We had to replace our washing machine last month, the motor on the old one went after 9 years and pretty much got used every single day, cost us $400 and the repair bill was going to be $900 so a new one made sense
Cheap Chinese brand CHIQ cost $390 comes with a 3 year warrantyAlways front loader, used a top loader once since being in Australia and would happily never use one again awful things

@Mizmazzle I went with a speed queen front loader several years ago and it's been great.

@steelworker haha. Back issues and laundry machine talk…yup! Old geezer thread indeed.

Hey all!
I'm very new to IH stuff, I'm so new in fact that I've yet to buy any IH stuff but I'm trying to figure out which cut works best for me.
I've recently gotten my hands on a pair of engineer boots, Cordobes, so I figure I'd need 9" for the boots to fit. I've worn a Naked&Famous Easy Guy for about six months, it fits but it feels a bit snug? I'm torn between the 888's and the 634's. Maybe its just the stock photo, but i cant decide.
On N&F, my waist size is 33 but I feel I can work with a size 32.
-
@Chavi_LDV both cuts work great with engineers. 888s will be a bit slimmer but still fit wonderfully over an engineer. The 634 also works perfectly. More a straight leg so a bit wider. All up to you how you like your jeans to fit.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
-
@Chavi_LDV In my opinion, 634’s are the better pick of the two.

@Johnnyutah247 zippers make it easier to layer.

On me the 634s have a low rise, lower than 888.
Im6”2 190 and while I wear both styles I prefer the 888.
So if that doesn’t confuse you enough someone else will chime in to obscure the matter further.
Go by actual measurements and you won’t go wrong with IH. -
@goosehd I once owned an IH zip up and sold it because I MIs sized it. But it was awesome. I'm thinking zip is more versatile also.

@ShopatIronHeart there seems to be a new 21oz light black (634S-BK) denim in Japan, any chance you're going to carry it?
-
Are these coming to the UK/US ?
Introducing our new jeans! They're the classic 634 style, made with 21oz black selvedge denim, which I don't think we've ever made before! The warp threads are sulfur-dyed black, and the weft threads are off-white, so you can see they're not completely black by looking at the back! The sulfurization process fades the color in the same way as indigo, so whiskers and wrinkles show up perfectly! There have always been quite a few people who love black denim jeans that slowly fade to gray with wear. If I had to say, they're the same as the old Levi's black denim jeans... They just arrived, so they'll be in stores from tomorrow onwards, so please give them a try. I'll definitely buy them! I've always loved the grayish fade.
-
I specified that denim about 10 years ago. And we made the below out of it.
They sold really badly. Probably because I blacked them out. @Alex and I have been thinking of what to do with the rest of the denim ever since. I guess Harakai got bored of waiting

@Giles Will these be available to purchase?
We've decided to sell the leather slippers that were so popular at Wedge Leathers' workshops in irons. The slippers we're selling are a simple version without studs. They'll be available in stores and online at the end of January, so if you're someone who wanted them but couldn't bring yourself to wear them to Tokyo, please wait a little longer. We'll update the sizes and prices on Vostok before the sale begins, so please check. By the way, these aren't sandals; they're just slippers without heels, so please don't tell us that your feet hurt when you walk around town.

@Travis2375 I’m lost…where does it say 463? Those are 634’s that are pictured.
-
@goosehd My fault, 634 not 463. I was just wishing for 463
