There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

@dummykid:

I hope this question is not stupid, is there a design reason beind that oiled M65 jacket has smaller chest size than the sateen M65?

Every run is slightly different even in the same fabric. Different fabrics will behave differently when it is being cut and sewn. AFAIK

Yep,  different fabrics behave differently when we sew them up.

All UHF's have slightly different sizing, because even different colour dyes in the same yarn cause the finished fabric to behave differently.

Selvedge denim is woven in 50-meter rolls, the denim at one end of the roll can be different from the other end of the roll, so much so, that we have to cut a garment from the same area of the roll, otherwise you will notice a visible and possibly textural difference in the pieces when the denim is sewn together.

Hi all - probably stupid question here. Even when logged in I can’t see the marketplace forum, including the comments I’ve previously made on posts there. Anyone have any ideas?

The marketplace is locked until you reach 20 posts.  There is a long thread explaining the reasoning behind this.

Are you able to do WTB posts for other brands in the marketplace? Have been looking for a specific Flat Head flannel I just can’t seem to find and seems like a good place to ask.

[Giles]

No probs…..Thanks for asking....

I am wondering if the ultra heavy flannel check work shirts are a staple for IH? If so, how often do they come back into stock? Many thanks

[goosehd]

@harler UHF's are released every F/W starting in Septemberish - Novemberish give or take a few weeks in both the work and western cuts.  There are still a few in stock from this season: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/work-shirts/?q=Availability-In+stock/Fabric-Heavy+Flannel+(UHF)

[harler]

thanks @goosehd. oh ok, so more will not be released until next September? I should have said that it is the Ombré ones that caught my eye.

The designs are different every season.  Sometimes they are rerun but not on any set schedule.  Your best bet is to post in the Want to Buy thread or look around on eBay.

[harler]

Thanks for the additional information @Matt. Be interesting to see what they come up with.

[tody]

The ombré UHF are labelled continuous production, but there is no set schedule as to when they will be back.

[harler]

fantastic, thanks @tody. I have the email notification setup so hopefully I will informed once they come back in stock

[goosehd]

Just a heads up that ombré is a pattern, and the colourway is purple and black for the shirt being referenced.

Ombré patterns have come in quite a few colour ways historically and each new release (season) will often have a new ombré shirt with a different colour combination.

[harler]

there is something just great about that pattern. I'm not normally one for purple but it just seems different. The blue is nice as well. What are some of the previous colour combinations?

[goosehd]

@harler Follow this link to the search function for the forum and use Ombré as your search word…Have fun!

Any tips on not blowing out jeans? I have trouble in the crotch area. Always the first place to give out on me

[Matt]

Just find a good tailor. Jeans get holes. No big deal brother.

@Isaias-C Yeah it’s all in the game. I find certain types of cuts are more prone to it than others. It has a lot to do with body shape. It is generally an easy fix though. I mostly fix my own. Just choose a thread and cut out a piece of denim from unwanted hems, then sew it on the inside.
