There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question
-
Two stupid questions from me:
Have given my first UHF shirt its first wash. Was tagged M and was just a tad too big, gave it a cotton wash at 40 with my normal shirts with the full normal spin. It has shrunk a little, am now v happy with the fit. Is there a risk of further shrinking if I inadvertently give it a ‘full’ wash again?Second question is how much fabric is used up in hemming?
Just had a pair of 634 SB back from hemming. Unfortunately I didn’t measure the leg length before sending them back, but when cuffed them to work out the length I wanted, I did have around 3cm of cuff.
When they were returned with the removed material. It was only around the width of the chainstitch, around 1cm, not the 2.5 to 3 cm I expected.
Makes me feel a bit foolish asking for them to to be hemmed by such a small amount

@Pinkpan not super applicable for shirts, but for jeans I bought some little leather patch fade logs and I store them in the little "change" pouch on the right pocket, and I take them out, mark with a a sharpie & put them on my dresser before bed at night so I can tell if I remembered to do it or not. The only problem is one of them fell out of my pocket once! So the aesthetic is nice, but digital certainly works better if you can remember to do it.

@Oaktavia might be able to repost it for ya…Here is a blank chart in a Google Document. You may want to add column on the right for number of washes. Just make a copy if you want to use one.

@pinkpan I keep IOS notes for my wears and measurements but I only count wears on denim. Fun to keep track of just to compare and keeping track of measurements helps kinda as a buying guide.
