Thanks! I thought about the soak and wear damp method but my jacket is perfectly fitted to me…any shrinkage would be a problem so I’ll just wear it constantly.

@nwills wear it every single day all day and even at night when you’re home and relaxing. You’ll be surprised how quickly it softens up.

As for the shrink if it gets wet…it should be minimal if at all if cold water is used. Don’t put it in the washing machine but just cold soak in the bathtub. The agitation of the washing machine is what causes the most shrinkage when a garment is new.

If even the smallest amount of shrink scares you…then don’t soak it dude. You may have to just not wash it ever. Which is something we have to deal with to maintain a perfect fit sometimes. Though that is rare.

Were there once product pages for sonder supplies products that will come back once the shop is back online? I wanted to add some pictures of the Trophy Ranger jacket as it changes

@Nik You could always post it here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/2983/trophy-clothing/184

So is Sonder Supplies coming back? My assumption was it was closing, which I thought was a huge shame as I enjoyed the brands/products on offer. Great news if it’s getting phoenixed

@goosehd thanks, did it

[Nik]

@jerkules the website says it is coming back soon

[jerkules]

Black Denim Shirt

As a fan I am starting to accumulate a nice collections of jeans, jackets, and flannels, and am ready to pull the trigger on a denim shirt. I am giving serious consideration to the Kersey, the Double Cloth, and 10 oz selvedge, and the Mock Twill, all in
Black all in Western. I am leaning towards reactive dye liking the less fading but maybe the overdye or sulphur dyes age nicely with some fades? Any recommendations to get me into a denim shirt…sooner than later

I think the Johnny Cash III (IHSH-218) is in your future

[les.l]

@chrisjohnnick that is a great choice, i just need another 3/4 or inch in the waist and that size is one of the few n/a

[Mizmazzle]

@les-l IHSH-33B was my first Iron Heart shirt and is a stone cold classic.

[pechelman]

So many great shirts, Johnny Cash, 33, but don't forget about the 293.

Does anyone have recommendations for boots in the price range between Red Wing and the Vibergs and John Lofgrens of the world? Style-wise, something along the lines of the 2030 or 1035 Service Boot

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago Might want to check out Zerrows as they have a fantastic offering and they are built really well.

[Mizmazzle]

@Tago-Mago Truman Boots kinda fall in between Red Wing and Viberg/Lofgren/Wesco price wise. They have a solid build as well and some interesting leathers.

Nicks Boots also has some really solid builds for a bit less than Viberg as well.

[CosmoSix5]

@Tago-Mago Truman, Oak Street Bootmakers. Truman offers some very cool leathers and occasional MTO runs.

@Nik @jerkules

Sonder Supplies has closed. The website was disabled during the party weekend so that we could just focus on in store sales, I suspect that it was forgotten about and has only just been turned back on when someone ready your post earlier today

I’m wondering: When IHUK does a pocket bag repair, how do they go about that? Do they replace the whole pocket bag, or just repair the hole?

I get chronic pocket bag separation on all my IH jeans. Where the bag attaches to the upper seam of the pocket. Wish I could somehow preemptively reinforce that area before the separation occurs.

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle I may be wrong, but they (IHUK) doesn't do pocket bags...
