Iron Valentine

First one of these... not sure if the upload worked?

What I would really love is the ability to buy a 25 year retrospective of the brand in book form as an additional product. Almost like a catalogue of the things you can no longer buy (and some that you can).

@DeeDee85 Totally. I would do the full product line and collabs. There could be grid pages to show the full releases, but then closer shots/full page/features on the game changing releases/grail items. It would be cool to feature them more as 'works of art'. The cool part is this community is a built in museum. If there's a piece that IH no longer has, but wants to photograph... chances are someone here does. It could be a community effort to catalogue and commemorate the first 25 years of the brand.

I just wish it was a CPO. I love mine, but wish I could put my hands in some pockets. Even thought about trying to put em in after the fact.

I bought mine from him a little big. They weren't MTO... they were a pair that another customer never picked up. I tried a few insoles, then once I found the right thickness... it was perfect. What I really love to call Brian for is re-soles. He has custom soles and can just take an old boot and give it a really fresh and exciting new life.

Definitely the dobby cloth CPO and Blue Sax Flannel.

The third is tough… maybe brown herringbone painters pants or one of the olive Baker pants?

I want to like the dobby mechanic shirt… but the CPO is just soooo much cooler.

Also, love that indigo herringbone? Wish there were more pics of the brown herringbone bakers… can’t tell.

Ok, that’s a lot more than three. My wife is gonna hate me.

I love the blue bomber and would prefer the lighter weight as I live in LA… but def can’t hayride as I bought the old one,

Thanks @gazza61 and @Kasi. I am kinda wishing I got the B... but the A is amazing too, so trying to tamp down that buyer's remorse.

@AdamJ thanks. I’m gonna go one the hunt for one. So you just leave that pocket unbuttoned and use the buttonneire instead?

No point risking destruction on a shrink

@goosehd not harsh at all. Trying to chart a best course of action. Think alteration might be best option

@don_pipone @goosehd Thank you SO MUCH. I tried shrinking some RGT Stantons last year when I lost the first round of weight and they became marble madness... couldn't bear to to do that to my 777's. Honestly debating taking this path or bringing them to Railcar to alter. Doesn't sound like there's much chance from a dryer after the OD process. Does putting leather conditioned on after the dryer help with the leather patch?

@Giles thanks. Now to pick which jacket gets pimped with snaps?

@goosehd thanks so much. Any temperature matter? Lay flat or in a bucket? Also, just out of curiosity, how/why does soaking prevent the vertical fades (which I hate)? Thanks so much for all of your wisdom.

@goosehd Interesting... how long do I need to soak them before washing? Will hot dry do anything? Thank you.

Hey Team. I bought a pair of these six months ago... and love them. Only problem is that I've lost just enough weight... that they're starting to get a bit flappy. I want to hot wash/hot dry them to try and shink them... but don't want to make them streaky (haven't washed them yet). But also not sure it will even work as doesn't the OD process remove the shrink already? Thought... they've prob loosened up from six months of wear. Sorry to ramble, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What? Thank you!!! Will you please let me know closer to the date... so I can jump on it? Also, team question... should I put GA Snaps on the D-shaped patch pocket my navy lightweight N1 OR on the side pockets of my lightweight blue bomber? Also, gonna do some shirts etc, but can only afford to do one jacket.

Thanks so much

@Alex Just checking if there was any updates on the buttons and larger snaps? Thanks
