Is there any way to shorten a shirt's sleeves?

[injunjack]

yes there is. Jimmy can tell you how. Or any decent tailor.

[ronaldlsh]

Ok thanks. Erm, anyone here ever done that on an IH shirt?

@Max:

That's a very interesting bottle! 1984 is my birthyear, and I like sherry matured whisky. But I fear I bought too much lately…must think about it, ok?

No problem dude - just thought you'd be interested

Anyone with experience comparing fit of broken in 301 vs 9301? Any difference?

Ronald, are the sleeves crazy long? Cuffing back looks nice.

We do it a lot on our jackets and shirts, this from the TWHRII

http://www.ironheart.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=57

Looks more like a 2 needle machine with separate/independent needle bars, while the original post showed a pocket stitching executed using on a single needle machine (basically, setting the pocket 1 stitch row/seam at a time, making parallel stitching more tricky if desired.)

its differently a single needle stitch on the TW. impossible to do that with a twin needle.  they even knee lifts once they get to the end so the bottom of the triangle is one big stitch.

Why would you float the needle thread if you use a 1N L or C?
One standard machine in "modern" jeans/workwear factories is 2N L or C machine that has 2 independent needle bars allowing the operator to stop 1 needle (in the fabric or lifted/knuckle off - needle down) and continue the seam with other needle before pivoting (and doing more crazy stuff like the bottom triangle which would require both needles up at one point).
Not saying that TW did, but that's what we would do it if we could find a reasonable explanation/justification for this design in the first place…

Is there ANYONE here who knows of a LEGIT program that can split up .mkv (matroesjka) files?.. My good ole trusty Ultra Video Splitter is letting me down…

[Geo]

Mkvtoolnix

Or simply rename the file extension .mkv to .avi and edit that since mkv is only a container file

[Seul]

Yeah - have that much figured out. But that means quality loss…

Gues there is no such program that can 'look' into a whole .mkv file, visualise it (as in: you can preview the whole file) and split it without any quality loss...

[Geo]

There is no quality loss in renaming it Seul

The container file (mkv) does not have anything to do with the quality as such

Different codecs have varying results but the basic file will not suffer deterioration

[Seul]

I'll see what it gives after I've split it (in best quality) with Ultra Video Splitter. Ta.

[Seul]

Meh - won't work. No problems changing extensions but now I have no audio, the quality is about the same but it keeps freezing, and it won't cut accurately enough… Fuck it.

Does anyone own an ALTADENA WORK 'Teardrop' backpack?.. How tough are these?.. I need it to carry say 15-20 kgs… Would that work?..
