      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...  😉

        Aero and Simmons Bilt are separate companies….

        Have a shower in it, wear when it is damp, but not soaking.

        Or just wear the fecker, it'll give in eventually.

          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

                  Has the IH denim been treated with formaldehyde, as are most conventional denim jeans?

                  Iron Heart does not use formaldehyde in the production of any of its denims

                      I misread it at first, but I think Giles is saying that no formaldehyde is used in producing IH jeans

                        Often used in distressing and to give the jeans a 'fresh" looking appearance and also to reduce the tendency for the jeans to mildew in shipping and storage.

                          How and why are you always top of the list of people Strava suggests I follow?

                                    😃 😃 😃 😃 @Streetwise Hercules - as you can see, our lawn is a disaster!

                                    I love the fact that it shows me having gone awry with the mower going across the pond, through the wall into next door's garden and even into our house!  Somehow I don't think the Strava developers had lawn mowing tracking in mind, but it is fun.

                                      It’s unreliable technology @Madame Buttonfly
                                      I mountain bike locally with a few buddies and it’s as if the app can’t draw straight towards the end of a ride. It’s always the last few miles between The Greyhound in Aldbury and home.  😉
