Things That Make People Stop and Ask

I checked the website. Had never heard of that particular brand, though. Thanks!
I know the mechanism from IC! Berlin. Wonder if they are connected.
My sturdiest glasses are pair of gunmetal color Titanium glasses from, brace yourself, Wal-mart! I had some Zeiss glass lenses put in there. They live in the car so I always have a pair ready. The only problem is that they are so light and comfortable that I forget to take them off when I get out of the car.
I have had two people comment on my IH jeans after I told them about them. They touched them and both (pretty and very smart girls with exquisite taste) ridiculed me for wearing them. One said "Why would you wear a carpet?". They said they didn't feel good and were too stiff. They did like the fit though. We didn't talk about price because at that point I would have lost any esteem, I guess.

Till, you're too funny ! Seriously, though – every single human in my life thinks I'm a complete moron for spending $400+ on jeans. Nobody but nobody understands. That's why I joined this forum -- for sympathy and understanding ! My Mom thinks I'm stupid as well, but at least she agrees that IH jeans look fabulous on me.

Getting slagged for spending a chunk of change on jeans is quite vexatious really. I mean, the same person dissing you for frivolous denim purchases probably wont think twice about spending the same on: bullshit car modifications/nose candy/shoes made from string and chinese childrens tears/lifestyle groceries - delete as applicable.
As they say around these parts - jog on tosser.

Sorry to distract from the focus of this thread, but could we get a close up pic of the boots DougNg? It sounds like it might be a neat combo.

My apologies for "forking", as they say in Computer Science (starting a new topic within a topic). But hectic, I so-o agree with you. I don't even bother responding to these nay-sayers. I don't spend $$ on vacations (the London/Paris trip was a gift from Mom), eating out, drinking, facials, spas, makeup, redecorating, cars, bikes, etc…You get the idea. Aside from IH, I live a pretty humble life !

Almost always it's one of my many jackets that draw the comments mostly good, a minimal number of times ridicule and quite often awe.

Those look great, thanks for the pics! Do I spy some TAD wool hoodie action?

People have been proposing marriage over my new IHSH-08 Black Denim Western Shirt and IHSH-17 Lined Chambray Western Shirt. Seriously, I'm complimented constantly when I wear these [and I've been wearing NOTHING BUT these 2 shirts since I've received them….I alternate between them, day in, day out -- this is ridiculous so I bought two more IH shirts yesterday] ! People always stop to touch and feel the shirts. It's a bit awkward at times but these shirts are so striking that people can't help but notice ! A colleague of mine started "feeling me" in the middle of the company cafeteria yesterday, like, in front of the executives – it was totally innocent but his hands couldn't help it, he wasn't even aware he was doing it ! He was ooh-ing and aah-ing over the IHSH-08 Black Western shirt ! Guess who this guy was ? "Greg" of dragginjeans lore ! I told him, Greg, if you want this quality and beauty on YOUR body, you gotta pay for it man !
I believe Giles said no more runs of the superblack western shirts. Bummer ! I know lots of customers would grab em if another run were available. Giles, can you convince Haraki San ?
