                      Have been into IH for the last couple of years.  Live in Scotland but originally from NE England.

                      Read the forum often but have never got round to introducing myself or posting anything. I have determined this is going to change.

                      Although this is perhaps the wrong place to post this, I have a random question which I have yet to find out the answer to:

                      'What is the best method of getting rid of indigo transfer onto the leather patch?'

                      Sorry if there is an answer to this elsewhere but I have yet to find it!

                          @Crispy Heron yes, welcome. Good to have you here.

                          You'll struggle to get it all out. Saddle soap would work well to remove most of it, but saddle soap will create its own effect on the leather which may not be desirable.

                          I agree with @Giles oiling it will take away some of the colour while not removing the dye. It will also accelerate the process of the patina forming which is what will eventually render the indigo on veg tan contrast invisible.

                            Thanks for the kind welcome and the quick response.

                            Off to buy some saddle soap…

                              Oh yeah, sorry.  I read "stopping it", not "getting rid of it". If it's there already, you'll have a problem getting rid of it completely.  Oiling from day 1, will lessen the tendency for any transfer to happen….

                                Although I've been aware of IH for quite a while, I didn't really 'get' it until I tried on one of the IHSH-246 at Self Edge in SF a few months ago. Now got a second shirt on the way…

                                      Gotta put in the work even if you are sweating buckets…

                                      Fortunately, it's pretty mild where I live so I can wear it even in August.

                                        I've been alternating between a busted pair of old Edwin jeans, my IH double knee overalls, or my 25oz XHS.  This has been the summer of sweating in Annapolis  😃

                                          What’s this boyfriend style Jean I hear so much about? She had better be very sneaky or exceedingly quick or both.

                                            Hello Giles,

                                            “Uncle Lenny” here. I’m living in Virginia Beach and the size 44W 25oz 777-XHSib are an almost perfect fit for now. There is plenty of room in the waist, more than enough in the hips and rear. These will be the pants I’ll be able to drive the 5 and a 1/2 hours to Jersey in (New Jersey, U.S. not Old Jersey U.K.) and move furniture in, do construction, climb ladders and telephone poles in. I’ll name these my Winter pair, or “Fat Lenny” pair. Once I walk into the ocean for about an hour or so they’ll be perfect. Of course I’ll have to walk around in the sun for about 6-10 hours until they’re dry but it’ll be fun. I have a pair of 40W 25oz IH-634-XHS in size 40 from 2015 that I broke in just right and I can still squeeze into. The key word is squeeze. The fit is tight in the waist and hips but I can still button them all the way up. I may not be able to sit or drive for a long period of time in them but I can stand and walk around in themjust fine. They’ll be my Fall/Autumn pair for when I start putting on weight. I’ll call them my Model Lenny pair since I’ll only be able to stand up straight and pose in them. The size 40W 25oz IH-666-XHS are a lost cause this year but ten pounds from now I should be back in them by next summer. The fit on me is very tight in the waist and hips and I can’t button the top two buttons anymore. Damn you Covid-19!!! You made me fat during lockdown. Anyway, The Skinny Twin! That’s what I’ll call them! That’s how you’ll be able to tell the difference between my twin brother and myself. (Thank goodness he can’t fit into any of my jeans. Haha, I win.) I need one more pair to round out my seasons and then I’ll be good. The pair I have my eye on are the 25oz IH-888-XHSib. The only thing I’m not sure of in the fit. Are they as relaxed as the triple 7’s? If so I would need a 42 when the come back in stock. It will be the Spring pair. (Spring Chicken Lenny?) I’ll have to work on a better name for those. You have until March 20th, 2022, the first day of Spring to get them back in stock or I’ll have to starve myself. I want to thank you again for the jeans and all the work you guys are doing. I never thought wearing clothes could be exciting and such a joyful experience for me again.

                                            The Bigger the Better,
                                            The Heavier the Better,
                                            After all,
                                            The world is a pretty rough place…
