      I now pre-soak everything made of heavy material or indigo dyed before I chuck them in the machine. It’s important because it prevents sharp creases forming in the fabric which happens quickly if you stuff them in machine dry. I use the shower head and soak the outside then flip them and repeat.

        I had perfect luck washing my 8301 by soaking them for 30 minutes in the tub, putting them in a pre-filled/sudsy washing machine, and even spun them dry. No marks whatso ever. The soak is the key.

          Was checking the Corlection site and was mildly irritated that their measurements are done slightly different than IH. I wished there was a universal system of measuring clothing to avoid confusion. It's not rocket science so I don't get why thigh measurements, as an example, are measured at the crotch, 1" down and 2" down for different companies?

            We measure the way the Japanese do…....For us, any other way of measuring is a potential cause of confusion when we spec clothing....

              I just wished every company measured the IH way because I know my measurements is what i'm getting it.

                    Sounds shitty, I’m sorry for you. Conflict, closure or corporate cøcks?

                          @Megatron1505  Could this be one of those reverse psychology testing the loyalty to the company jobs?  Seeing who will step up, take the shit job, and then get promoted two rungs up the ladder.  Did you approach management and discuss your concerns?

                          Just don’t act out of haste!  Companies hate losing good employees and half of the time they don’t know they have upset their good people, because they are focused on the poor ones.

                            @goosehd unfortunately not, i’ve been here for 20 years and the company isn’t that clever or subtle.

                                  Ok, I get that it's January, and that means everyone has resolved to lose weight.  So I've accepted that my email will be infested with healthy tips.  But an easy way to cut calories is not, I repeat, NOT to substitute baked kale for potato chips.  That's an easy way to get a bitch stabbed.

                                  Who, in their right mind, thinks, "yeah, kale!  That's just like potato chips!"?

                                  No one. Ever. The answer is no one in the history of the entire world has ever, or will ever, think that.  Why would anyone even suggest that?  Were you not hugged enough as a child?

                                    I've eaten baked kale chips (Blame my wife…..), but not under the ridiculous ruse that they can "replace potato chips".
