      @flannel-slut After getting over the initial "washing will prevent the fades!" I tend to just wash as and when needed

      The devil is in the detail..

        My mother drilled it into me from a young age, if your shit looks dirty, or smells, wash it.

        Sage advice.

          For the most part, I do wash when smelly or dirty but come summer and yard work; I need to wash, literally every time. I’ve been moving some of these items that could use a wash into my “working in my workwear” pile before cleaning.
          However, still can not be bothered to wash behind my ears.

            If you're parting a crowd as if you're Moses at the Red Sea you probably need to wash your clothes or yourself more often

              certainly not moving these stinky items into the date night pile. BUT I may need to reconsider moving these stinkies into my "going through customs pile"... Moses and the Red Sea sounds like it could have major advantages

                Hopefully your washing with a good detergent, sometimes a stench has been known to remain in fibers after washing.

                  @ROman none of my IH gear holds much odor and does air out very well but will say my RGT ISC shirt gets stinky no time, like a super power

                    @flannel-slut since I don't live in a very warm climate I can stretch out the periods of "no wash" by hanging my denim outside in the cooler nights. Also my workplace has aircon. But I have never worn a pair of jeans longer than 100 days without a gentle wash. Even if they don't smell, they still get dirty or stained at some point

                      I happened upon an interview of Daniel Day Lewis and it almost looked like he had a Iron Heart shirt on. Can anyone confirm?
                      Looks like it had the western yokes in front but not in back

                        I doubt that. Small label looks out of place.

                            Hi all,

                            i´ve got a more genereal question.
                            How important is the shouldermeasurement if the chest size is correct ?
                            If read somewhere that you only have to take look at the shoulder measurement if the sleeves are very long or short in relation to your own measurements.

                              In my opinion it’s the most important measurement. It’s easy to see when the shoulders are too big and it’s nearly impossible to fix when tailoring. Shoulders are the first dimension I look at when checking sizes.

                              @goosehd please move this topic to the appropriate area in the forum.

                                Shoulder measurements are important. I do have very broad shoulders.

                                  Questions to the guys who like to expand the wear before washing as much as possible: what do you do when you have been sick? It's recommended to not wear clothes or use towels/ sheets again after sicknes, what do you do?

                                    @FlavourFade I’ve been curious about the same thing before and looked it up. Probably worth verifying, but something like Covid doesn’t last long on surfaces, iirc a day tops, and things like the flu for only like 3-4 days max. I’d probably wash my jeans because they stink a lot sooner than I’d wash em for fear of spreading a contagion, but who knows. Unless, of course, the stink is the contagion 😅

                                      @popvulture haha ! Funny you thought about that too. Yeah when there is smell I can't get rid off with a good old hanging outside over night a wash is needed. But good to hear that I don't have to be afraid of an unlimited sickness loop 😂

                                        I'm looking for my first pair of Iron Hearts, 634S in indigo or indigo/black, and see them new on ebay. Any tips or tricks on how to avoid counterfeit/fake Iron Hearts on eBay?

                                          There is almost zero possibility of a fake 21oz plus pair of Iron Hearts looking anything like a real pair of Iron Hearts....

                                          Look at detailed images of the suspect pair and compare with detailed images on the IHUK website.
