I’m thinking about having a tailor alter my IHSH 13 chambray western to short sleeve. Anyone ever do this? Any tips on sleeve length? Good idea or will I regret? Currently both elbows repaired poorly by me so I’m just not loving the aesthetic.

[Matt]

You could do that but if the upper sleeve is too tight you might not like it and then your screwed.

If you’re interested in alternatives I think elbow patches could be cool. Like an indigo bandana or something. Or maybe IH can repair them for you if you send it to HQ.

[moto]

@Matt good point about the tightness in the sleeve. Seems like a more professional repair is the right move. Thanks!

[Matt]

@moto I think the average short sleeve length is about 10 inches. Also if you don’t like it then you can keep on going and take the sleeves off and sort of have a vest. I actually like the way you repaired the elbows.

Thanks @Jett129 !

RIP Legend. This one hits hard for me.

I was just telling my SIL that i grew up wanting to be Francis ("FRAN-SASS" as so eloquently put by Pee Wee).

I also reference the snake aquarium in the pet shop fire scene regularly. I am going to repeatedly cringe as I put this task off over and over again. I'll do it last and pass out from fear but it'll get done.

@Matt I hear that. My children loved him. Me too.

To all of the Hawaiians, thoughts and prayers to all of those affected by the current wildfires. Just saw on the news that it’s pretty bad in a few spots.

We have a supplier rep in from Japan (Tokyo) and took him to dinner last night. He has never heard of Iron Heart, but I noticed his phone case and glasses case and had to snap a pic.

@jordanscollected nice. I only really realised the last time I was in Japan quite how massive Porter is in Japan. I would go so far as to say maybe a quarter of people in you see out and about in Tokyo have something by the brand, covering a vast range of styles.

I saw a neat video on Reddit about using a traditional method to make cotton textiles. Not sure where to post it but figured some of you might like to watch it. See here.

I’m trapped at the mall helping the Mrs. Find some work clothes. A time old tale.
Got bored waiting in the dressing room chairs and decided to read up on weather predictions for Colorado winter 23-24

@Matt you may be happy to know…
