Anybody pimped this with brass snaps yet?
Planning to change to brass cymbal snaps on this and I wonder how it may look like…

That would look great. I would like to put some brass snaps on the black 33 but they appear to be out of stock.

I read on another thread that @Giles is having trouble getting the brass snaps and they may have to go Extinct [emoji3525]

@neph93 holy crap. Are you serious?

[Chris]

I saw that, too. Can't remember where, though.

Yep…..

[jay-cy]

why does the bottom hem always roll up on these (and almost all other IHSHs)?

The stitch used for the hem creates that effect, I believe.

[Giles]

Neph, I think you may be right.  I've asked H again, because if I've been told, I've forgotten…..

[jay-cy]

Hmm… I have the same sort of stitching on other HD-shirts and the hem remains flat...
The „roll“ also extends the stitching and goes further up beyond the stitiching area...
Maybe the fibres get stretched in the stitching process and this causes them shrinking back and, thus, rolling up?

[Giles]

It may look the same, but the needle and/or bobbin tensions could be very different.  I'm sure there is an explanation, but I'm going to wait for H to get back to me….

I’ll chime in and say that happens on my Momotaro work shirt that is heavy weight as well. I just figured it is a function of the weight, besides it exposes some roping details that I like, so doesn’t bother me.

[neph93]

It is definitely more pronounced in the heavier shirts, but it happens on my 5oz chambray ISH-119 too. This is why I believe it is the stitching style. I think @Chris has explained it on here before, many moons ago.

[Chris]

I thought it was due to the twill weave, since I've only seen it happen on wabash and denim shirts, but that can't be right if it's occurring on your chambray shirts, too.

[jay-cy]

Found a more general explanation in the web:

„ Roping is indicative of uneven feeding into the folder or even if the hem is turned by hand. If the hemmed edge is round rather than straight, roping is more common because the bottom of the hem edge is actually wider (longer) at the hem fold line than at the stitch line, causing the hem to flip up.“

Don‘t know if this applies to the IH manufacturing process but sounds sound to me…

It isn’t quite the same on the chambray. Less pronounced and happens at the seam rather than starting above it. That could be the difference twill makes.
