@tody said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:

@Gammaman Blotting paper on both sides, and then carefully melt the wax with an iron.

That is the way.....

[Gammaman]

Thanks that what I was thinking just have to wipe the dust off the iron haven’t used it in years.

All gone I can live with the slightly darker spots cheers.

Ok question,
I believe already been answered

But seeing some people using the Tumble dryer for drying jeans.

I know it’s not recommended but still some do it.

Any benefits from it, for the Fades

[Jett129]

@Kasi I do it all the time,especially once I’ve gotten all the shrink out. Sometimes inside out sometimes right side out. Depends on how they were washed. I use the highest setting and put tennis balls in for the wrinkles,and it has absolutely zero effect on the fading process.

[Kasi]

Thanks @Jett129

[Matt]

I Think the effects on fading would be over time. You’d get less contrast than if you air dry them. If you don’t wash and dry infrequently it wouldn’t be as much of a problem. Ive dried mine once or twice with no significant issues.

Thank @Matt

I always tumble dry, inside-out. I can only compare to what I’ve seen online of you crazies that baby and hand-wash all your stuff, but I think lower contrast is the only difference in fades. That comes from the machine washing, and not from drying.

Thanks @sabergirl

Can anyone help me ID these: https://www.marrkt.com/products/iron-heart-9oz-cotton-chinos-green-31?_kx=9Ir7c6ZKdNDjrFY5V3kjbpsXOvpYTRxCd8iQ9IrbMGI%3D.T8mKkc

I'm assuming they're legit, but I've tried searching the Bottoms pages, but can't find reference to a 9oz selvedge cargo pant on these forums... Might be tempted to give those a go tho if they're for real as they look to be my size.

[sabergirl]

Those look like 718 heavy sateen cargoes. I’ve always wanted a pair. Not sure if the fabric weight was ever published.

[AdamJ]

@sabergirl spot on with the ID, I don't recall them being selvedge though. Forum thread is here

[Giles]

Tricky one. They are def legit, but the sateen was not selvedge. I think the only selvedge cargoes we did (other than denim) was the IH-714

https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/5135

And the IH-705

[EdH]

Thanks all!

[EdH]

Nevermind, it appears that someone else decided to snap those cargos up. If you got a tip off from my post above, whoever you are, you're welcome.

At least that makes it easier for me to get the 2 shirts I'm after from SS23...

[JasonT]

I am looking at purchasing my first Iron Heart product, so I am a bit cautious about getting the sizing right. I am looking at the Ultra Heavy Flannel Tartan Check Western Shirt and I would typically expect that I would be a medium. I measured a shirt of mine that fits well. The P2P is 21.5 and the waist is 20.5. The shirt isn't tight on me, but it fits well. Basically I am saying I have room to play with. So here is my question, should I look at the medium which has a P2P of 21.2 and a waist of 20.3 or size up to a large (P2P 22, waist 21.2)? I would hate to order the wrong size. Any help from you experts would be greatly appreciated.

[Alex]

@JasonT Sounds like the medium would be the right size without any shrinkage. How do you plan to wash the shirt?
