      @Djsfh:

      What is best way to remove tuft feom IH flannels etc? There’s not much of it, atleast yet.

      My girlfriend bought ”sweater stone” which should be better than tuft remover -machine, but I think that both just cuts off tuft from fiber so it will be worster later.

      Here’s some advice for using a machine. https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=833.msg524982#msg524982

      Whatever you do you’re removing fabric from the shirt. Personally I don’t see the need and have never done it with mine. A little pilling is just part of the aging process. Wabi-sabi and all that.

            Are there any differences between the original 127 and the V2? Is it possible to identify which is which? I bought a green 127 on eBay a few years back and I don’t know which it is.

              The arms on the V2 are longer.  Do a sizing compare…...

                  @Matty123 In fact I own both green 127 and 127-V2. the V2 has indeed way longer arms, but the fabric Looks 100% identical. This wasn't the case on the 72 and 127, though. Keep in mind that the arms of a V2 might have shrunken if it has been washed hot.

                    Thanks max, yeah there’s prob no way for me to tell. The shirt has been in my possession for 2.5 years ( didn’t fit me until now) and it was a few years old when the person sold it on eBay. It’s a xxxl with a sun faded sleeve sold from the LA area. Ring any bells for anyone on here??

                      Based on the fact you bought it in 2014-2015 and it was already a few years old, my guess is that is was a IHSH-72, not a 127.

                          The IHSH-72 is an awesome shirt for sure. I would kill for a green 72 in an XL. I had a 109 that was my favorite, but alas… I also like beer and out grew it haha [emoji23]

                            I have a xxl 72. Let me know if nostalgia ever gets the best of you.

                              @Max Power @Appfaff in your opinion, what are the differences between 72 and 127?

                                  I seem to remember Max and I were opposites - he preferred the 127 where as I prefer the 72

                                  No real reason aside from the way i was drawn to the shade of green and the way all the patterns matched up on the sizes I’ve seen

                                  I loved my 127 green, but the fit was never “perfect” for me.

                                  @DrBabyHorse - you know I am weak, don’t tempt me…

                                    @moto the green 72 has a  lighter green and shorter arms. Theyre not far from each other but i preferred the measurements of the 127 while the colour on the 72 was nicer imo

                                      72 is right underneath.

                                          If I had to guess on color alone. The shirt I own is the 72. 72 is underneath correct?

                                          Maybe so. Maybe not
