      I tend to use Woolite Dark,which I think is pretty popular,especially if you’re using cold water.

        I’m looking for high quality slippers or house shoes, and I’m “meh” on most I’ve found. Brand in consideration are LL Bean, Birkenstock, UGG, and the like. Anyone have cool recommendations?

        Side question, why the heck are most slippers moccasins?

        I've always liked the look of the Quoddy Dorm Boot and some of the Glerups offerings. However, as a big footed man I'm usually relegated to your aforementioned usual suspects.

          Long story short : I got glue on my rough out wescos, tried to get it off but got stuck with some weird discoloration and an altered structure. Do you think this can be fixed or should I dub the whole leather to make it even again? Is there a tip on how to dub anywhere?

                What type of detergent do folks use for washing IH Shirts? Just a normal supermarket brand?  (Sorry if this is already posted somewhere)

                  Thanks for the tip. That’s a name I came across yesterday but didn’t dig into.

                  Bought Hot Ingrid’s hot feet a pair of Glerups for Xmas. She loves them., so do her feet.

                    Shop detergent is fine. I wash them how I’d wash any clothes, that is what they are after all.

                    The only exception is indigo shirts on their first wash. They still get a regular detergent, machine wash, but they get soaked first.

                      Unless you particularly want to dub them, I would leave it alone for a bit and wear them a lot. Regular wear will make the change less obvious. Also, have you used the steel bristles on a proper suede brush on it? That may get rid of dried particles and restore some of the structure.

                          I picked up a pair of the Giesswein wool tops.

                          https://uk.giesswein.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiArvX_BRCyARIsAKsnTxOVLolkaEOfT4xITLob5WDGtc82T_yVGOqeA78jSZX97TqIHyynaVQaAhEqEALw_wcB#discount

                          They are very soft in terms of structure. I wouldn’t describe them as high end but are well made and certainly do the job.  Appreciate may not be to your taste but Would certainly get another pair when these die as they are very comfortable and regulate the temperature of my feet well.

                            a lot of great options here. i'll dig into them all, with Glerups being the front runner so far.

                            Thanks everyone.

                              Big fan of wool socks. As a matter of fact its all ive worn for probably 20 years. Dress, sport, and boot. Was surfing the interwebs for a shirt and well, ordered my first wool shirt. Pendleton. 2x. Measurements “looked” ok so hoping it fits well. Excited to receive my 2nd major shirt. First being the Ciano Farmer custom selvedge.

                                  I've owned Pendelton Board Shirts and their Canyon shirts in the past. They're pretty nice and the wool is definitely warm. The sizing has been pretty consistent for me. They tend to run quite large. For example, I wear 3XL or 4XL in Iron Heart and the Large Tall Pendleton shirts fit me.

                                    My experience with Pendleton is similar to Palmers @mikebarhoot . I'm 6' 3 220 XL Long is about right for me.
                                    Have a look at Duckworth Sawtooth very nice wool shirts
                                    Their Snowcrest, a beautiful shirt I love, is 50% off now.

                                    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                                    Well, I have others.

                                      any more details about this? I'm assuming it's a Japan only item?

                                          Its been out for a few years, we never took them. We ordered one or two especially for customers and the sizing was pretty strage too
