      You might want to get some patch glue to secure it in the exact spot you want it before you go to a tailor. Selfedge has a tailor that they recommend around the corner from them on Stanton Street. I don't know the name.

        Good call. I'll look into that.

          Do you know if it is possible to add hand warmer pockets to a coat? This is not really IH specific. I have a Barbour jacket that fits me well and that I very much like but it doesn't have hand warmer pockets and it drives me bananas. I could try to find an alternate coat, but again, this one fits me well otherwise…

                Any recommendations? This is my IHM-15, about 3.5 years later. The right pocket is getting worn.

                      Indigoproof fixed a jean jacket for me that had similar problems. You might want to reach out to Rain,if you’re in the states.

                        Bought a couple of liberty cuffs ages ago that I planned to put on my IHW-01 but never got round to it. I recently acquired a MFSC Drover Blouse in Denim and this jacket seemed like the perfect home for the liberty cuffs . . .

                          That’s so cool! Perfect garment for those cuffs, well paired @den1mhead . 👍🏼👍🏼

                          If I ever get to meet you at some IH event, I sure hope you’ll be wearing it so I get to personally see it.

                          ☝🏼Name fixed!

                                  I'd like to offer a shout out to Railcar Fine Goods.  I have a good problem: I have lost a ton of weight and despite age and gravity, I'm back (mostly).  That said, my IHs have been worn to daily perfection–-softer, fades, good things---but are now far too big.  I've bought a few new pair because I can't live without 634s.  I also just received a pair downsized by Railcar.  No diaper butt, proper waist, I really couldn't be happier.  They did a great job.

                                    I have this old shirt that I bought second hand from a member here about 7 or 8 years ago, so I don't even know which model it is, but it was looking pretty badly faded and needed some help. Yesterday I mixed up my natural indigo dye and breathed new life into the shirt. Good as new!

                                      Nice one, @seawolf.  I think I have the same denim in a western and was thinking of selling it.  Now I'm going to look into doing the same.

                                        I used  this kit https://amzn.to/2MZAlqd and it was great. Really great instructions and just an overall pleasant experience.

                                          Can't see that on amazon uk, but I did find http://www.wildcolours.co.uk/html/indigo.html.  It seems far too complicated, though.  I looked at their red dye and that was even more involved.

                                            Yeah, it's a little more involved than a box of powdered Rit dye, but it was fun and definitely worth the effort.
