      Thanks, @Matty123.  I just picked up on the pre-soak thing last week, never having done it before, but will do it in future.  I ruined a pair of CF 23oz blacks by getting streaks all over them a couple of years ago, but I wasn't struck on them anyway, so no loss, except to my wallet.

        And thanks to you too, @neph93.  The abrasion thing on heavy fabrics explains my 23oz fiasco.

          while putting the clothes in wet prevents the sharp creases.

            Where is the list of IH retailers? If I click the link in this page …

            https://faq.ironheart.co.uk/article/132/which-stores-sell-iron-heart

            ... it takes me back to ...

            https://faq.ironheart.co.uk

            ???

            Whoops, we recently changed the way we present the retailer listing and forgot to update the "iron Heart Stockists" thread.  I have done that now, but here you are:

                    …I've got to get my hands of some of this O.G. wabash, someday.  It's so different.  Always wanted the chore coat, but I don't think very many were made...

                    I borrowed the above sentences from another thread here.

                    What does O.G. mean?

                    The journey is the objective.

                        Definitely means original gangsta. Completely right. Used to mean original in many contexts.

                          I think Ice-T introduced this term with his song? Or at least brought it to the mainstream.

                            And here I was thinking I'd make a funny remark about being gangsta, but then it turned out to be correct… 😛

                            A question that needs an answer:  Why within the denim community do we "cop" things when we buy them?  I rarely see that term being used outside of denimhead-land.

                              Has IHUK ever considered doing an annual calendar contest to showcase artistic/quirky/fun photographs of Iron Heart products?  I enjoy entering the Spyderco forum calendar contest every year, and while clothing would probably be way more challenging a muse than knives to use for artsy-fartsy photography… it could lead to some interesting shots.  Plus, y'know...  Prizes are always good  😃

                                Interesting question. It’s used by sneakerheads too. Where I grew up in Liverpool it was part of the local dialect. If I was pushed I’d guess it was originally British English street slang and has snuck into international clothing nerd jargon via the interwebs.

                                  No, but we have done a few photography competitions and participation was really poor….

                                          Huh!  That's fairly surprising, given the obsession with clothing aesthetics on this forum.  Ahh well; cheers for the answer!

                                            Forgive me if i've asked this before but when you get a new IH stockist does the retailer reach out to you or does IH reach out to potential retailers? I ask because there are 3 retailers in my town that sell denim, but only 1 carries a spread of other Japanese brands like PBJ, Full Count, SDA, etc. I'd love to see IH represented locally but don't know if there are territorial things that are taken into consideration. Just curious how the process works.
