It’s abrasion and water, and to a lesser extend sunlight.
No problem in a closet, whether they‘re folded or hanged.

My Beatle Busters have been either folded on a shelf or hanging in a closet for almost 11 years now.  No fades from storage, just from wearing.

Could someone enlighten me on the difference between the Wesco MP Toe and the Western Toe? They look identical to me on the Wesco site. I’m assuming the western toe is a little more pointy but hard for me to tell from the website. Maybe I can see that the MP is a little more rounded?

I went down a forum rabbit hole after looking up tshirts I purchased on here that are from 10 or so years ago. I saw and (have seen while reading elsewhere on here) references to the Stubborn Crew. Can someone explain to me what this is or was? And how they got that name? Is it the IH crew? Curious…

[Jett129]

It’s absolutely 100% the IH Crew. Sorry I can’t tell you when or how it started.

[Giles]

The Stubborn Crew is us - sometimes we use/used it to refer to UK, sometimes to UK and Japan.  When Paula and I were spitballing descriptors for Iron Heart back in 2006/7 (I wanted something a bit more inventive than "Extra Heavy") we came up with "Stubborn", I suspect there are references to Stubborn Denim all over the place, it thus became a natural extension of that to call us the Stubborn Crew (even though it was effectively just me at the time)…..

side question: are there any openings in the stubborn crew?

side side question: are there any openings in Nashville, TN?

I am quite stubborn and have loads of skills.

I wish there were an IH store or vendor in Nashville!

I’m sorry @chrisjohnnick but once I convince Katie expatriate and move to the UK I’ll be weaseling applying for the next available position. The seed was slyly planted in Gosport and I’ve been lovingly tending to it daily.

How much can I get a houseboat in Portsmouth for?

[mikebarhoot]

Based on that Giles…Ive misused the term from the get go. I always understood it to mean ‘one who endures the stubbornness of the denim’ and have reference it many times when someone has posted they got their 1st pr.

Oh well… sail evē. [emoji23]

[goosehd]

@mikebarhoot I have always thought the same as you…

[popvulture]

@Matt have you seen those narrowboats? Doesn't seem like a bad plan, roaming the canals with the pensioners.

[Matt]

I’m actually scrolling through listings as I type this…

[popvulture]

I think a big downside to British boat life is that it's cold as nads. Not sure I could take it, haha… seems charming on many levels, though.

Does it matter? It's like the W or M on the right rear pocket, use it like you want to…...

[mikebarhoot]
