didn't know if asked before, but anyone have an explanation ih-shirts get an blue/white or an black/gold tab?
is it the weight of the fabric?here you go gentlemen:
why does your have a gold and black label? I love gold and black label, mine has a white and blue labe. Just curious?
Well according to this pic from page 2 (IHSH-13 it is!) I think it's gold and black cuz it's a shirt of the first stock (?)…
...so I think G.and H. just changed the tag on the 2nd batch to white and blue!Correct, go to the top of the class….
so all in all i just think it´s the way a tag looks on a single shirt.
so if H. likes black/gold better than blue/white on a shirt, then that´s what is going to happen and what we´ll find on the final production run!…edit: see, i told you!

I went to a bootfactory today to discuss about custom Engineer boots.
They can do everything I want except to get leather I want.
Where to turn and what to ask?
I need leather like was used in 40/50's for engineer boots, horsehide or cowhide, I think it's veg tanned and aniline dyed, kinda leather that shows brown beneath black after hard use.
Would be grateful if someone can point me direction….

HTC is doing that style in brown or black, you can customize them as well. They're using the Santa Rosa name
and these boots are amazing, I've seen them in person. -

What does anti fit mean? I'v come across it during my extensive searching on the forums. Oh and what does trolling mean…I read it on sufu. Some guy claimed somebody to be trolling.
-
AHHH thats stupid it must be an issue if there now a term for it lol
-
Anti fit means it looks like you shit your pants (even without sagging them). Typical of 1930s and 1950s cuts.
Those might come in handy i guess lol and who exactly wants that?

The Self-Edge sale is terrifically tempting, 16ss or DC4001?
With the 16ss, SE says its raw and will shrink, IHUK says minimal shrinkage. The measurements of the (S) at IHUK are exactly what I need post-wash 16.6 Shoulder, 40.2 Chest.
I bought a secondhand 16 in a (S) and it was wickedly tight. So I have two questions:
1: Is the fabric for the 16ss raw?
2: Were different runs of fabric used to make the 16 and the 16ss?
-on the 16: "They have been pre-rinsed so there will be a little shrinkage, but very max of half a size."-Giles. -
from a functional point of view, what purpose does a leather front/back yoke serve on jackets/vests?
-
thewickett for sh!ts & giggles i will put my madmonday logic to your question. hopeful someone with real world experience & a knowledge of history will give a "proper" reply.
the leather front/back yoke serves as reinforcement and makes the item stronger in that region.
again totally based on madmonday logic so you know
-
yeah, that was my thoughts as well. Just wasn't sure if there was a more specific reasoning. Either way, madmonday logic is more than welcome.
