A question for @ShopatIronHeart - do you stack these buttons?

My whipcord shorts have the top button sewn on, and I'd like to know if these could be swapped out.

We have those in stock, yes....

@sophisto000 21oz SBG will be restocked this year, if that’s what you mean

@Alex Hi Alex, I remember the SBG 888s release for Aug., but was wondering if any double sulfur dyed (warp & weft) would be coming out as well, since that fabric has piqued my interest since it came into my awareness. Thanks!

I bought this shirt from eBay. Its a IHSH-330-ODG 9oz Raised Whipcord.

On the ebay photos it didn't look that bad and thought it just needed a good iron, but in hand it has noticeable white crease marks. It looks likes its been washed and left at the bottom of the washing pile. Its a shame as it's a nice shirt and a great fit for me.

Does anyone know if I was to dye it at home it would cover these marks?
Is there a colour that would work best over green?

I've never dyed any clothing before so have no idea what I'm doing, but I read somewhere its relatively easy with a Dylon pod in the washing machine.

Any advice appreciated!

@ironmind I would just wear it often and wash seldom. The creases will fade with time.

@ironmind you can easily overdye it with some DIY machine fabric dye and they should not be visible anymore. Don't know where you're located but e.g. Dylon should be available in most places. Get the shirt fully soaked in water before.

@Travis2375 they've got a lot of shirts I'm waiting for lol. They've even used IH own photos. How is this not closed immediately. Crazy!

Looks like they listened @CosmoSix5

@endo Thanks, I have ordered a Dylon Olive Green, and will see what happens

@NickD Looks like its back up - at least that fraudulent site is now working for me...

I second this...but do as thou wilt.

Not sure where this post belongs so please move if necessary.

Wondering if anyone has advice on how to fix this collar. I've tried ironing and starch and nothing works. Not really sure why it's not the same thickness as the rest of shirt but any advice would be great. Thank you

[Matt]

Maybe try placing the iron or a heavy flat object on it for a few days when you’re not wearing it to see if a crease forms. Otherwise wabi sabi.

Get it wet and iron it.....

Yup. Good advice in many occasions

[Jett129]

@HalfPastNever And if at some point,because it’s too warm,and you’re not wearing the shirt,hang it up,buttoned up.

Anyone got recommendations for chino-style shorts in navy/khaki/olive? Along the lines of the IH West Point shorts

[jordanscollected]

@Tago-Mago UES makes some nice shorts, but maybe not as clean of a look as you are after. https://japaneseselvagejeans.com/en/collections/shorts?srsltid=AfmBOoosDG5hHOlnDImGzzWnJCRYQ5lyjtUBdnND9VUbQO8fCp01L9n9

[Tago Mago]

@jordanscollected I did look at UES and I do like their polo shirts for example. I’d like a navy pair, which they don’t offer at the moment as far as I can tell

[jordanscollected]

speaking of shorts, here's a random question. Who is the target market for these?https://www.selfedge.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3751&search=shorts

Maybe I just need to be rich to understand $1200 shorts (or Rick Owens style in general).
