Looks like it’s from being washed inside out then dried with a slight crease. Maybe try washing it outside in next time. It won’t hurt them.

I feel like it’s just the price of doing business for machine washing my jeans. Those creases are getting set in the wash.

[goosehd]

I always turn my jeans right side out after the wash while they are still wet.

I’ve had this happen several times using a washing machine — my theory is that the jeans just flatten out when they’re being tossed around the washer and this crease forms. It annoys the piss out of me, so it’s yet another reason why I hand wash with detergent in the tub.

[Daniel San]

Think the theory that the washing machine does it is the answer to this problem.
Will use the special hand wash program next time and see if there is a difference.
We don’t have a bath tub , only a shower. So hand washing is no solution for me

I noticed some indigo transfer around the waistband on my 735s in a couple of unexpected places. See pic of very top of front pocket (not that clear but the easiest place to capture).

I’m not bothered by this, just curious. Based on the location and what I’ve worn with these pants, the most plausible explanation is that my belt has acted as a vector, taking up indigo from my jeans and releasing it into my 735s. Is indirect transfer a known phenomenon, or does anyone have a better explanation?

[sabergirl]

My belt leaves indigo on everything! Unless you’ve been wearing a denim or indigo dyed shirt with your pants, I’d say that’s the most likely suspect.

[Matt]

Same.

Thanks @sabergirl @Matt!

I’ve been around here long enough to know that @sabergirl is pretty much always right about everything!

Yo tell that to my wife, @ARNC

Does IHUK dictate the payment types on PayPal….the reason I ask is the option to pay in 3 payments (similar to klarna) is not an option and I’m sure it used to be?

[AdamJ]

@bryaneidins70 I have just ran a few tests and I'm able to pay with PayPal Credit or PayPal (standard) the "Pay in 3" option wasn't visible. This is not something we've actively enabled/disabled and from what I've read should be available as standard with PayPal checkout. Some mentioning of the service not being offered based on product so I'll continue to investigate and let you know.

[bryaneidins70]

Strange…just tried it through the sonder site and it was an option. The only difference is my payment option through the iron heart shop defaults straight to my PayPal address and one click and it’s bought.

Any alchemists out there? More specifically, anybody ever successfully change a silver colored belt buckle to gold? If so, could you share suggested materials and process?

So I was notified that the jeans I want are back in stock. This forces me to ask a question regarding hemming. I am on the shorter size (5' 6"), so a 36" inseam is way too long for me. I always cuff my selvedge jeans, but I have typically had them hemmed first. I wasn't too sure I should do that with a new pair of Iron Hearts. I typically get my jeans hemmed to 30.5-31" which gives me a small 1" cuff. I am good with a taller cuff, but I have no idea how I would cuff 6" worth of fabric. I need some advice here. Should I order my jeans hemmed and then cuff them, or cuff them as I get them? And if I am to cuff them as I get them, how do I best do that?

@JasonT Maybe getting them hemmed to 31.25 or 31.5 would give you enough wiggle room to allow for any shrinkage, and still give you the amount of cuffing that you’re used to.

Ask the crew at shop@ironheart.co.uk. The answer depends on what denim you are buying

[JasonT]

@Giles The jeans in question are 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo.
