@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.

@whacim Just a quick heads up that I moved your question to here.

[sabergirl]

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

@sabergirl Seconded and nice, concise answer.

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?

[Giles]

1. Same
2. No need to soak

@Giles thanks!

IH Beatle Buster

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?

[AdamJ]

@T4920 Beatle is a lady

[goosehd]

Beatle

[MQR]

@T4920 yeah ive seen her posts a few times when im lurking on the past posts, about the influence, i dont really know why the name beatle buster, ive seen it on old posts on SuFu and the evo are sick, just curious about the fabric

[T4920]

@AdamJ pronouns ammended accordingly
Question still stands though. Was she prominent member of this forum in the early days?

[goosehd]

@T4920 Yes, Beatle was one of the originals here on the forum and a few still remain to this day. As @Giles mentioned one time that the forum used to be a small group of people, like minded, who shared a love of denim. There are many pictures of the group together and some of the shenanigans that they used to get into.

If I can find the thread, there are pictures of many of them together in Japan on one of those trips.

For those pictures of the group see here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/114965

[T4920]

@goosehd That's awesome, would be cool to see the pics.

I imagine the dynamic here has a changed a lot over the years, but we're all still here for the same reasons I'm sure
