@goosehd Legend. That's really helpful, thank you.

Wondering what the plan is with the Sonder Supplies stuff? Some nice items there, especially that Trophy Ranger jacket I saw at the party.

[Alex]

@Nik other than it being generally being available online as it has been for a while (except over this past weekend, until a stock check is redone), no plans

[Nik]

Cool thanks @Alex

@Giles Is it physically possible to open an umbrella in someone’s ass once inserted? I get it now as it’s been raining all afternoon on very narrow crowded streets here…

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd sounds like a scientific experiment is required

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago The n is going to be much higher than 1.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I'd say n=1000 should give a solid basis for statistical analysis. Just a small cohort as an exploratory study

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago I would have been close to 50 tonight…

@goosehd no need to blind this study, I think people will notice if you open an umbrella in their arse

Do I have a misconfigured shirt? Or put differently - what are the steps a shirt goes through when it gets sewn together?
I noticed something rather strange on my 351. The two sides of the front have different lengths. They start out ok at the collar, but in the middle, buttons and holes do not line up anymore. And on the bottom, one side is about an inch longer than the other.
How is that possible?

@tody I’m positive that the crew will chime in, but you can always drop a note to the crew: shop@ironheart.co.uk

I'm after a decent denim sun hat. I know there are some good custom cap/hat makers in US, but cant find them now....Anyone?

[Alex]

@tody certainly looks like an issue, @tody. Graham will be in touch via email to work out the best route forward.

@Alex Thanks, Alex - still the interest is genuine.
I believe I have seen the templates with which each individual piece is cut out of the larger piece of fabric. And I always admire the meticulous matching of the lines and patterns when pieced together - the 401/402 are great examples for that.

But how does it go from there? When do which pieces get sewn on, when are the holes for the buttons cut, when are the buttons attached? I think this would be great material for a behind the scenes video - if it does not reveal to much confidential stuff

And, bringing it back to my shirt - could it be two mismatched front sides, one for XXL, one for XXXL? Meaning that there is a mirror shirt of mine, having it the other way round?

You're testing my memory somewhat here mate... Individual panels are cut in 'bulk' from lots of sheets of fabric, sleeves, plackets etc etc. The order that they are then assembled in, and at what stage the buttonholing takes place I cannot recall.

I agree, we have tried several times but never managed to properly capture the process as we want! We'll keep trying...

At a guess, yes..

@Matt you had, what appeared to be, uneven front panels on the dobby cpo you got a few months back?
