With all the heavy red buffalo check shirts why is the number changed? Shouldn't they all just be ihsh 20, kind of the way the 13 or 21 is?
-
Because they're not exactly the same. Typically, if a detail, however small, changes, it is given a different model number. The N1 changes model number each year because it get's tweaked. Each iteration of the red/black buffalo changes, hence a new model number, but I guess you knew that…..
-
Didn't the 21 change from having the button things on the back & the selvedge ID?
Either way thanks for the response

Overdyed chambray. Other than the green/orange has there been another?

Good point @madmonday . I can't remember if the 21 was the one with the buttons on the back, but that was a bad experiment and maybe H did not feel the shirt was actually that different and maybe the same with the selvedge ID, all he did was change that selvedge ID yarn. But ultimately, I guess the real answer (and this is not being rude, just an observation), there may be no real reason at all, it is a national characteristic that the Japanese do have a tendency to over complicate things that don't need to be…
My favourite example of this tendency to over complicate and worry about things that may not happen, and I take the piss when it happens, is sometimes when I ask a question, there ensues a heated discussion/debate between my Japanese colleagues, during which time I have time to make a cup of tea, make a few internet purchases and hem a pair of jeans. Sensing that the discussion is coming to a climactic end, I concentrate and wait for the answer. It's invariable just one word - "yes".

I'm a total boot noob! I wear Adi Dasslers finest three stripes whenever I can, then I've got an old pair of generic steel caps for working in and an old pair of donated hunting boots for hiking/cabin trips and so on. The only casual boots I've got is a pair of black, lined Clarks that cost about $200 that I've had for autumn/winter use the last three years.
I'm painfully aware that I need to up my boot game. I'm not quite ready to splurge $800 on some of the badassery available here. I'm just not sure I love boots that much (yet). So I'm thinking something more "entry level" that cost around $400, like Red Wings or Wolverines. They need to be able to tackle rain and not be useless in ice and snow. Lining isn't a must as woollen socks are boss.
Here's the question: Based on the above, which boots should I buy?
Definitely consider Oak Street Bootmakers if you're heading down the $400 path. I have a pair of rough out service boots that look and fit beautifully.

Thanks for the tip.
I ended up taking the golden middle way and got a pair of Viberg/IH collabs 2nd hand from a forum member. The IHVB-03CT. They happened to be the perfect size and the best boot for the conditions where I live. Synchronicity is a sexy mofo.

@Giles which socks that you sell are the warmest?

The IH ones are cushioned and heavy, but I think the L&L are the warmest

Any ideas???

633s-ii for the jeans? I really love the 633 cut. Slim, but roomy enough to be comfortable and that indigo-indigo looks awesome.
