Repairs & Modifications

[ARNC]

@m4xime the shipping labels for sending in repairs are manually generated during office hours. That ties in with @Mister_Brue’s comment. I had some direct correspondence about my current repair before sending it in, but I guess your form will need to be reviewed to confirm that the repair is possible before they send you the shipping info.

Hi @m4xime, Apologies for the delay here.

We typically assess the details in your submission, and once we confirm we can repair them, we will action the returns labels so they can be shipped to us. I hope this helps, and I appreciate your patience.

@Mister_Brue mine is now at IHHQ waiting for the attentions of the crotch doctor. Our experience aligns and will hopefully help @m4xime

Thanks all! This prompted me to check my spam and it was in there! All sorted. Addressing a small issue where the fabric is softening before it gets worse.

First attempt at sashiko repair. Kakinohana (persimmon flower) stitch on my N&F 10th Anniversary pair.

Did not take into account just how effeminate it would end up looking when finished, but I still dig it

@nurunuru This is coming along nicely!

@nurunuru looks incredible! How long did that take you?

@nurunuru love it, it looks amazing!

Cheers! The blue pen lines should wash out; just haven't washed these since patching 'em.

@DeeDee85 I'd guess something like 12 hours' work, all told. Slow stuff! Had to pull the needle through with pliers pretty often, which added a bunch of time. I imagine it'd go quite a bit quicker if both of the fabrics were thinner/softer.

Not sure if it’s the right thread, but I’ve just had these two shirts modified:

Thanks to my mom for the needlework!

They are great shirts, but both suffered from the cats eye buttons becoming undone very easily. So when I realized that IH had started using four-hole buttons on some work shirts I wrote and asked if it was possible to order replacements for the originals.

And - huge shout out to costumer support - they offered me enough to change all buttons on both shirts

Once again, great service, and thank you to IHUK and my mom!

Man vs machine crotch repair. 21oz is really the best fabric. My first IH pair still going strong

Couldn't be farther from iron heart but im fixing a knee on my friends daughters favorite pair of jeans today.

Probably no suprise that I think fast fashion is awful on many levels but I actually get quite a lot of satisfaction working on these types of items as I learn to sew.

Feels like a little act of defiance/protest to keep them alive longer and short circuit the buy-throwaway-rebuy cycle

@GraemeE I’m with you on that. And these jeans are going to look better than ever, so cool
