There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

[Giles]

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:

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

@Giles Perfect! Thank you

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?

@spacedans I will delete it.

Thank you

Hi, is IHSH-326-IND the same color as IH-666S-19L?

[AdamJ]

@Filson Not identical but not far away

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…

[Tago Mago]

@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.

[americanathreads]

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 ;).

[tody]

@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, I keep the chain stitch on the bottom of actual shirts though

[Rustygate37]

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