      Did I just partially ruin these ducks by ironing the outer serged seam set on the "cotton" setting? I was ironing normally, moving constantly and not dwelling. Before I knew it I was smelling plastic and saw shriveled thread.

      This is pretty common for me to iron jeans coming out of the washer/dryer since it usually ends up flattened.

        That is the poly in the polycotton melting, there may be enough integrity in the stitch left to be OK there may not - time will tell...

          @pechelman I get this is really annoying but I think you’ll be fine (I’ve made similar mistakes, although not with IH stuff so far). The main seam may well be ok and if you spot any weaknesses it should be easy enough to fix with a few stitches.

            Thanks guys. Some of the thread completely melted as if there wasn't any cotton or it also burned up. Pretty surprising with how fast this happened. What's really annoying is that the only reason I normally do this is because that double layer of fabric usually pinches me knee when bending; now I'm left with a bunch of spikey plastic bits that's kinda abrasive.

              Sorry, maybe the thread is 100% polyester, As @arnc says, the main seam will be OK.

                            That's what it sometimes says on the cardboard back pocket adverts of the jeans. Is that an inside joke?

                              @RobeOfTheMagi It may be one of those quirky Japanese to English translations that we all love.

                                      I’m really curious how the following chart/data is useful for the Stubborn Crew. It only gives them circa 6 days of advance info on item launch, so obviously not a useful predictor for production purposes. With that confusion in my head I have been lax at answering NO/MAYBE/YES, do it only sometimes even if my decision is already clear on said item.
                                      Are you comparing ‘week old customer purchase intention’ with actual purchases?
                                      Are you ramping up IHUK internet bandwidth if a mad rush to buy is foreseen to avoid website crashes?
                                      REALLY CURIOUS.

                                        @motojobobo Made this post last night in another thread:

                                        @goosehd said in IHJ-130-BLK-NP - Reversible Tanker Jacket - Black:

                                        @A-eye-Kev From what I read the other day, it’s not really used by the IHUK crew. It is a feature that was added to this platform at the start of last year, and something that may be used to gauge interest moving forward as more people start to use it.

                                        Could be one of those right tools at the right time kind of things.

                                            @motojobobo It’s not and good question to be asked. It does allow the crew to post the items on the calendar which is helpful for people to see at a quick glance what days items are being released.
