Bib kinda day

Wore the cherry LS-16 to a holiday party recently and got so many compliments on it. Like unusual number of people I didnt know stopped me to compliment it and then go on further to ask where to get one. There was a photo thing at the event that was really the only pictures we grabbed. Here's just me and the jacket with my better half cropped out. Also cameo appearances from the 398 and 634XHSMB.

^ confirmation that there's a new cut coming in 2026 that will be XHS

the widths on mine has stayed stable from the beginning.
I recall loosing ~.5" in the lengths after that first wash and machine dry but it's been stable since then.

@Giles said in IHE-37-BLK - 21oz Denim Waist Bag - Superblack Non-Fade:

there were a couple of issues with this product that we had to fix after you asked the question

what needed fixing? can't tell anything wrong with mine

I kinda dislike front loaders just because of how little water they use for cleaning really heavy items like IH jeans or UHFs. There have been a couple of times my jeans have come out with visible dirt dried on the outside of them if I didnt aggressively pre-soak and rinse before putting them in the washer.

I think they make top loaders with a minimal agitator these days?

a handful more

been back for a few weeks after a few weeks in Japan and finally done sorting through the photos. We were pretty far off the beaten path for most of the trip, feeling like we had Japan all to ourselves. Here's just a very small handful of photos. Enjoy!

another agreeing comment
it wont stretch but it will mold and form to your body. The arm holes on this one are high and tight. Sizing up will be pretty big and only suitable for a layer of a hoodie or something bulky imo.

said in The Flat Head:

Any chance you've washed it and made a note on if it shrank?

just washed and machine dried (gasp!) mine
didnt take precise before and after measurements, but maybe lost an inch in length (exactly what I wanted and was expecting) and maybe at most ~.25" in width that im sure will stretch back with wear.

Dunno if there's a buco thread that this should go in instead?

Unpopular opinion maybe, black russians are better than white.
