    Def the IHSH-08.  It's not always about weight.  10 lbs of steel is a lot tougher than 11 lbs of marshmallows…..

      That explanation makes sense for my skull 🙂
      Hope IH bring back the "iron" shirt or something close to it in the future

      Thank you very much Giles

        What I love about that shirt is that it is a non-CPO shirt in a fabric weight that seems to usually go CPO these days. I love CPOs, but a regular shirt but with ridiculous fabric weight is one of the things I love about IH. Think IHSH-64, UHF, etc. It’s less remarkable to have a shacket in a heavy weight.

        Think it, be it.

            I was wondering, how is the black over dye process different from the indigo black process. The black ODs fade to a sort of washed out grayish blue, while tie IB seem to turn all the way back to blue…how is each applied that they would fade away in such different ways?

              @Mizmazzle The way I understand it is that an indigo x black fabric has an indigo dyed warp yarn and a black dyed weft yarn. These two yarns are then woven together on the loom. The over dying process happens after the fabric is already woven together. So in this case I think they take a "regular" blue denim with and indigo warp and a white or off white weft and dip it in a black dye.

                  I don't know if anyone has asked this question before but are all the Iron Heart buttons all made of brass and coated in another metal like copper or aluminium oxide as the silver ones underneath look brassy with wear?

                      Does hickory denim, by definition, only use indigo as the dye colour, or is ‘black hickory’ a thing? Or any other colour, for that matter….[emoji848]

                              Who is selling it, @Daniel San ? A German, or are you seeing a Japanese for sale listing on the German eBay?

                                        They should not have been sold, they were giveaways, primarily for Japanese retailers.  No idea how many were made.

                                          Just noticed that, since the forum change, I’m back to being “Raw and unwashed”. My post count is over 600. Any way to get me “upgraded” to my rightful status 😂?
