@xtcclassic:

You're going to be pretty much spoiled on clothing from this point on. You're going to start looking for IH-quality everything. Underwear, socks, dressier work clothing like slacks and oxfords… Target and the mall just won't cut it anymore. Welcome to hell.

Yeah IH is a life changer. Makes you re-evaluate everything, always better for the long game. It's like an awakening of a form of consciousness.

I love my Wabash Western Shirt. So So Much.

(and congrats on the jeans, look forward to reading about them for many months and years to come ::) )

XTC,

Given that I pretty much have always hated clothes from box stores, I don't think I had far to go.While it's not quite comparable, I still wouldn't consider some of the pieces I have from Pendleton, Woolrich, and other vintage labels as cheap. If thisis hell, then I'm happy to have my passport.

Snowy,

Thanks for the welcome. Quick question though, is it faux passe to NOT post pics here? Pictures of me don't get snapped a lot, so I know it would take a more concerted effort to participate like so, and I don't know if I want to start asking the wife to snap pics of my ass. Not sure I want to get into explaining it all to her.

[Seul]

Some folk will always ask for fit pics (his name is Finn666), the others (the rest of us) don't care that much…

Just post and have fun... And enjoy your jeans...

Seul,

Gracias, I might occasionally throw down some, but I am pretty anti-picture so it isn't a guarantee.

[Snowy]

It's not faux passe, not at all :).

(FYI I mostly use self-timers on iPhone and Camera for shots. It took me a few months for the Mrs to slowly get into it, a year later she's got 2 pairs of IH jeans herself, and often offers to take my photo now)

Snowy,

Thanks, it would be so much easier to ask the misses around here just due to timing. If the misses isn't around it means I am likely flying solo with my kids, and you don't want to even say picture around my daughter, let alone get a camera out.

[Snowy]

I see. Relax and enjoy yourself as Seul has said :).

[jdl1279]

Snowy,

I am, there is a lot to take in around here, which is likely feeding the itch. While I know she isn't IH ready, I plan on gearing up my misses as well (she's game) so it's good to see others that might be able to help there too.

Daaaammmnn. Those are sick.

[pillowPANTS]

Holy shit dude. 10mons? Find that hard to believe. 3-4 washes per week?

[derivative666]

Dude that's pretty unreal. You could give Kybosh a run for the money. That's some serious wear. Construction Worker???

Believe PP ! These are work pants. Almost constant wear until I started getting "are you going to wear those". They still see 5 to 6 days of use a week in a Body Shop / Panel Shop. No soaks 6 washes

[Snowy]

I believe :). AMAZING jeans right there. Stick them in a frame, that's art!

[pillowPANTS]

Only reason i figured about 40 washes lol is because these were worn hard for about 9-10mons and washed twice
