I have a few spots where the lining of my fcl is coming undone. Is there anything I could or should do about it?

There was a thread on here somewhere on how to correctly sew the patch back on a pair of jeans. Cannot find it through the search function. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[AdamJ]

@tody could be this thread?

@AdamJ Yessir, thanks! I'll post pictures of my bleeding fingers in due course

Has anyone else in the UK had recent experience importing from Switzerland? My parcel (with an IH shirt in it) was last tracked as 'leaving' Switzerland on 18 March and hasn't updated since. I expect it is stuck in UK customs while they decide how much tax I'll need to pay, but I'm wondering how long it all might take to actually get to me?

@Alex
@Giles
found this on ebay , japanese seller .
never seen them , only for Japan or fake ?

[Oaktavia]

@Daniel-San curious

[Daniel San]

@Oaktavia
strange because it’s stamped 25MB instead of xhsmb

[Alex]

the Japanese made a product with that SKU, but I couldnt tell you if that pair was legit or not

[goosehd]

I took this from the Ironheart Japan website: https://ironheart.shop-pro.jp/?pid=150062261

[Fades for future]

@goosehd was also checking and found that too

@Alex When/who stamps the patches? Always assumed it was Japan prior to shipment, but I really don’t know.

[Daniel San]

didn’t know that they name them different.
thx Alex and Dennis
they did not look like fakes , but never see the 25MB before .

[Alex]

@goosehd the factory, but they don't stamp samples, and like IHUK, I am sure IHJP photographs their samples to expedite the product launch process. We usually notice when something is missing/has changed, but not always and I suspect that has happened to them here

[EdH]

It would be very odd for a counterfeiter to take all that time to get the rest of the patch right, and then screw up the stamp right at the end.

I am aware the Mad Black denim/dying process has been kept super secret, but has any new information surfaced about it? I have a pair of XHSmb and am super curious about them. Does anyone have a faded pair (or other weights) they have photos or could take photos of? I've been reading through "regular" OD pages and while the fades are miraculous, the denim itself just looks so different.

Finally, will there ever be any double OD process similar to the Mad Black or is it just IH history at this point?

What’s the best way to remove wax from denim? I fell asleep in the chair and was woken by hot wax my daughter tried to pick up hot tea light and dropped it on my lap.

[Alex]

@Oaktavia Lilley to be IH a history I am afraid mate

[tody]

@Gammaman Blotting paper on both sides, and then carefully melt the wax with an iron.
