      Bought a couple of liberty cuffs ages ago that I planned to put on my IHW-01 but never got round to it. I recently acquired a MFSC Drover Blouse in Denim and this jacket seemed like the perfect home for the liberty cuffs . . .

        That’s so cool! Perfect garment for those cuffs, well paired @den1mhead . 👍🏼👍🏼

        If I ever get to meet you at some IH event, I sure hope you’ll be wearing it so I get to personally see it.

        ☝🏼Name fixed!

        The journey is the objective.

            Looks sharp @den1mhead.  😎

                I'd like to offer a shout out to Railcar Fine Goods.  I have a good problem: I have lost a ton of weight and despite age and gravity, I'm back (mostly).  That said, my IHs have been worn to daily perfection–-softer, fades, good things---but are now far too big.  I've bought a few new pair because I can't live without 634s.  I also just received a pair downsized by Railcar.  No diaper butt, proper waist, I really couldn't be happier.  They did a great job.

                  I have this old shirt that I bought second hand from a member here about 7 or 8 years ago, so I don't even know which model it is, but it was looking pretty badly faded and needed some help. Yesterday I mixed up my natural indigo dye and breathed new life into the shirt. Good as new!

                    Nice one, @seawolf.  I think I have the same denim in a western and was thinking of selling it.  Now I'm going to look into doing the same.

                      I used  this kit https://amzn.to/2MZAlqd and it was great. Really great instructions and just an overall pleasant experience.

                        Can't see that on amazon uk, but I did find http://www.wildcolours.co.uk/html/indigo.html.  It seems far too complicated, though.  I looked at their red dye and that was even more involved.

                          Yeah, it's a little more involved than a box of powdered Rit dye, but it was fun and definitely worth the effort.

                              It's like a brand new shirt! You totally should. The kit I used comes with a bandana too, but I tried some tie-dye pattern, and it didn't come out spectacularly  😃

                                          Thanks Alex, sending to IH was originally my plan, then I thought that if there was a reliable place nearby and not too expensive, I might be quicker doing a drop off - pick up thing.

                                            That’s an IHSH-26 and it’s a great shirt. I’ve had my OD version for almost 10 years now and besides the fading it looks new. Great dye job, that’s a rare shirt that deserves some wear!
