There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question
-
So I just ordered some custom whites. Lace-up bounty hunters from Baker’s….I went with an 8” model. I traditionally go with a 7” but decided to try 8”.
As I look through pics of 8” boots I am wondering if I went too tall....any thoughts/experience with 8” boots?
All mine are 8" and up @Dstauffer as @Neph93 says ankle support is good and to me, anyway, 7" is betwixt and between. And I think 8" and up look better

Maybe your misinformed friend is confusing Iron Heart with Mr. Freedom? Sugarcane works with them kinda regularly.
Mr. Freedom and Iron Heart have a very similar aesthetic, so I can see how one could confuse the two brands (read that in the most sarcastic tone of voice possible).
I have a Mr Freedom Metis that sheds buttons when I'm not looking. ??? IH buttons haven't been a problem. Yet.

What is best way to remove tuft feom IH flannels etc? There’s not much of it, atleast yet.
My girlfriend bought ”sweater stone” which should be better than tuft remover -machine, but I think that both just cuts off tuft from fiber so it will be worster later.
Here’s some advice for using a machine. https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=833.msg524982#msg524982
Whatever you do you’re removing fabric from the shirt. Personally I don’t see the need and have never done it with mine. A little pilling is just part of the aging process. Wabi-sabi and all that.

Thanks for the good answer

Are there any differences between the original 127 and the V2? Is it possible to identify which is which? I bought a green 127 on eBay a few years back and I don’t know which it is.

Thanks bud

@Matty123 In fact I own both green 127 and 127-V2. the V2 has indeed way longer arms, but the fabric Looks 100% identical. This wasn't the case on the 72 and 127, though. Keep in mind that the arms of a V2 might have shrunken if it has been washed hot.

Thanks max, yeah there’s prob no way for me to tell. The shirt has been in my possession for 2.5 years ( didn’t fit me until now) and it was a few years old when the person sold it on eBay. It’s a xxxl with a sun faded sleeve sold from the LA area. Ring any bells for anyone on here??
-
Based on the fact you bought it in 2014-2015 and it was already a few years old, my guess is that is was a IHSH-72, not a 127.

Thanks bud. It’s my favorite shirt.

The IHSH-72 is an awesome shirt for sure. I would kill for a green 72 in an XL. I had a 109 that was my favorite, but alas… I also like beer and out grew it haha [emoji23]

@Max Power @Appfaff in your opinion, what are the differences between 72 and 127?
-
I seem to remember Max and I were opposites - he preferred the 127 where as I prefer the 72
No real reason aside from the way i was drawn to the shade of green and the way all the patterns matched up on the sizes I’ve seen
I loved my 127 green, but the fit was never “perfect” for me.
@DrBabyHorse - you know I am weak, don’t tempt me…

@moto the green 72 has a lighter green and shorter arms. Theyre not far from each other but i preferred the measurements of the 127 while the colour on the 72 was nicer imo

Love the comparison between 72 X 127!
72 is right underneath.
