      @AdamC Hey Adam, just another suggestion, but it would be nice for the hemming fee to be waived for certain denims such as XHS and UHR which will have some shrinkage after washing for those who know their size, but prefer to get all the shrink out first.

        @bluemantra Thank you. There will be times when we apply our judgement and cases like this will usually be offered as a free service ☺ . We just need to have some rigid rules in black and white. That being said, we wouldn't cover the back and forth shipping so it is often more economical to have them hemmed locally to save those shipping costs, dependant on location of course.

            main question: can anyone recommend a trusted website to get a guardian bell?

            Story: when I first moved back to singapore, I met a guy through a friend and football. turns out he was a biker, whole family rides. we had the same brand, a triumph. from there we starting going on touring rides and did 2 DGR as well. fast forward 4 years and his wedding is in 3 weeks. apart from their wedding gift, I'm thinking of getting him a guardian bell. but a lot of the searches I pull up are from random website/ amazon. would appreciate if there is a trusted website, and one that ships internationally as well..

              Hey all, I'm really trying to decide on a type 3 and it's between the 21oz 526PJ and the 19oz 526L. For any of those who have owned both jackets, what is your favorite and why? I think if I get get a good fit after all the soaking and washing with the 526L, I'd go for that, but it seems a lot more risky in getting the size and fit right.

                  @Matt as our resident ugly shoe connoisseur, what's your option on these new 'Speed Loafers' by Hoka?

                    I won't comment on the styling, but isn't the name "Speed Loafer" a bit of an oxymoron...

                    Looks like denim truly is the fabric of our salvation.

                        @T4920 love my Clifton Hokas for long distance runs or better yet, my 40 year old joints love Hoka for long distance runs. However, I wear these only for running as I think most of their lineup to be fugly… seeing them styled as a loafer almost seems like a joke. With that said, I’m sure Matt is only contemplating which size to go with.

                            Out of all your fabrics, what would you say is the most durable? I suppose the 17oz duck?

                              For anyone who's pimped a shirt with Good Art snaps: Have you ran them through the washer and dryer? Did they hold up alright?

                                I wash all the time. My pimped shirts and jackets have been going through the washer for years. But I don't tumble dry anything, but I see no reason why it should be an issue. It is a mechanical bond that won't worry about washing or drying.

                                  I’d wash inside out though. The silver could pick up some dings in the wash I’d think. It will be very shiny though.

                                    Hi,

                                    I'm hopeful this is the best place to post this question as it's my first and I don't want to get it wrong out the gate.

                                    I recently picked up my first IH shirt - Iron Heart IHSH-235-OLV 13oz Military Serge Western Shirt - Olive Drab Green"

                                    I found that while I loved it, the armpit holes came pretty high and tight into my armpit. That it made it a little uncomfortable and quickly made me sweat. A large fit me perfect in every other aspect.

                                    Is there a general rule among IH shirts that some are cut this way and others not?

                                    I loved the fabric and really want to explore other IH options like the IHSH-292-IND but i'm wondering if the western cut just isn't for me.

                                      @chopcity223 I moved your question here, thanks for joining and your question.

                                      Western shirts are cut slightly slimmer in the body than work shirts, which may explain what you're describing in the armpit area. Work shirts are designed to be a bit more forgiving, and to work in, so you may find this eases your concern. CPO shirts (like the IHSH-292-IND) are also cut slighty larger than western shirts as they are designed to be worn as over shirts, but I would suggest you try a work shirt first

                                      This is the work shirt version of the shirt you have, for what its worth:

                                            Iron Heart 888 or 777

                                            Hello to you all, I have purchased my first Iron Heart jeans in the 666. However measuring 8.5 on the leg inner it seems like a boot cut, compared to my normal jeans. I was wondering if I should go for the 777 or 888, ideally I would like a 7 inch inner leg seam. My preference would be high rise with a 7inch leg. Perhaps as a 51 year old 36w the slimmer style is not the way forward? Any suggestions
