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?

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

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? -
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.

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.

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.

Took some quick photos this morning as I was getting ready for the day:
IHSH-62-IND:
IHSH-33-IND
IHSH-64 (Jersey knit)
IHSH-119 (5oz chambray)
IHSH-118 (5oz chambray)
IHSH-662-WHI
IHSH-178 (overdyed 18oz denim)
Shirts that do not have the turn-up include my flannels, (both UHF’s, IHSH-179 and 10oz flannels), and my wool mix IHSH-163’s.
Some shirts have the turn up at the back but not at the front (IHSH-165). Some that have the turn up also have heavy, 3D roping around the hem, but not all.
Based on this weight is not a factor, nor is twill alone affected. The stitch seems decisive, but fabric type may still play a role. How much of a role the tension of the stitch plays, is difficult to assess, but may explain the heavy 3D roping on some shirts but not others.
Thank you for letting me indulge my nerdiness [emoji1]
