Do you see any changes coming to how the Japan-side of Iron Heart does business? More offerings in line with the International side? Increase in price? Closing of shops?

@FlavourFade said in UES Clothing MFG .CO.:

Anyone has experience with the UES oxford shirts?

Have the one in light blue. Has a greenish hue that I have not seen in other comparable offerings from other brands.

The fabric is like nothing else I've seen in the market. Heavy and full of texture.

It will shrink a little after washing.

My only complaint is the pocket. It feels way lower than it should be. Otherwise, I really love the shirt.

@Rustygate37 The allure is hard to resist. I recently got the 19oz Self-Edge-Ironheart collab OD CPO but it is a little shorter than I would like. If the measurements on the 409 are better I might try to grab one.

@Oaktavia NO! I need more people to tell me not to get it! For the sake of my marriage!

@rahrah12 I'm definitely interested. I love the look and color.

Hopefully the rambler jackets get all the attention and there isn't a rush for the Guthrie shorts.

@Chibs Pretty sure that the shirts are made from this material: https://bansyo-fabric.com/products/sashiko-fabric-by-the-yard-kendo-fabric-sashi-ori-alternative-version-sashiko-weave?variant=43694665859355

@NomadCrow thanks from me as well, the diapers say you’re a busy guy

Gotta be prepared! Never know when a disaster may strike.

@weftyarn are you still using this as a camera bag? If so, would you be willing to take a picture of his you got it loaded inside? Did you find the zipper a risk to scratching anything?

Not the guy you’re asking, but here is how I have mine configured/what I can carry. Pretty compact ASP-C camera and 2 spare lens. Microfiber cloth, small camera cube, and diaper-changing supplies (for Dad duty). Sometimes I also have a hand-towel or small notebook in there as well. I think you could carry a full frame camera and prime lens pretty easily, but might get difficult if you have a large zoom lens.

@Giles The car you were in takes “Regular” gasoline and the cover says that ensuring that the right fuel is used. It also signals to other attendants that you have been helped and are being serviced by someone in the team.

@Alex Is this the Iron Heart museum? Where pieces are stored for preservation and safe-keeping?

I used to live near Machida pre-covid (now I live in Okinawa) and would spend a lot of time in Tokyo. I really liked the SG Club near Shibuya. A very classy place to get a nice cocktail.

A few years ago my wife and I took a road trip and stopped in Kojima. Really love the atmosphere of that town. I’d like to retire somewhere near the Seto Inland Sea.

Where do you guys go when you come to Japan? Hachioji? Osaka? Okayama?

@AdamJ I didn't expect / need this temptation this season!

You could always try the Fanya method. https://supertalk.superfuture.com/topic/144198-heavyweight-denim-championships-2013-2015-official-thread/page/118/#comment-3030220

What is the expected shrinkage on this one?

Can’t decide between these and the 19oz Lefty as my next pair. I’m rocking a pair of 888S-21 right now. I really enjoy them, but the fabric is so comfortable that for my next pair I want something closer to the “heavyweight raw denim experience”.

@the246guy Did those shrink at all? Did you have to go up a full size? I’ve been eyeing those as my potential next pair of jeans in a year or so.

@Tago-Mago Following your advice, I was able to find a XL at Withered Wig. It'll be a a little Christmas Gift for the wife to give to me.... Cheers!

@JoshC Thank you. I appreciate the update.
