      @Matt not if the baby was in the front pocket though.

        Check out ciano farmer if you need big, tough pocket bags. Think he uses 12oz duck.

          Ever consider a sleeve shortening service in house? Kind of like the hemming, but more $ because it is a lot more involved.

            @wjw they’d need to hire a professional tailor to do that, or send the shirts to Japan. The guys in Gosport do good work with hemming, darning and patching. However, removing and reattaching the cuff, cutting and creating a new sleeve placket, is seriously skilled work.

              This should be added to the Quotes Worth Quoting thread!

                  Thanks everyone for the insightful comments on the front pocket bag use. This suggestion gained much more interesting commentary traction than I imagined or intended.

                      Might be too much of a technical headache, but it would be cool if the product comparison tool on the website could also be used to compare to sold out items. E.g., I have one shirt that fits perfectly but was a seasonal release and is no longer on the site. Would like to compare it to currently in stock products to find the ideal fit.

                                @neph93 Totally but I need this on my 293-OD. Or maybe facilitate sending to Japan and back? I’d probably pay $100 to fix sleeves at some point. Not sure anyone would make money but could make some customers happy.

                                  Won't happen I am afraid. As documented in many places here, we can't make enough stuff and our Japanese operations are near breaking point. We are trying to strip unnecessary complications out of everything they do, not add to them....

                                      I imagine Iron Heart would rather pay employees a living wage to do the work that you’re freely offering to be exploited for. Just a guess. 😅

                                        Hey everyone,

                                        I’ve been getting into cycling lately and stumbled across a site called Bike Insights. For those who haven’t seen it, they take frame geometries and turn them into "stick figure" overlays. It lets you visually stack two different bike frames on top of each other to see exactly how the angles and dimensions differ.

                                        It got me thinking: Could we do this for Iron Heart gear?

                                        We all spend a lot of time obsessing over size charts and comparing our best-fitting shirts or jeans to the new drops. Imagine if we could select two items from the IH database and see a visual overlay of the silhouettes. It would take so much guesswork out of the "Should I size up?" struggle.

                                        Benefits would be:

                                        Less "analysis paralysis" with size charts.

                                        Visualizing the taper in different denim cuts.

                                        Fewer returns/exchanges for the IH crew.

                                            @goosehd this is exactly what I'm talking about, but more in general across all clothes. the Link is wonderful if you want to onderstand how a specific cut is different from the next, but if you look at 2 pairs of 888's in 21oz, one OD and the other Plain indigo, size charts for a size 33 will be different between the two. If you put the sizecharts for both pairs in an excell and let in generate an image you can overlay both and have a much more visual understanding of the difference.
