      My IHW-01's get compliments every time I wear them. Specifically the Charcoal because it stands out a bit more than the other two.

        People do seem to notice the W-01 a bunch when I wear mine as well, I've been wearing one a bunch lately. Now that I think about it, I have gotten a compliment on the charcoal one most every time I have had it on.

        32 red seems to be a close runner up.

          My IH-811's - Wabash painter pants…......It may be because people are stunned to see me not wearing indigo jeans, but get positive comments every time I wear them

          I've had people call them "special" or "crazy" not entirely sure if those were meant as compliments though …

            ^same here on heavy denim. Most people can't believe that these jeans are wearable.

            > I don't care what people say.. The Max Power way is the right way…

              I think the only piece I own that I've received random compliments from strangers about is my TWHRII jacket.

                A new part-timer at work once asked to me, "Are you wearing selvedge jeans?" as I crossed the main office.  When I happily replied "yes!"  she said, "You don't see those much in Berks County."  The county I live in has an interesting populace comprised of old school Pennsylvania Dutch on one side & one of the poorest & most crime-ridden cities in the States on the other side.  With a little bit of Jestre in the middle 😉    It still shocks me to this day that someone actually recognized a quality piece of denim.

                        Very true. I am surprised daily in that respect.

                            The laydeeez love the superblack IME. The shirt most of all. I remember Max Power saying that his grandma said it looked aristocratic; it does certainly make an impression

                              Philadelphia isn't that bad.  Well, ok, it is.

                                  A few of my best friends from high school moved there after college.  Too many nefarious activities to list.

                                  But, to bring the thread back on topic, I can second all the IHW-01 comments.  I have had at least a dozen people compliment me on the shirt and ask where to get it.  After I tell them how much it costs, they usually lost interest…

                                  Out with the new! In with the old!

                                    Actually, to update my contribution to this thread. A group of my friends were really impressed with my IHW-01, they thought it was an incredible garment, smart, well designed, well constructed, then I told them how much it cost and they stopped asking questions…....priorities people, priorities !!!!

                                      Yikes, I didn't realize it was that bad.  When you pass Camden, things are really rough.

                                        and posted this a while ok

                                        @rocket:

                                        and a funny sidenote, while doing the pics, doorbell rang, some delivery driver with a package, signed it, closed the door, back to what I was doing, a minute later doorbell again, same delivery driver, if he could ask me which brand the shirt was I'm wearing…  😉

                                        and one of the most liked things by random people seems def my Sinn U1 watch, at least ones a month, I get there a question about it by strangers…. crazy...

                                          I swear… every time I wear my 666OD someone stops and asks me what they are or compliments me on them. Then when they ask how much the cost I walk away cause I don't feel like sitting there for half an hour and explaining why I paid so much lol.
