Repairs & Modifications

This is the final result of my UHF dye job.
I guess it matches my neck close enough.

@Filthy, dude! That came out pretty f’ing cool.

Thanks

@Filthy that came out really nice in the end, bravo dude

That looks very fucking cool indeed.
I died a few IH tshirts earlier in the year but the results were a bit patchy, so need to go in for round two.
Never thought of dying an IHF but must say that the results of yours look fabulous.

I think it's okay. I like it more than I did before.

Nice Mike and I’m glad you like it. I appreciate your drive to boil, dye, add patches to, etc. IH gear.
Thanks for giving us a… 101

You bet

Not content with what I had last night I used up the rest of the emerald citric acid dye I had and mixed it with the other dye. The acid dye I added had some what of a volatile exothermic reaction and fizzed up like I giant alkaseltzer.
Looks awesome though.

I like it a lot. I liked the previous version, too, though.

The hem was coming out of my 822… So I fixed it with my Speedy Stitcher. Not the cleanest job, but it is functional.

Looks good! As someone who does a lot of local repairs, having the right thread color is half the battle…

It's a little different because the thread I use is 100 percent Kevlar. Iron Heart is too tough for regular thread and the awl. It constantly breaks while you are sewing.

What’s the general advice on how soon to repair denim? Should I wait until this pair of jeans needs other repairs until I take them in? Or do I want to nip this hole in the bud? These are 3sixteen’s 14.5oz denim at about 100 wears/one soak for context.

For that since it's in an area that's gonna get a lot of wear, I'd get at it sooner before it gets bigger.

I will like to introduce you to “denim therapy” master tailor that not only does denim repair , modification but also master tailor for all other fabrics. Denim therapy shop is located in red bank , New Jersey.
I always struggle with Iron heart shirt length , and long sleeves . Majority of places afraid to touch any denim 14oz or more . Secondly , no denim place like to hem heavy denim shirts and heavy denim jacket.
I called so many places , I don’t want to name the names , but all places in California , Portland , Washington state . All well known denim repair places but nobody took my iron heart 14 Oz ID/BK denim shirt and denim jacket for hemming. Everyone refused. Very fortunately denim therapy took my denim shirt , hem and beautiful chain stitch using the special chain stitching machine .
Secondly , the tapering service is very difficult on 25oz. I took two 25oz denim and I can’t be happy with the work. Amazing !!!
Thirdly , Denim therapy shorten length of my 18oz denim jacket and sleeve perfectly. Everything chain stitch back to like new condition.
Lastly , they also repair denims and does a fantastic job.
I can’t recommend enough. If you needed to hem denim shirts , jackets and taper heavy denim go to denim therapy.

Just received this IHSH-300 from an international retailer. This constructional thread in the cuff is unraveling. Thinking it was a loose thread, I gave it a light tug and it began to unravel more. What's the best way to keep this from continuing? Snip at both ends?
@Chesson is a wizard with these things, but I’d consider getting in touch with the retailer.
