      An actual question, before the conversation drifts...

      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..

      GREAT QUESTION T4920!

      The journey is the objective.

        Yes, great question indeed.

          @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 😆

              Well am having a new experience
              With my 33 indigo shirt
              Starch the arm on the inside.
              Cuff them pull the sleeves up like this

              Been wearing under 19oz CPO to set the creases

              Now you can see the results

                @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.

                  Is it really that different from pants?

                    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.

                            If it has a collar, I hang it. If it doesn’t, I don’t.

                                newbie questions :

                                1. Current XHS ( 666,634, etc ) & IH Beatle Buster 25oz ( i believe it was competition denim around 2013-2015ish ) are those the same or different fabric?

                                2. i have 666 xhs ( my first IH ) and i soak it, and i think it fits better, if i were to buy say 21oz IH ( 634s, 888s, etc ), do i have to soak it first too? or can i just wear it on the get go?

                                      Was Beatle a former crew member/mod? I see the name a lot flicking through old threads, I assume these jeans were named after him her?
