-
Now the focus on the jacket back again 8).
This picture of @BULLITT BEE convinced me, that this beautiful IHJ has wonderful seams….
I tuck the end of the arms inside, at the moment.

Curious how often strangers over here, react to this Button @steelworker

My local tailor, Mr Boateng from Ghana has done a 3 minute repair on my IHJ-24!
(Lose Zipper on the bottom. Missing a double action Zipper here.)We had a 30 minute chat about this jacket (he definitely liked) and about IH.
“Thick thick and well well made!” - His essential sentence in the end.In between Mr. Boateng had his favorite Internet Music Channel on and there was beautiful live music from Africa on Air!!!!!
The best 30IH minutes of my day.

Thanks @Flannel
In the end he modified the presser foot of the sewing machine and changed to a thicker thread.
Sewing the two stop seams took only seconds.
Not a big job.
But his elaborate gesture, taking down the jacket from the machine and cutting the thread with his other hand (leaving 12 inch on the jacket), could lead the trained eye to imagine, someone had fun this day. -
Bought this from @neph93 , because I Love this IH17oz Indigo Selvedge Denim …(can you here me Ben?) ……………,,.,,……………..,……………….,..,,,,,,,……….,,……. and First Zips!
IH has done some beautiful First Zips in other fabrics like Duck (I unlucky don’t own)….. but this unusual 17oz Denim is absolutely beatiful.
Shure @Ben is an expert in here!Definitely not an expert
Looks a cool jacket though, great pockets! -
Today
Found this old picture on Who Skates in the forum and thought it belongs in here.
Jacket looks different today and as spring arrived, the HIJ-24 is luckily used again …
