Same jeans but different shirt and jacket, as my 101J was being repaired at IHUK at the time.

Some details on my 555XHSib at the 500 wears mark:

Does what I was wearing in October 2022, according to Google Streetview, count?

I haven't looked or posted here on WAYWT in ages--sorry. But feeling bored, I was playing with Google Streetview, and remembered seeing one of their cars when I was biking around with my kid some time ago. So I found myself on Streetview, and just had to share with the Forum.

Pretty sure I'm wearing the lefty trucker, IH-825-IND, and Custom Wescos.

Fresh after a wash:

Great fit @Rangadello!

It's been a few years since I last ordered with UES directly from Japan, but this time I got hold of their hickory traveling shirt. Ordered on Tuesday, delivered to the Netherlands on Friday, pretty amazing. Very happy with shirt, and also with the handwritten card and goody!

@Hohba01 I just remembered Forum Legend @Filthy2123ozjunkie Mike shrank a blanket-lined CPO some years ago. See here and scroll for a little bit more: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//post/640828

Makes for some fascinating reading. Important to note that he did it to an 8 oz blanket-lined denim. This one's a lot heavier.

@aetherist indeed they are not.

I'm not a regular here but I was pleased with this one here:

Hiking in the southernmost tip of Norway, wearing the 247-IND and the 101J, on and off.

@northsouthdenimguy that's a really nice colorway too!

@americanathreads Yes I did. For the hickory shirt I had to cough up just over 50 euros on customs duties. Annoying but inevitable...

@CosmoSix5 I think it was mentioned here recently that this is one is only for the international market and not released in Japan. But somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Wow! Looks like one of those battered pieces scavenged from a California gold mine!

Faded by the sun....

The stats: 641 wears, 6 washes
