    We can get it fixed in Japan FOC but will take 4-6 weeks…

      Thanks, that's a generous offer, but the jeans are well worn, I will see what I can DIY over my Christmas break.

          Anyone have experience or ever soaked their IH denim in bleach/water to lighten them up?

              that doesn't sound a good idea

                  @Untucked bleached a IHSH-33 once. But he bleached it totally. It ended up a very cool off-white. But that was mad scientist stuff.

                  I’d say bleaching to lighten is a very risky business in terms of achieving the effect you want. Why you’d want that is another matter. If you want a washed denim then you could just find a pair of LVC’s with the prefered colour.

                    Thanks, @neph93.  I'm feeling the mad scientist vibe (like @UnTucked) but also hesitant in case it turns out uneven, splotchy, or cause tears/holes. But I do have an old pair of 633s that I'm considering as the guinea pig to test it out. However, I'm just deciding if it's even worth my time and effort in doing so.

                          Speaking of sending to Japan. Would it be at all possible to send in my IH-526V-XHS to get bronze buttons added to it? I'm thinking I'd leave the top 2 as snaps and have the rest replaced as buttons, even the side gathers. My mom has an old singer she has used to sew awnings before that had a button hole maker. Or I could pay to have this done. What do you think?

                          Edit: I'd leave the pocket snaps too.

                            The issue is that the snaps are likely to have caused sufficient damage to the material, that once removed, buttons can't be added.  The reason we did not make them with tack buttons is that they were virtually impossible to do up.

                              i think The Lowdown on Denim aka Iron Heart Vienna once bleached or heavy washed some Iron heart jeans by a Italian company. There were some pics on facebook/instagram but that's from some years ago… Saw the pants in his store, washings were made pretty good and jeans still felt heavy - but i was not keen.

                              When my time comes I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn’t like me can kiss my ass.

                                yeah, we tried it once but it didn´t meet our expectations  ::)
                                in the end you need to wear it and the outcome will be fine 😉

                                  It’s about time work shirts got some of that Good Art pimp-loving… new button on the pocket of my IHSH-131.

                                    Definitely a lovely touch. Is this available for pimpage? If not, it needs to be! 🤩🤩🤩

                                      I can get pimpage buttons, will place an order today…...I pimped my @Kurt-faith jacket a couple of days ago…..

                                      They are the same design as @neph93 's, but sewn on to show a different face…

                                        Those are lovely. What’s the cost per button? They come in sets?

                                        Maybe so. Maybe not

                                          Not sure of price atm.  There are at least 2 sizes, I've just ordered a whack of every size josh makes….We'll sell them individually...
