                  @Tago-Mago use your new mod powers to influence the powers that be to bleach some dotted lines all over a nice t shirt? Then we wouldn't have an issue 😆

                  This actually just reminded me of a new product Giles told me was in the pipeline in Hamburg last year... I think you might have been there at the time too...

                  I'll keep quiet, but hopefully it is part of the FW collection!

                    Would the crew 'hem' the sleeves of a long sleeved shirt, to the typical short sleeved length for a customer?

                    Need to pick up a summer shirt, and the 10oz work shirt with tonal stitching that's sitting in the outlet is calling me..

                            @T4920 It's not something we've done before. We're not really setup for full blown garment altering in all honesty. We have the means to shorten bottoms of course but I think once you go down altering sleeves, it becomes a much bigger job

                            The devil is in the detail..

                              @AdamJ that's understandable, I'd never ask for minor sleeve/cuff length alterations as that's obviously a specialist job for a tailor.

                              Just thought LS to SS conversion might have been possible as (in my mind at least) it seems like the same process as hemming a pair of trousers, and I doubt it'd be a common request.

                              You can blame @Kasi for inspiring me with his recent SS denim shirt conversion 😆

                                  @T4920 I had a long sleeve shirt converted to a short sleeve shirt by a local tailor and it was an easy and inexpensive fix.

                                      Hang or fold? Waffle, Kersey & dobby IH shirt storage

                                      I feel like this is a question that is either very obvious or has already been answered a million times, but my Google and forum search skills have failed me.

                                      How should I store my Iron Heart shirts?

                                      Specifically, I'm wondering about the best way to stash these fabrics without stretching or creasing them:

                                      Waffle
                                      Kersey cloth
                                      5 oz & 12 oz dobby cloth

                                      Should I hang 'em or fold 'em?

                                      I'd really appreciate any advice from those who have experience with these specific fabrics. Thanks in advance for
                                      your help!

                                      Cheers

                                          I hang all my shirts. Fold my tee shirts.

                                          Hanging has traditionally been my approach, but I also haven't spent much time contemplating shirt storage until I discovered IH. Now all I think about is shirts.

                                          I have no concerns about what to do with my non-denim/serge/chambray shirts, but the Kerseys, waffles and dobbys of the world are new to me.
