@endo Thanks, I have ordered a Dylon Olive Green, and will see what happens

[EdH]

@NickD Looks like its back up - at least that fraudulent site is now working for me...

@Matt said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:

@ironmind I would just wear it often and wash seldom. The creases will fade with time.

I second this...but do as thou wilt.

Not sure where this post belongs so please move if necessary.

Wondering if anyone has advice on how to fix this collar. I've tried ironing and starch and nothing works. Not really sure why it's not the same thickness as the rest of shirt but any advice would be great. Thank you

[Matt]

Maybe try placing the iron or a heavy flat object on it for a few days when you’re not wearing it to see if a crease forms. Otherwise wabi sabi.

Get it wet and iron it.....

Yup. Good advice in many occasions

@HalfPastNever And if at some point,because it’s too warm,and you’re not wearing the shirt,hang it up,buttoned up.

Anyone got recommendations for chino-style shorts in navy/khaki/olive? Along the lines of the IH West Point shorts

[jordanscollected]

@Tago-Mago UES makes some nice shorts, but maybe not as clean of a look as you are after. https://japaneseselvagejeans.com/en/collections/shorts?srsltid=AfmBOoosDG5hHOlnDImGzzWnJCRYQ5lyjtUBdnND9VUbQO8fCp01L9n9

[Tago Mago]

@jordanscollected I did look at UES and I do like their polo shirts for example. I’d like a navy pair, which they don’t offer at the moment as far as I can tell

[jordanscollected]

speaking of shorts, here's a random question. Who is the target market for these?https://www.selfedge.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3751&search=shorts

Maybe I just need to be rich to understand $1200 shorts (or Rick Owens style in general).

Seen a whole load of rinsed jeans recently. Could someone explain the difference between rinsed and one wash as I can’t find anything online? Thanks

[Alex]

@Gavin666 IMO they are synonymous in our world

[RobeOfTheMagi]

What is THE IH denim jacket to have, if you could only own one?

[AdamJ]

@RobeOfTheMagi IH-526Lod or IH-526PJ - in my opinion

Ultimately though, the beauty of it is working out your favourite! There are some jackets that slip under the radar and then become popular like @SamD IHJ-122-IND or jackets you don't realise you need 'till they're gone such as @AdamC IHJ-85-NAV

[Mister_Brue]

An impossible question to answer of course, but the IHJ-115-IND would definitely be up there on my shortlist.

[Oaktavia]

@RobeOfTheMagi Lefty Trucker

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@Mister_Brue That's not an obvious choice, is it?

@Oaktavia and @AdamJ I love the fabric of the Lefty (OD). Unfortunately I do not love the cut; I'm not into long trucker jackets.

@RobeOfTheMagi Maybe it would help us with suggestions if you list some of the criteria (likes/dislikes) of what your’e looking for.
