repairs my denim.
Her initial suggestion was to take it in at the sides and do something to the back (Like a pleat maybe? She's Bosnian, I'm British and we're speaking Norwegian so I'm unsure of how to translate it). I felt that would be going a bit far, so we agreed she should take it in from the pits all the way down, giving it more of a fitted inswing than work shirts generally have and to make the back area smaller. The gusset was going to have to go but she would try to recreate the felled seam. As it turned out she couldn't as it was just too thick for her to deal with. It should be noted that she generally tailors mens suits and adjusts wedding dresses etc so she isn't a denim specialist.
It turned out pretty well. She does tidy work. It was expensive. She charges for her time and it was a long job. This is also Norway and wages are high, so savings made in the outlet got eaten up. Not that this was a big issue. I love this material and now have a shirt in it that fits. It is too expensive to be done regularly however, or with full price shirts. I'm also of the general opinion that Haraki-san's design shouldn't be fekked with and only get this kind of work done if the item won't be worn without it.
Here's her solution to the felled seam problem. Tidy, but ruins the nerdy aesthetic of the felled seams.
Here's the finish where the gusset used to be. I thought she solved that very well.
Here's the new silhouette.
I'll re-post this somewhere sensible so that it's more easily available…
