      Why does indigo black look so different with different brands? For example IH IB to me looks always like a reaaaaally dark inky blue, while my Mister freedom midnight denim lot64 look black to me.

        Re: The Mister Freedom denin. Possibly the warp is super dark indigo, but more likely the weave shows more of the black weft through the indigo warp.

          @Giles thanks Giles, thought of something like that but need to educate myself better about the construction of denim.

            Not sure where to ask this question, so sorry if this is the wrong place, but is there a link from the discussion of an item to the actual item on the website? A lot of times I see something I like but then have to search for it on the website.

              If the product is a live or continuous product, then there will (should) be a link from the product thread to the web page.

              On desk top, at the top of a product thread page:

              And also after the most recent post:

              image.png

              Sam logic applies for phones etc.

              If the product is no longer available, there will be no link. We used to have links for ever, but it became impossible to manage, we will be bringing some of that old functionality back at some point.

              If the product has not been released, or is due to be released very shortly, then the link may not exist.

              But, at the end of the day, having to do a search is not the most complicated function to perform 🙂

                  Maybe not the best place for this, but I recently posted a thread in Stuff to Trade, but ended up selling the item. The Trading Rules thread says to lock the thread if item is no longer available, but I can't seem to figure out how to lock the thread.

                  Should I flag the thread for a Moderator to remove?

                              I don’t have a bathtub at home, and with the items I really care about, I tend to hand wash my pieces in a storage type container in the shower - but it’s such a hassle. Should I be so afraid of using the washing machine? I try and take the best care of my things as possible so I’m cautious…

                                @americanathreads I used to soak and wash my IH in the tub when I got my first pieces. Now I don't bother anymore and just throw everything in the washing machine inside out. I do soak my denim before I wash it. Programme is gentle 30°C 600rpm

                                  I wash everything on cold then air dry. If it’s a material that’s prone to marbling or the first time with raw denim i soak first.

                                    Thanks both for the insight. I’ll start to work more items into washing machine 😅

                                      I’ve got a long sleeve thermal shirt. It has the overlock run-off dangles on the ends of the sleeves. Is it OK to trim them flush with the fabric? I keep dipping them in food and if just rather not ;).

                                        @mmerkle from what I read on here, this is safe to do. I have yet to trim mine, but they are kind of annoying at times indeed.

                                            @mmerkle I trimmed mine off straight away. Several trips in the washing machine later and it’s still all good.
