      Some of these are fantastic - remind me of a few of my early and now-retired IHs.

        From memory, I think that a run was made with the incorrect patch,,,,,

          This one has been toasted by regular washes, and given a few coats of (human) moisturiser.

              @DeeDee85 ahaha I just mean one designed for skin, rather than leather.

              Now you mention it, the phrasing was rather suspect...

                    From memory, I think that a run was made with the incorrect patch,,,,,

                    We did the IH-666D as the first cut of 5 pocket ducks. Then we decided to introduce the 777. I forgot to ask the Japanese to use a more appropriate patch....

                    It got fixedf for subsequent runs....

                            Patches look great @WhiskeySandwich the first is really impressive since the jeans have alot of wear

                            Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                            Well, I have others.

                              It finally came the time to retire the patch from my IH-888S-21. It got to scratchy on the shirts after all those 95 degrees Celsius washes.

                                            @Karol this is far out! Did you put these in the dryer by chance? Did you ever use any kind of leather conditioner between washes?
