IHSH-21-BLU - 10oz Selvedge Chambray Work Shirt - Blue
-
I've been wearing mine hard for longer than that and it still perfect, thats some serious wear right there.
If you ask Giles he might be able to pick you up a scrap of the chambray material whilst in Japan, you could then patch it over the top. I've got a vintage chambray patched like that, it looks quite nice in a work wear kind of way.

+1. What did you do to get this? I wear a dress shirt and sit in front of a computer all day. My shirts occasionally get blow out like this. Of course, fabric will wear thin/out over time, but I would have never thought it could happen so quickly. You must have done some serious damage

That's the thing - I don't do shit. I have a regular old desk job. For the most part I think it's funny that I wear Iron Heart at all since I hardly do anything rugged.

Want me to pick up a bit for repairing? At the shirt making factory tomorrow. I may of course be iin a swoon, my brain AWOL and not firing on all 4, so I may forget…....................
If you could that would be great. Thanks.

Geo, how do you do this?? I like to repair things myself. I have never had good luck with buttons.

Sorry to say 3 buttons hanging off my new shirt after only 2 days - I think there is to much tension in the thread, one of the reinforcers is cracked.
No biggie for me - I tend to cut buttons off and re-sew using a threaded shank . . . good for heavier materials

Sorry for the delay TinMan - work had strangled me
It's pretty easy if you can do the basics of sewing but check this link:

Where they use a pin for the spacer I use a matchstick - it makes for a bigger shank, which I prefer for heavy fabrics
Let me know if this makes sense . . .

Geo,
I need to redo a couple buttons on my 21, I am going to sew them back with a shank I will use a toothpick or matchstick for my spacer….. What did you do about the backing button, did you reuse or get rid of it. I think I might get rid of it what do you think? I find the buttons easier to sew on without the backing button.@Geo:
