@Travis2375 I will tag @ShopatIronHeart as the guys are only sporadically on over the weekend.

[Travis2375]

@goosehd Thank you

What is @ShopatIronHeart ? or who is that?

[goosehd]

@Travis2375 It’s the IHUK staff member on call for weekends, after hours, or during normal operating hours when we need to bring their attention to a question or concern.

@goosehd Thanks again

Re: Random questions to which you seek an answer

Hey there —

Huge IH fan. Own the 21oz 666- indigo in a size 30. Had them two years. No rinse / no wash yet. They look sick.

Would like a par of 25oz.
What has everyone done with sizing?
The 30’s are big and the 29’s look correct on paper. However that doesn’t take into account any initial soak shrinkage.

I’ve yet to rinse mine so not sure how much to account for here

Any thoughts? Also want opinions on the SIB denim please.

All replies welcome. Let’s hear it!

@shuggs the consensus for the 25oz is to size them where you want them afterwards. while they shrink with the first soak and wash, they'll stretch out back to where they started. so if 29 looks go to you on paper, that may be the size to go with. And as always, ask the crew for sizing advice with your order!

N1 vs A2. Is the N1 really THAT much warmer than a A2?

[AdamJ]

@Blackgrass @Alex owns one of each, he'll be able to tell you!

[Alex]

I actually don't own an N1 any more, but I recall it being noticbly warmer than my A2, yes

How long is given after an item is delivered to make a return?

Unless I am mistaken this isn't stated in the return policy section of the website.

[Tago Mago]

@hjl360

It’s on the product page, but not in the return policy as far as I can tell. @AdamJ can this be updated?

[AdamJ]

@Tago-Mago @hjl360 probably useful information to have in the returns section I'd say.......

[hjl360]

@Tago-Mago ah! Knew I'd seen a number somewhere. Thank you

Having never owned a pair of boots with exposed stitching on the sole before these, unsure if I should be concerning about these stitches perishing after a month of wear.

Will it pose any risk to the structural integrity of the boot?

[tody]

@T4920 nope, that's normal.

[NickD]

@T4920

It's normal - the stitches should be lock stitches and there should be plenty of glue in there.

Are they genuine Dainite soles? I've never seen a pair that worn after only one month, you must walk a lot!

[T4920]

@NickD yes, dainite on a pair of Tricker's boot from Rivet and Hide.

I walk roughly 15-20k steps a day.

I don't understand why people say 'dad jokes'. We were already making jokes like that when we were 10.

[northsouthdenimguy]

They’re not dad jokes. They’re evolutionary proof that shame dies before we do

[Jett129]

@endo Bescause in their current incarnation they’re used by Dads to deliberately annoy their children. You can tell how well the joke did by the resulting groaning and eye rolling. Why can’t you play cards in the Jungle?…Too many Cheetahs! Sometimes they also contain a clever play on words. What did the ocean say to the beach?…Nothing,It just Waved. Probably more of an answer than you bargained for.
