@WhiskeySandwich I just got a pair of IH engineer socks and was really happy with the quality. I generally wear Darn Tough socks, but iron heart socks are just as if not better IMO.

Anyone who tried to starch soft denim (specifically: Sashiko) to make it stiff(er) and can share some instructions and insights based on their experience? I've read some of the relevant posts on the forum already, but I'm wondering if there are any specific/recent/easier/better methods without having to reinvent the wheel and possibly mess up something irreversibly.

@bluemantra
ooh really? -
@T4920 no answer to your question but just a big JEEJ for you! A girl and she loves denim boy isn’t she a keeper?
-
@T4920 I don't know if there has been a ladies specific size in the 21oz type 3, but depending on her size you may get away with one of the smaller size men's jackets (either the Men's small or XS).
My wife is typically a women's medium in IH shirts and jackets which is around a xs or small in the men's. The tapering is not quite the same though from the men's to women's cuts.
EDIT: I just checked the online IH Japan website and do not see the Type 3 in ladies sizes.

@T4920 This might help you with sizing:
@Giles said in Something For The Ladies:
We have decided that we will start stocking a few ladies sized shirts in the more popular styles. So inbound we have.
Ladies Small and Ladies Medium (both smaller than our normal XS) in:
IHSH-13, IHSH-21 and IHSH-33
More will follow.
Sizing will be published in the appropriate threads when we have them here.

@DeeDee85 I feel like 1600 is pretty long in the body compared to a lot of t-shirts. I'll take a body length measurement of my XL tonight and shoot you a PM. May be helpful since it's been washed and hot dried.
-
@T4920 Maybe the sleeves would be excessively long in men's sizes XS or S, the LM flannel shirts I could never buy them just for the overall length and the sleeves, although now it seems that the girl's type 3 are all oversized so it could be great if she likes this style
-
@jordanscollected I would really appreciate that, thank you!
-
@Luijim78 the sleeve length is a huge difference for the men's vs women's shirts. I bought an XS men's flannel for my wife and she had to shorten the sleeves like 4-5" as well as have it tapered on the sides.

@RoxRocks86 Need your expertise on Type III's and sizing. @T4920 needs some help if possible.
-
@T4920 does she already own a denim jacket or a jacket that she likes the fit of that you could measure the IH way? That might be the best bet in trying to figure out sizing. It might also help if you know if she likes her clothes fitted or loose.
I’m 4’9” 100lbs and right off the bat the fit of XS men’s shirts & jackets are all too long and baggy on me, plus I have a short torso. But I like the oversized fit. If ladies sizing for shirts are available I typically go for that.
Fit pics for reference * edit to add this is the IHJ-142od in small.
