If you could that would be great.  Thanks.

Geo, how do you do this?? I like to repair things myself.  I have never had good luck with buttons.

Sorry to say 3 buttons hanging off my new shirt after only 2 days - I think there is to much tension in the thread, one of the reinforcers is cracked.

No biggie for me - I tend to cut buttons off and re-sew using a threaded shank . . . good for heavier materials

Sorry for the delay TinMan - work had strangled me

It's pretty easy if you can do the basics of sewing but check this link:

Where they use a pin for the spacer I use a matchstick - it makes for a bigger shank, which I prefer for heavy fabrics

Let me know if this makes sense . . .

just ordered one of these from DC4(i would have ordered from you giles but you didnt have size large :-[) never had a chambray shirt before so im really stoked about this one…

Hey, what's the difference between the IHSH-21 and the older IHSH-09?

Is the fit the same? The look? I have been offered the 09, but have only tried on 21.

thanks for the help!

[SepticSef]

the IHSH-09 is a western style shirt with snaps while the IHSH-21 is a work shirt with buttons.

Geo,
I need to redo a couple buttons on my 21, I am going to sew them back with a shank I will use a toothpick or matchstick for my spacer…..  What did you do about the backing button, did you reuse or get rid of it.  I think I might get rid of it what do you think?  I find the buttons easier to sew on without the backing button.

I put the backing buttons on, but not for any particular reason other than they were there originally

If you don't sew the button too tightly then I don't think there would a problem leaving the button stays off

Hi Giles

Any idea when we can expect a restock of these? Looking for XL.

End of the month or early April….G

Just got one of these beauties through. Amazing cut and fabric. I was just wondering how they evolve over time. Are they like normal denim shirts or jeans ie; fade with washing? Thanks in advance for your pearls of wisdom

This is really hard.

[jacoavlu]

this shirt is on the must-have list, along with a heavy flannel and a denim shirt

all seasons covered

Finally pulled the trigger on one of these Sized down to XL from my regular XXL in Iron Heart as the measurements indicate this one is slightly more generously sized than IHSH-22 and 32.

NYC is overrated in the summer.  The 21 is much more entertaining. The humidity especially sucks,  no good for IH… Nevermind the fact I sport Superblacks and a the 25 in July.

Buy away.
