      1980s German moleskin pants used to be my favorite. They are so soft.

      Curious to know if US tariffs are going to affect when we buy from IHUK.

      I guess it says EU. But I don't know what status the UK is considered now.

            Am I the only one who is having a connection problem on selected threads on the forum?
            When I click onto General Chat, I get this https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=4.0
            When I click on News - The Flat Head - News, I can read it up to page three https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=12816.30, but when I try to click page 4, I get this again https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=12816.45.
            The page says:    You have caught us with our pants down.  Bear with us while we tinker this site.
            Not sure why, perhaps it has something to do with my computer.  I am using Google Chrome.  Thougths and remedies?

            Update:  Everything seems to be working fine now.

                  Probably a day late with an answer but Service is another cool shop - I bought quite a few pieces from there back in the day

                    Has anyone had their IH shirt "hemmed?" My wabash is is great but rather long. I wanted to see if it was possible to take it in.

                          I finally found someone selling a second hand IHSH-193 and I've been looking for it in size small for a long while…

                          It's in size M with the following measurements:

                          Shoulder width: 45cm
                          Chest width: 54cm
                          Legth from back: 75cm
                          Sleeve length: 65cm

                          I want to get 3cm shrinkage on all of those measurements. Is it possible to achieve that with a tumble dryer? I would periodically check to not over-shrink it. I would never do this to any of my other shirts but the IHSH-193 is an absolute favourite of mine so...

                            Highly doubtful. They are once washed to remove shrinkage, and that will be an industrial wash. A full 90C wash followed by a tumble dry  may give you something, but it won’t be 3cm on all dims, and you risk damaging the fabric giving it that kind of treatment.

                              Ah, damn it… Thanks for the reply @neph93, I'll pass on purchasing it then.

                              Once again - RIP dreams of IHSH-193 😞

                                If it's just 3 cm too big, I'm sure it would still look good on you. I don't think most people would be able to tell the difference between a shirt that's three centimeters too big.

                                  Thanks for the feedback. I don't mind what people think about me in that regard. It's actually due to the fact that I'm a short guy. I don't feel comfortable wearing something slightly larger than what I usually wear. That's why I'm quite pedantic when it comes to the measurements.

                                  If the shirt were large on just one area, I'd perhaps give it a thought on having it professionally altered. However unfortunately it's all of the areas.

                                    Hey, I know that all too well. I recently bought a leather jacket that was a little too large. Everyone does not see that's it's about an inch too big in the chest except me.  😢

                                      @doguhanca What if you wore a mid to heavy thermal or cotton henley,or some kind of bulkier layer underneath. My drier which I’ve nicknamed The Shrinkmaster 2000, shrinks just about everything no matter what has been done to it previously. Although I’ve never documented my results.

                                        Sorry for the belated reply and thanks for your feedback. I usually size my UHFs in a way that I can wear a T-Shirt and a wool pullover underneath. Even if I were to wear just a T-Shirt underneath my UHFs, they still wouldn't look oversized. I think this one on the other hand would look too large on me given the 3cm addition in all of the mentioned areas. The shirt was sold to someone else but I think I did the right thing by not purchasing it and saving my money for one of the upcoming western UHFs 🙂

                                            It’s been noticed. The way it works for me is that this only happens when I upload more than one image at a time. If you do one at a time you get to choose full images (although these are still automatically compressed by forum software).

                                            The alternative is switching to the desktop forum while in Tapatalk. Effective but bothersome.
