                  Following on from @T4920 asking for a wabash type 3 - if full denim is a Canadian tuxedo, what would/should full wabash be called?

                        @Tago-Mago use your new mod powers to influence the powers that be to bleach some dotted lines all over a nice t shirt? Then we wouldn't have an issue 😆

                        This actually just reminded me of a new product Giles told me was in the pipeline in Hamburg last year... I think you might have been there at the time too...

                        I'll keep quiet, but hopefully it is part of the FW collection!

                          An actual question, before the conversation drifts...

                          Would the crew 'hem' the sleeves of a long sleeved shirt, to the typical short sleeved length for a customer?

                          Need to pick up a summer shirt, and the 10oz work shirt with tonal stitching that's sitting in the outlet is calling me..

                                  @T4920 It's not something we've done before. We're not really setup for full blown garment altering in all honesty. We have the means to shorten bottoms of course but I think once you go down altering sleeves, it becomes a much bigger job

                                  The devil is in the detail..

                                    @AdamJ that's understandable, I'd never ask for minor sleeve/cuff length alterations as that's obviously a specialist job for a tailor.

                                    Just thought LS to SS conversion might have been possible as (in my mind at least) it seems like the same process as hemming a pair of trousers, and I doubt it'd be a common request.

                                    You can blame @Kasi for inspiring me with his recent SS denim shirt conversion 😆

                                        @T4920 I had a long sleeve shirt converted to a short sleeve shirt by a local tailor and it was an easy and inexpensive fix.

                                            Hang or fold? Waffle, Kersey & dobby IH shirt storage

                                            I feel like this is a question that is either very obvious or has already been answered a million times, but my Google and forum search skills have failed me.

                                            How should I store my Iron Heart shirts?

                                            Specifically, I'm wondering about the best way to stash these fabrics without stretching or creasing them:

                                            Waffle
                                            Kersey cloth
                                            5 oz & 12 oz dobby cloth

                                            Should I hang 'em or fold 'em?

                                            I'd really appreciate any advice from those who have experience with these specific fabrics. Thanks in advance for
                                            your help!

                                            Cheers
