We did talk to their lawyers and reached an accommodation.

If that accommodation included a Naked & Famous like jean collab, I'm out for that one.

@Matt sorry… I failed to communicate irony in text format. It’s hard.

They’re up a tree in Rutland.

(Sorry, that’s a reference to a famous British comedy from the 80’s).

I guess that’s why this isn’t the Irony Heart forum.

That’s it for me… Good night everybody!

Shut the door and lock it please....

Okay friends… I’m still struggling with my 202-WHT… So I did the Oxiclean @neph93 and it worked beautifully (almost all the stain was removed)… but then I fucked up and tried to wash it with detergent. I rubbed in a little detergent on the last of the stain but now I have detergent stains on my shirt. I’ve tried soaking in water with Baking Soda, I’m currently soaking with dish soap… Has anyone had success removing detergent stains from putting too much in on a shirt? I don’t have a washing machine at my house, just a tub. So agitation is manual, I’m not sure if this is part of the problem. I could ask a neighbor for a wash if needed. One stain to another. I’d really like to save this shirt of possible. Thanks everyone!

@goosehd well done mate. I adore that show. Been with me since childhood and largely responsible for my sense of humour.

[goosehd]

@neph93 Love the Brit comedies and they shaped me as well. Black Adder, Monty Python, Fry and Laurie, Benny Hill, etc…

My Japan Blue Sashiko jacket got caught at some sharp edge and some threads became "loose" and created a loop (see below). I figured a short Q&A for this issue could be useful to those who could experience similar issues with e.g. their IH Sashiko shirt in the future.

What's the best way to fix the loose thread/loop with regard to the fact that the Sashiko fabric is seemingly weaved uniquely? My first thought was to poke a stitching needle through the middle of the loop and pulling it out on the other (inner) side... Maybe not the best solution?

[Giles]

That is exactly what I would do...

[ARNC]

@cityofdelusion my instinct would be much the same. I might first see if any of the loop will go back to its original place by applying gentle tension along the direction of the pull. Then I’d pull the remaining loop through to the reverse side as you suggested. Whatever you do, stay away from the scissors!

[cityofdelusion]

Sat down and made a tutorial video explaining how to fix a pulled thread / snag in (Sashiko) fabric. Hope it'll help others!

(Also produced my own soundtrack to prevent any music-related copyright issues )

@cityofdelusion nice one, funky beat too
