      Is it possible to use indigo on mercerised cotton?

        @Karol I don't see why not, but I don't think we will be rushing to make indigo chinos if that is where you were going with this

            Or maybe something more unusual - mercerised denim? Has that ever been done?

              I bought a second hand deck vest online and it was shipped with 2 of these button extenders.

              IMG_4410.jpeg

              It had some stains not described in the listing, which they admitted to, and I sent it back. The seller then refunded me £50 less as I didn’t send back the button extenders, as they are ‘exclusive to iron heart’ and can’t be replaced. I have never seen these before.

              Is this true?

                @ironmind Personally, I have never seen button extenders offered from Ironheart. I am tagging @Giles for confirmation as I have been wrong before.

                  To add to this I had them both this morning and was going to send them back, but one has gone missing (think my toddler has taken it and put it somewhere 😩)

                    Thanks, neither have I - think he’s trying to pull a fast one to pay for the dry cleaning!

                          Hello,

                          I need some advice for a great wool crew neck pullover. I am looking for a high quality wool crew-neck, preferably in olive without any logos. Something René Herse might have worn randonneuring :). Maybe something from the Hebrides? A wool sweater that I can use in the great outdoors as well as in the classroom would be nice :).

                          You're it.

                            @RobeOfTheMagi Check out the Dehen sweaters. There are not too many with crew necks but they have been making wool motorcycle sweaters since the 1940s.

                                @Giles @goosehd I screenshotted this conversation and the seller gave me a full refund, he thought they were part of the jacket so probably an honest misunderstanding.

                                It’s hard not to love IH with CS this good!

                                    I have this Freenote shirt and noticed the part of the stitching on the shoulder has come loose. I cut the thread and tied it off on the inside of the shirt. Nothing on it is coming apart; it all feels very sturdy and secure. Should I just leave it and wear, or is it worth taking to a tailor to get fixed?

                                      I'd get that stitched.....But I would backstitch it by hand - super easy....

                                          @RobeOfTheMagi If not too late, I enjoy my wool jumper from Peregrine in the UK: https://www.peregrineclothing.co.uk/collections/mens-knitwear

                                          It's my only purchase from them so can't speak to their other stuff.

                                          Take the dive...
