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.

I didn't take any, but happily, Rain did-
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.
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.

Awesome. Rain does great work and I'm kind of bias because I think she is gorgeous too.
-
She like pins, so she's been sending out random ones with orders lately. Just a quirky fun thing she does. I got this one with my order

Needed to fix the crotch on my 555-01.
It was my first repair ever. I‘m pretty happy with the result.
