Hi, I'm Andy, living in Duesseldorf, Germany, but about to change my occupation in the near future. I'm actually part time in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This because I'm with a girl from there (since 2010) and we will be married in a few months… Currently working on all this crap concerning immigration, visa etc.
Been a long time lurker here, but bought my first IH piece only two weeks ago, a 634S, which I consider being the best jeans I ever had! Before I thought my Momotaros and a 7FootCowboy were great, but the 634 is in a league of its own
my only hope is that I will be able to wear the 21 oz in Florida heat...So, if anyone should need info about German Rhine area or South Florida, feel free to ask!

Hello Andy,
As a guy who spent years in south Florida, those are going to be a challenge. Not impossible, but the adjustment might kill you.
Congrats and welcome
thank you. From my experience it's at least possible to wear heavier denim from October to March (at night).

Many commisserations…
No reason!!! Actually I like it there much better than here. Lots of good friends, nice weather all year long, good job opportunities. To be honest, I'm pretty much done with Germany… Can't wait to leave. Ok, the expectation to turn my long distance relationship into something better is a huge factor. Guess I would go anywhere only to finally live with my beloved one (ok, wrong, I wouldn't go some place without a certain level of hygiene and comfort) But for me Florida is much, much better than most other places. -

It's possible to wear them at 3 in the afternoon in the midst of August, it's the adjustment period and the need to wash the sweat from them that's difficult. I wore long sleeve shirts to work outside in the middle of summer, after a couple weeks your body adjusts and you actually feel cooler keeping the sun off your skin.

Correct. I spent so much time in South FL, from a few weeks up to almost half a year. After, let's say, 3 weeks you no longer feel the heat and humidity. The first time I came there (about 1985) I thought I could do nothing more than spend time in air conditioned places. Today I play tennis at noon
I even sported 15 oz Momotaros and RW boots… in November, at night.But my goto garment from April to October will still be shorts and t-shirt
Too bad I will have to work there, so it's gonna be appropriate clothes ... at least sometimes Anyway, I prefer this kind of climate any day over our 8 month long German winter...
