        @Matty123:

        Hey guys, my mom just told me she recently sent me a voucher from IH. She bought it yesterday(Friday). She asked me just now if I received it and I have not. Checked my junk mail as well. Thanks guys

        Email sent:

        Matty

        Sorry. The email/order arrived at about the time we close on a Friday night. The vouchers are not autogenerated, so relies on a human being intervening, and we typically don't process orders over the weekend. The webpage is not as clear as it should be. We will change the wording on the site and look at getting a fully automated system.

        Paula will sort you out a voucher today.

        Sorry for yours and your mothers' stress.

        Giles

        Thanks Giles. No stress really. You guys are the best.

        Maybe so. Maybe not

          Great answer!! Would've never guessed the rationale behind it. I was stuck thinking about a motorcycle type reason.

            Genius, my IHSH-132 as the Top Snap and probably took hundreds of my beloved beard hairs from me, when I had Chest Length that drove me Nuts  😃

              I'll try the same question in this thread…

              Can anyone comment on how much stretch can be expected at the waist on the IH-719 - White 10.5oz Herringbone Cargo Pants?

              Thanks!

                I have updated the product:

                Sanforized and one-washed, so expect little or no shrinkage. The waist will stretch approximately one inch with wear. All other dimensions that are put under pressure will have a tendency to stretch proportionately to the stretch in the waist

                  Has probably been asked before but why does the UHF shirts have a top button and not a snap?

                  … and as a recent chat with the JP crew uncovered, no cold metal (back side of the snap) is touching your neck skin in winter / cold weather...

                    I thought it was because the UHF gets so thick around the collar, that it wasn't possible to get the snaps pressed through?

                      Like many here, I have IH jeans that don't fit me anymore. Can a tailor repurpose it to create something else? Like use the fabric to stitch it into something else?

                      Also, what is the best thing you can do when there is nobody to buy or wear your jeans?

                        You could make tote/shoulder bags out of them, (loads of vids on youtube) fun to do but you need a hd sewing machine for denim. I did make one from a pair of wrangler realtree camo cargo pants that is still in use after a couple of years. The pockets make good outside storage on the bag.
                        IH eco/recovery denim totes….....now theres a thing  🙂

                          Well, I think the fabric is too good to be made into a Tote bag.

                          Say you have a pair of jeans that has become small in the thighs..Now, can't you undo the stitching, add a fabric of the same kind, and increase the room in the thighs? I know it will look very odd, but if boro patchwork can look cool, so can this, right?

                          Also, I would rather attempt making a Tote bag out of some cheaper fabric. Where did you get your sewing machine from?

                              Mnaaa… depends what you mean. The surface of the denim has a different feel to it after OD-ing. It's feel sort of dry, maybe a little less soft. But the suppleness of the fabric, how in folds and creases, that is the same.

                                Thanks @neph93 that answers my question. The surface feel  of the fabric is one of the things I like most about the flagship.

                                Maybe so. Maybe not

                                  It definitely changes the fabric some. It becomes something in it’s own right, if you feel me. I have the IH-526J-od and love it.

                                        Looks like a well evolved IH-555-02 from the other pics.
