Replaced a bent snap on my SJ Foley with some IH copper! Really liking how this turned out.

@derek111 that’s way cool!

[Mizmazzle]

@SourPower this is also very cool! What is that little leather pouch for?

[SourPower]

@Mizmazzle it’s a just a slim card/cash wallet. I used to carry a bi-fold, but haven’t been able to look back since my buddy gave me this as a gift!

[Mizmazzle]

@SourPower same same. Card wallets are where it’s at!

Not sure if worth it. Need to run over it with singer anyway

[derek111]

I don't like patches on my jackets, so I re-used this one on an old waxed hat. Still need to sew on using the existing holes. Just fabric adhesive for now.

Leather patches on hats should be official IH gear. @Alex

[Alex]

Well shit, you and I had the same idea @derek111! Looks great. I mentioned watching this space for denim ball caps, keep watching @Matt @Oaktavia the sample is in the works at the moment

[Oaktavia]

@Alex right on!!!

[Matt]

This will be really cool.

IH-666S-21 Reinforce frayed cuffs?

My IH are a little over a year old and I'm noticing early wear where I cuff them. Curious if you think it is worth sending to IH or rail car to get them reinforced and fixed now or should I just try to avoid cuffing in the same spot. I prefer for the repairs to not be noticible, so was hoping if I do something now it would be less visible. Thanks friends.

@mobius111 From my experience, your wear is the cost of cuffing and at this point isn't bad (as you said "early wear". You could try cuffing in a different spot, but I don't think it will work as my cuffs tend to resettle where they want, which is normally where they were in the first place.

@JoshC worth a visit for repair yet? Any suggestions?
