@wjw yeah man all of my faded shirts and jackets are faded differently on each arm. It is totally normal. If they matched up perfectly or nearly identical, wouldn't that be kind of strange? One arm always seems to fade quicker than the other, especially after they really start to pop like the ones in your photos. After about double that amount of wear (perhaps less), it wont be nearly as noticeable and will be well faded throughout.
Could be due to using one arm differently than the other, which seems likely.

@Oaktavia cool. This is the first shirt I've really faded, didn't know if it was par for the course or not. Never noticed it in people's post. Excited to see how this will look after it's eventual first wash.

@petersmith I have a couple pair of 555 tapered to around 7.5" from more than 8.5. no issues for me. Even can do engineers with only slight adjustments. Jere are my tapered 21oz 555s

I recently picked up a pair of Kaptain Sunshine's shoecut denim. Loved the fabric, but couldn't get on with the fit so thought I'd ask if IH has ever done a slubby/neppy, hairy denim?
-
Yeah, sorry @Giles, shouldn't have conflated the two. Neppy would be interesting.

@louisbosco I use Waze all the time in mine. Not on the car, just on my iPhone. If you have that connected to Bluetooth, you get guidance through your car’s speakers. The charge pad you rest your phone on is in an okay spot if you need to glance down once in a while.

@CosmoSix5 There look great. What size are they? My size 34s look a lot baggier. Did they shrink at all after washing?
-
@Chibs cheers mate. Really helpful, I’ll bear in mind to bring my MagSafe phone holder just in case

@petersmith mine are a 38 tag size. I wasn't happy until they were brought in knee to hem. Unfortunately this specific pickiness may keep me from ever having a XHS pair. The 21oz garners "this fabric is quite heavy" from Marina my local tailor. I don't think she'd touch 25oz. And that's a lot of money to have jeans that aren't exactly(close to) what I want. Very jelly of the 33" tag size people those measurements are amazing. Can't suck it in that much
-
@CosmoSix5 I didn't realize you could tailor Iron Hearts like that. Can you just take it to any tailor to do it? Or does it have to be a pretty skilled tailor? Since they're selvedge and all....
-
@petersmith use judgement and ask questions. Hemming and tapering, shortening sleeves are pretty simple for most.
-
@petersmith I have had IH jeans and cargos tapered. Have also taken both my 21oz Riders jackets in and had sleeves shortened / tapered. I would go to a tailor that you trust / are recommended. I can recommend one in London if needed.

@Cutlasshound How’s the sheep herding going?
