@mclaincausey - feel free to stop by and introduce yourself sometime if you ever find yourself in Boulder! I was actually talking about this with my roommates this morning. To be honest, I didn't even know this information until the results were already pouring in. Like you said, bravo to the opposition for not stepping there.

I stopped into Self Edge LA today to look at some Good Art Hollywood rings. I love the lock of the rocklock ring but my fingers are just too thin to sport this manly chunk of silver. If you have a ring size of 11, you should pick this guy up!
While I was there, I asked if they had the IHSH-177. I have the IHSH-178 in a large but always suspected I should have picked up a medium instead. Sure enough, the IHSH-177 medium fit like a dream. I ended up walking out of the store with the IHSH-178 in a medium and now I have to sell my IHSH-178 in large. So much stuff to sell…
I did notice that this particular IHSH-178 had silver/grey (not shiny) buttons compared to the copper buttons of my IHSH-178. Did those change between batches?
-
I think they overdyed them resulting in the silver color.
The buttons themselves are overdyed?! That's bananas! How does one overdye a button?? I figured the fabric was overdyed first then sewn together, buttons added much later in the process, so that the fabric overdye process wouldn't affect the buttons.
-
Jet's right- the overdyeing happens after the garment is made. It's a pretty aggressive process, with lots of heat, agitation, and chemicals, so sometimes the hardware changes appearance significantly.

Something totally unexpected happened today. I was having lunch and a guy walked by with big cuffs in his jeans. I noticed they were selvedge, so I glanced up to see what brand. He was wearing Iron Heart! This is the first time I've ever spotted IH in the wild. I was so stunned, I didn't even say anything.

I might be more likely to say something if they were wearing an IH top versus denim. I try to put myself in someone’s shoes and ask myself, would I be more weirded out if a stranger complimented my jeans or my shirt/jacket? Definitely the former for me [emoji848]
