@flannel-slut traditionally to attach a parka hood to the jacket, which we have never sold but I presume Haraki kept them in the design to be more accurate

…. Reminiscent of denim from the early to mid-1900s, this fabric is woven for us at the renowned Shinya Mill, celebrated for its authentic vintage-style denim. Woven under relatively low tension, our 18oz selvedge is looser and softer than some of our more modern weaves, resulting in a pair of very breathable heavyweight jeans that require minimal break-in time. Due to the slightly more irregular weave, you can expect character-filled vertical fading that emphasises the textured nature of the denim.

Has there ever been a rather short type 3 jacket made from left hand twill?

Thanks Alex.
Maybe the future will bring a shorter Lefty

Hello all - I posted this in the Shirt section, but wanted to add it here as well to hopefully get some further info:
I'm new with all of this. I recently purchased my first Iron Heart piece - a used IHSH-21-BLK Chambray Work Shirt in black. Upon receiving the item, I noticed a odor from the shirt. Not horrible, but it was bothering me so I decided to lightly hand wash it. I can still slightly smell it after a rinse. Which leads me to a few questions:
- Is this scent from the actual shirt? As I doubt it could be from the previous owner. I hear it could possibly be the black sulphur dye?
- Any tips on removing this smell?
- After the wash, the water was brown. I'm guessing it's just from the dirt of daily wear. Or is it from the actual dye?
- Would any of the dye from the shirt rub off onto my other layers?
- My version of the shirt has white buttons. Is it just a different variation of the shirt, as I see them with black buttons?
Thanks for any insight!

@deezy I have many IH shirts in all variety of fabrics/colours, and have never noticed any funky smells.
I did purchase one on the forum once that smelled awful, nothing a thorough wash didn't fix though!
I'd run it through a regular cycle if I were you, you won't get any shrink and with it being pre owned and (hopefully) washed at some point in the past, you wouldn't have to worry about much fading or loss of colour either.

- Why not from the previous owner (see 3)
- Do as @T4920 suggests
- Must have been dirt
- No if it is an IHSH-21-BLK, it is reactive dyed: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/4883
- If it is an IHSH-21-BLK they only ever came with black buttons, so they must have been replaced.
Edit: As per your other post it is an IHSH-46, hence the white buttons. I cant remember the dyeing method we used on the 46's, but I think it highly improbably that there will be any dye transfer....
