      @Ivan is pretty small and @Adam is not massive - more shots of them will be appearing, but it is a big big job to go and retro…

      Yes, and it would be asking for too much. I would be happy if the numbers next to each person's vitals also mentioned the sleeve length that fits them perfectly.

      On a different note, wouldn't short sleeve shirts fit a larger group of people?

        [Can I do this in a country like India with its heat and humidity? Thanks

        I know India is more humid that Okinawa, Japan (Which is pretty damn humid, might I add), so outside of sealing them in air-tight containers, I don't see any way possible.

        I literally lost 10-20% of my wardrobe once in Okinawa, because I traveled for work for 30 days… When I got back home, a much of my stuff was mildewed and moldy. Basically, anything that was "dark colored", including leather shoes/boots.

        Terrible experience.](https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1)

          On a different note, wouldn't short sleeve shirts fit a larger group of people?

          We went through this convo about 2-3 years ago, after a batch of UHF's Sewed up with shorter sleeves. Some people REALLY liked them, but the general consensus was that it's far better to sew shirts with longer (Standard) sleeve lengths, that to make them shorter. That way, if a person has shorter arms, they can do a warm or hot wash to shrink them down. But, if on the other hand shirts were sewn with shorter sleeve, there would be many people who are left out from buying shirts at all, because there is no way to "stretch" the sleeve length.

          Not to mention, Iron Heart is a "functional motorcycle clothing" brand. One reason the sleeves are longer, is because when riding a bike, the riders arms are stretched out front, which causes the sleeves to ride up the arms. Longer sleeves prevents that from happening, or makes it less drastic.

          So, "long story short" (Get it? LMAO!), longer sleeve lengths is the best solution for all parties.

              Is there any interest in starting a thread where forum members can show where they put their IH stickers?
              For example

                        Not really a question more an observation…...I like the tab on the front page... 'Discover the outfit' but when I clicked it I expected to see a bigger picture of Sam in his outfit and then then breakdown of what he was wearing.

                                    Are all IH jeans chainstitched on a Union Special in the workshops where they're being produced or only if hemmed at IHUK? The original hem is slightly different than the one after hemming.

                                        I don't know the answer, but an easy give away is if the hem pulls slightly tight leading to more pronounced roping, this is a "fault" of the union special.

                                        I know many Japanese sewing houses use a mix between American machines (Union Specials) and the Japanese version, the Kansai Special.

                                          To further muddy the waters the Kansai can be frigged to replicate the fault of the Union.
