Repairs & Modifications
-
Hello, old friend…
-
I didn't take any, but happily, Rain did-
https://www.instagram.com/p/BYtpwIuBo8P/There really wasn't much to be done; there was a hole by the right pocket, and another above the left knee, the hems were fraying a bit, and there were a couple of weak spots here and there. Naturally, she repaired more than I even realized needed it, because she's a damn master.

So I’m really fecking pissed at myself. I was in not being careful and in getting my fecking fat head through the neck hole of my brand new IHSW 23, I managed to get a rip down the middle.
I am assuming this is repairable, but I have no experience with swear shirt material.
Anybody have any suggestions or feedback of who I can send this to?

Shit, that sucks, you have my sympathies. Should be an easy fix for any half decent seamstress/tailor though. Just trim the edges and join.

@neph93 you can cross post your modification here. you're welcome.

Thanks for the idea Reuben…you are a freaking genius!
Not sure about that… can’t even spell check my posts.
While I’m on it, you could see if IHUK have a swatch of the ihsw-23 fabric. It’s a long shot, but you never know.

Damn, that was how I imagined repairs in japan to be done, instead of the Hitler beard on the knee of my loombreaker (no offence against Giles or the IH Japan crew, who shipped my LB around the globe twice for free).

I'm not sure where to post this so I'll do it here.
A few drops tea tree oil (about a 1/2 teaspoon) and about 1 oz of 91% isopropyl makes a great deodorizer on the sweatbands of hats and armpits of shirts you're trying not to wash for a long time. The tea tree oil smell dissipates after 2 to 3 days and the ripe smell is gone. The inside of my hat is back to smelling like foam rubber again, no washing required. It's cold here so I put it over the furnace register to dry it out quick.
I just rub it on with my fingers or you could get a small nail/fingertip spray bottle from a beauty supply place or some kind of cotton swab would work great as an applicator.

Just got my 888NT back from Indigo proof. She did a great job and the service was unreal. 30 dollars for the chainstitch and 2 day shipping both ways from CT to Oregon! That’s unbeatable. They sent me back a handwritten thank you not, an indigo proof sticker and a “Stranger Things” Pin. I don’t know why the pin but it was a cool touch. Thanks @Filthy 21/23oz junkie for the high recommendation.
