People throw leather jackets in the wash machine. I don’t think a soak is the problem. After all, what would be the point of a jacket you couldn’t get caught in the rain in.
That and the fact that soaking helps breaking leather in/ molding it to your body (see also wet molding)

How frequently do you put your hands in your pockets?
It looks fine to me, by the way.

Hey Guys,
I have a size question. I want to buy a pair of Alden boots and since I never bought a pair before I want to get an idea on how their size runs. I am a 10D in Wesco's, Wolverines 1000Miles and Redwings, should I stick with 10D in Alden?
not sure if it's a bit late, but most of my boots from red wings to whites and aldens are the same size.. 8d in all. for aldens, it really depends on what model you're looking at because they have different lasts.. trubalance being the widest (usually on indys) and plaza being towards the narrowest end of it. if the model has a last that is on the narrow side, i'll recommending going 1 up in width and/or size too..

Hi @DickyGray . Iron Heart has never sold the 633 direct, but @kiya can let you know the Self Edge plans for that cut in various denims, it's definitely not been stopped.
-
IH International have never sold 633’s. They are a Self Edge exclusive cut. I heard SF were dropping the 301 cut, I didn’t know they were dropping the 633 too, but the IH website has never sold them as said.
There isn’t really an analogue cut. The 633 was a 634 with a taper from the knee down. The closest is perhaps the 888 in as far as they were both relaxed tapered cuts, but the high rise and fully tapered leg of the 888 marks it apart.
-
The 301 and 633 were both only available from there. The available cuts vary a little globally. Some cuts that are available internationally from the website don’t even get sold in Japan. Then you have the Pronto cuts made for Pronto in Thailand, although they do often show up here. Going further back there is the extinct Beatle Buster cut.
The 634, 666, 555, 777 and 888 represent the core jean cuts now, with some marginal cuts like the 461 and 1955 still being made, alongside those mentioned above.

Hello all!
The 633 continues to be one of the best selling fits at Self Edge across all the brands we sell, so it won't be going anywhere.
It's available now in TEN different denim styles: https://www.selfedge.com/index.php?route=product/search&description=1&search=633 -

After all these years not much has changed in terms of how much of an eejit I am… I can't find the AERO thread or non-designated leather jackets thread... Aero is now Simmons Bilt I guess?..
Anyway: daft question (as per usual)... Got my Aero Patrol Man jacket from G... It fits so fucking well... But: because it is new and not broken in, the shoulders stick out and look out of line... The actual outlines of the shoulders match with my shoulders, so it's not that... Just wondering what I can do to break it in even if just a bit to see whether it's in my head or actually a tad too big... Whether that's a normal thing (which I'm assuming) or not... I usually buy leather jackets 2ndhand... This was, technically, but unworn, so...

What's body filler supposed to feel like when it's fully cured? My first ever attempt occurred in 95F/35C weather and I suspect I didn't put in enough hardener in an attempt to increase my working time.
It's kinda tacky feeling; not sticky or soft, but I thought it would be different.

Are you guys getting an order status “awaiting customer response to query” no email received nor any message through the system . Checked the junk email folder and nothing from iron heart . Maybe a system error or the boys are busy and they just put out the note in the system:

Hi Mustafa
Your jeans were hemmed yesterday and will ship this morning. The status was miscliked to Awaiting Customer Response To Query as it is next to Awaiting Hemming in the drop-down list.
Questions like these are much better sent directly to shop@ironheart.co.uk or as a message from your order. If you don't receive a response within an hour or so, the only reason that someone has not answered you is that they are either too busy (in which case they would be too busy to check here too) or that the office is closed (as was the case when you sent your message yesterday). It keeps this community clutter free with customer service questions and allows the forum to be used for its purpose.
Thanks.
Alex
