Random questions to which you seek an answer

Kinda popped into my head this afternoon when sending opinionated emails back and forth about Tanner Goods: where do you guys source your leather patches from? I just love how they age, etc., and wouldn't mind knowing more about them.

I don't know, and it's the sort of thing if I asked H, I'd get a non answer…...

Guess some things in life are best left a mystery

I'd like to create a WTB thread so I can track down a pre-side seam XL Iron Heart t-shirt.

Does anyone have any idea when the sizes of the shirts changed and when the XL t-shirts began to have side seams?

My only IH t-shirt (from 2013) is an XL and doesn't have side seams and measures about 47 pit-to-pit.

I'd love to find another. Because of my "personal idiosyncrasies" wearing a t-shirt with side seams is like almost torture. I can't stand it.

Do the 7.5oz XL’s have side seams? I thought it was only the newer 6.5oz fabric used on the 1610’s and their variants @Filthy ?

I shouldn't be surprised that you knew this. But it amazes me how much you know about Iron Heart. It appears as though you are correct. But unfortunately the ones with the "old town body" are all sold in XL. Maybe someone will read this and want to sell me theirs?  Or maybe Mr. Padmore can help a bro out?

@neph93 you are truly a legend

I may have a few old XL's - I'll look tomorrow…..

It amazes me sometimes too. I'm a dunce most of the time but for some reason details about IH and 80's post punk lyrics stick in my head  :D. Glad I could help.

Hey all,

I have an Iron to the Bone patch coming with my next order. My question is to forum members who have iron on patches:

Do these iron on easily with an iron? Or do you sew through them onto fabric? I would imagine sewing a patch through heavyweight fabric would be difficult…

[Jett129]

My local tailor sewed it on for $5.

Ours aint iron-on

Oh whoops I must have saw the word Iron and associated it with iron on  no worries though. Do people typically sew them onto their gear then?

@Jett129:

That is a smart idea- I have a friend with a sewing machine. I'll ask her…

[Giles]

Well unless they staple them, I guess so 

It's not too difficult.  Look what I did:

Oh that is a great idea to sew one onto a hat…I might just do that. Either that or I might want to try and sew one on my 19oz Lefty Trucker my patch is coming with.

[neph93]

I’ve sewn one by hand, but tend to let my local seamstress do it too.
