IH, On The Streets / Missed Connections

[Qinhan]

^  That is pretty crazy.  I wish I could find a like-minded soul at my office to discuss denim and other IH stuff.

On a somewhat related note, I have "false positive" sightings of IH gear on a semi-regular basis.  I think this is what psychologists refer to as "perceptual expectancy" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(psychology)

Basically, you're more likely to perceive things to which you are attentive or attuned or, in my case, those things which you are hoping to see.

A couple of weeks ago I was certain the guy that brushed past me in a crowded corridor was wearing the blue (cookie monster) IHSH-20.  I had to catch myself from yelling out "Cookie Monster!" as he walked past.  On closer inspection it turned to be just a regular blue-check flannel.  My intense interest in his shirt as he past by me drew an odd look in response.

On a different note, I still don't know who the guy was who came up to me in Feb this year asking if I was Snowy and was I wearing Iron Heart and he liked my pictures on the Forum. I assumed I'd get a PM when he got home as he's a reader, not an active poster. Have not heard. That blew my mind something serious. Was with my family at the time as well and had to explain being recognised by my jeans to my folks.

I had a similar experience once, while I was at DC4 Berlin with beautiful_freak and a sufu reader recognized us both. Not as surprising as being caught on street, but still…

Some weeks ago I met a guy in Hannover with a raw 666, we had a nice chat and I told him my Forum-name. I still wait for a PM haha

That screams "Japan". Not sure if they wear enough ropes and bags, though.

I think that style looks great on those guys, I would look like a prat dressed like that though (awaits insulting comment from Seul or G)
