Black Denim Shirt

As a fan I am starting to accumulate a nice collections of jeans, jackets, and flannels, and am ready to pull the trigger on a denim shirt. I am giving serious consideration to the Kersey, the Double Cloth, and 10 oz selvedge, and the Mock Twill, all in
Black all in Western. I am leaning towards reactive dye liking the less fading but maybe the overdye or sulphur dyes age nicely with some fades? Any recommendations to get me into a denim shirt…sooner than later

I think the Johnny Cash III (IHSH-218) is in your future

[les.l]

@chrisjohnnick that is a great choice, i just need another 3/4 or inch in the waist and that size is one of the few n/a

@les-l IHSH-33B was my first Iron Heart shirt and is a stone cold classic.

[pechelman]

So many great shirts, Johnny Cash, 33, but don't forget about the 293.

Does anyone have recommendations for boots in the price range between Red Wing and the Vibergs and John Lofgrens of the world? Style-wise, something along the lines of the 2030 or 1035 Service Boot

@Tago-Mago Might want to check out Zerrows as they have a fantastic offering and they are built really well.

@Tago-Mago Truman Boots kinda fall in between Red Wing and Viberg/Lofgren/Wesco price wise. They have a solid build as well and some interesting leathers.

Nicks Boots also has some really solid builds for a bit less than Viberg as well.

@Tago-Mago Truman, Oak Street Bootmakers. Truman offers some very cool leathers and occasional MTO runs.

Sonder Supplies has closed. The website was disabled during the party weekend so that we could just focus on in store sales, I suspect that it was forgotten about and has only just been turned back on when someone ready your post earlier today

I’m wondering: When IHUK does a pocket bag repair, how do they go about that? Do they replace the whole pocket bag, or just repair the hole?

I get chronic pocket bag separation on all my IH jeans. Where the bag attaches to the upper seam of the pocket. Wish I could somehow preemptively reinforce that area before the separation occurs.

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle I may be wrong, but they (IHUK) doesn't do pocket bags...

[Tago Mago]

@Mizmazzle @JoshC one for you

[goosehd]

I asked about it when I was in Gosport and to repair pocket bags would mean that the area would need to be deconstructed and almost remade from scratch. Because of the time involved, it's not a service offered.

@Tago-Mago you could also take a look at White’s when they do their fall sale. I’ve purchased a couple pair from Baker Shoe and been very happy.

@Mizmazzle which pockets do you mean and what type of damage? Josh repaired my torn front pocket like this:

[Mizmazzle]

Ah. That would be a bummer but also understandable. I have noticed the mention of pocket bag repairs being somehow separated from other darning type repairs but thought perhaps they needed more time or a longer repair time.
