Ok so I wanna apply the Obenauf leather polish to my tan belt… Y'all use a cloth for it?.. Someone said something about laying it in the sun so it would really absorp the polish?.. Any pointers are welcome...

Did my wallet with it a couple of weeks ago, put it in the sun in a conservatory, soaked in a treat, or you could use a hairdryer if no sun is available.

[Chris]

Do you even own a hairdryer, Seul?

[Beatle]

apply, let soak in for a couple of minutes, and use a towel / rag / tissue whatever to dry off extra residue

I'll put it in the sun, yes. I have a hairdryer to dry my eyebrows after a shower.

So I apply the polish with a rag, right?.. This stuf smells so good I wanna just eat it with a spoon…

Here's a question. Maybe the answer lies somewhere in the 106 pages of general chat posts but that's a lot of pages… Why do IH shirt dimensions differ so much from shirt to shirt?  For example, I own both the 33 and the 34 in a large.  The 33 fits perfectly with a 21.8" p2p measurement while the 34 is a bit boxier with a 22.5" p2p measurement.  The 34 still works and works well when layered but I feel like this has to do with the weight of the material. A work shirt like the 44 which is a different cut and lighter material could just be kind of shapeless on my frame. I could be wrong about that though and maybe I am missing the point. So, back to the question, are these shirts cut differently with the intention that they will be worn differently or do the dimensions differ simply by chance? Thanks.

weird example..the 33 is one wash and I think that´s why it is a little more snug. unless u have washed ur hairline hickory already..

but - generally speaking - and that´s why ur example is not typical

workshirts - slightly "boxier " and shorter than western in the same size, and yes, due to the fact that they are supposed to fit differently
