Hey Forum peeps…we’re looking at having new windows put into our home and are in the process of getting quotes. We had one company come out for a quote and it seemed astronomical.
Wondering if anyone has gone through this process lately and have some experience with pricing etc.

We have 22 windows we’d like replaced. Dude quoted us $60k at retail. This guy is a family friend and said he could get us employee cost for half price. Sounded like a good deal in theory but $30k still seems astronomical.

Anyways. We plan to ge more quotes and research more. Just curious if anyone has some fresh, first hand experience.

Freebee 634

I’ve had this pair for a while, can anyone shed light on when it’s from and what denim it is? There is no selvedge line

[sabergirl]

@slack0 21 oz denim. Probably c. 2006-7? Maybe earlier. Levi’s lawsuits about the red tab and arcs went down in 2007 I think.

@slack0 Still trying to get more info for you, but here’s a little to start.

@Giles said in IRON CAST by Iron Heart International:

I never really got to the bottom of FreeBee, other than I think it was an early version of Triple Works.  By that I mean, stuff that H wanted to make, but did not think it fitted in with the IH aesthetic…..

@sabergirl Thank you!

[slack0]

Wow that’s quite a long time ago. When I got them they were basically new too

[goosehd]

@slack0 …just a post about the Freebee’s compared to the IH 21oz…https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/403573

Anyone have a recommendation for a good quality hard sunglasses/ glasses case? Something strong enough to put in luggage?

Have you ever "ripped" off a non snaps shirt?

I came close last night lol. Glad it was IH. A weaker stitch would've gave out. I can't be the only one.

[T4920]

@CosmoSix5 yeah! Couple of time with my Wabash work shirt, held up fantastically well

@CosmoSix5 Question moved here.

You were to slow. Someone got to comment before the black hole was used.

[goosehd]

@CosmoSix5 I’m sorry you feel this way, but this would be the correct area for that question.

[T4920]

Might be a silly one, but is the machinery of the average high street tailor capable of hemming heavy denim such as 21oz and UHR?

Got lucky and scored some 21oz IB 666s on Markkt for a steal, and wanna get them hemmed alongside my UHR, as I'm kinda of bored of the cuffed denim look at the moment.

@Mister_Brue they've done good jobs with Wabash and 18oz denim in the past, and are the best rated tailor in my city.. I'll speak to the guy!

[ARNC]

@T4920 there’s always the option of getting them done at Gosport (I’m sure you could drop them off when you’re there, even if there’s not time to do them immediately).

Maybe it's just me, but has there been some measurement "drift" across different patterns/cuts? Seems like a lot of shirts are shrinking in shoulder measurements and increasing in arm length. I've also noticed waist measurements, relative to the other ones on a given size, are varying to the point that I've been exploring other cuts. For example, my 888 waist measurement has been getting wider legs, so I looked at the 555, and they seem to be moving in the opposite direction - waist is increasing next to the other dimensions. I understand that it's natural to have some variation and it's an art, not a science. I guess I need to just accept that some items just aren't for me if the measurements are off for needs. Credit to the crew though, you guys always do a fantastic job digging through the stock for off-chart specific needs. Sorry for being picky!
