I’m aware of a few. I just figured they did it themselves but I never tried so I don’t know what it involves.

[tody]

That‘s indigo duck, innit?

[yannis]

Looks like it to me also

[Oaktavia]

@tody looks like a pair of IH-816DD.

[tody]

[Giles]

Anyone know where to buy YKK Permex L snaps?

I want to move the male portion of the snaps on the cuff of my 427 in order to shrink the size down so they don't slip over my hands, but I'm having the worst trouble finding anyone that sells genuine YKK Permex L snaps. I have the tools, ability, and will to do the work myself. I just need the hardware.

[Giles]

Pretty sure we have those here. @Bailey ?

[NickD]

@Go-For-Chill @Giles I’d be interested to know a source as well, my IH wabash shirt does the same thing.

@Go-For-Chill @NickD @Giles We do indeed hold some spares, please email us at: shop@ironheart.co.uk and we can help you out!

@Giles What will it take to lay my hands one of the IH/Moon Eyes Collab Hoodies? Apart from jumping on a plane and going to the Hotrod Show this weekend?

So i finally found the answer. A 4 year wait and a lucky score on 2ndStreet in Japan.

What is the thing I should be paying attention to - be it a measurement, cut, material - that will help me know in advance if a shirt or jacket will pull significantly at the back when I cross my arms or reach forward? Hope that makes sense.

I feel like I have jackets with very similar measurements and some pull and some don't. Like this season's storm rider jacket. I exchanged a 3XL for a 4XL, and both the shoulder and chest measurements are larger than what I typically wear, but it doesn't fit comfortably and feels tight.

@corralitos Crossing arms actually from „h to c“ ( ytx, rigthandonlefthandle or what you call it)?

Was never a problem to me with this Brand.
We get a lot of information in here.
As you said:
Movement is about fabric, cut and measurements….

Searched, scored and lost negligible over the years ;-).

But biggest movement provides the IHJ-24 „First Zip“ to me.

Maybe not entirely IH related, but since IH is exhibiting... this event is invite only. How does one go about getting one of those? Would that be even remotely interesting to somebody not in the industry? (lifted of Samurais IG)

@tenuin Please see here: https://y-2leather.com/en/blog/209?srsltid=AfmBOooRhYbDuW45xGyKlKv0cZY3h3YwxoRvA1zWKF13r_1ck57-b8Li

“ The Union Showroom is a three-day event where brands spanning fashion, interior design, home accessories, art and more, all gather in one venue to showcase their collections. Only about 130 brands are accepted as exhibitors after a rigorous screening process, and buyers, who also must be registered and vetted, must have an invitation to attend. Not even the most renowned buyers can get in without approval.”

[corralitos]

@Aetas, yeah, anything with shoulder gussets is a huge win. Wish it was more commonplace.

My Type II (IHJ-507-SLB) is probably my favorite fitting jacket that doesn't have this construction. I have one IH jacket with gussets (IHJ-144) and maybe everything else is just a try and see type of thing.

I had never seen this tag on the right, from my new pair of 888 17oz. Is it a newer type or it just varies by item? Curious

[J-IV]

“This is so well-made, the more you wear it, the more comfortable it becomes.”

What a line. Something I could see Don Draper having an epiphany over.

[Ross]

@gneicher just varies by item, I believe this tag is exclusive to the 17oz 'N'
