ULTRA HEAVY RAW - IH-1955-UHR, IH-666-UHR and IH-634-UHR

I always had the impression, that, ignoring the work vests, most IH gear is made with a 60-80s motorcycle influence, brought to a modern, heavier level. Type III vests, midrise straight jeans, m 65, Flannels and such show a way different approach to clothes, compared to early century workwear like Mr. Freedom, Duck Digger and Rising Sun or 50s influenced Flat Head clothes.
IH has never been accurate reproducing vintage cuts or fabrics, so I think suspender buttons and cinchbacks are not what many associate with the brand. i don't like that stuff too much and so IH has always been a good choice for me.

this is the inspiration I se in many of the products as well. As a matter of fact, early this mornig I was looking at some old classic B&W 1%er photos (a collection of Hell's Angels from the 60-70s era) that actually made me smile a little to see the coorelation between the line that IH has developed in comparison with what many of those guys were wearing back then. I really like IH's refreshing approach to vintage, they do it quite different than the rest of the pack, and i Love it

Yep. The IH aesthetic to me doesn't hark back far enough for cinch back and has a more pragmatic, understated ethos: buy pants that fit, wear a belt, and skip the cinches and braces.

What about the IH Western Shirts?
taa -
Westerns are Timeless. you can't really date them, where as cinch backs and many other forms of workwear currently beign produced are much more time/period specific IMO
-
Snap shirts got big in the fifties and really big in the seventies. I don't see that as going back beyond the IH aesthetic into the twenties.

Going back to the earlier to discussion about the 1955s cut,for what it's worth i just measured my 34 waist IH1955s up against my 34 waist 501xx LVC 1955's and the rise,front and back was exactly the same and the rest of the measurements seemed the same too.A true authentic 1955.I like 'em.

Good news. No, great news. So we can expect the denim to be as close to the original as can be? Just asking, because other brands often differ in their Lots.

Awesome!
