Where does everyone live?

[nate001]

Hey everyone.  First time poster, longish time lurker.  Compared to many on the forum, I am a relative newcomer to IH, but I own a western (155) a work shirt (170) and a thermal henley.  Wearing the 155 today in fact.
Also, I live in St. Paul, MN.

Welcome to the forum. That’s a great pair of shirts to start off with. Looking forward to visiting The Twin Cities one day.

The Hold Steady!  They do a great job cataloging Twin Cities geography.

Yeah, I’m a fan. Glad you caught that, I was talking to talking to a Minnesotan just yesterday, who hadn’t heard of them. She was older and stuck on Hüsker Dü and Seven Seconds though, so it was cool.

Surprised they are known in Norway.  I think the band moved to New York some years ago, so Minnesota doesn't pop up as frequently in their lyrics as they once did.  We're lucky to have a pretty great musical tradition here.  I used to live 3 blocks from where Husker Du started doing gigs.

Haha… it’s mostly just me, don’t think I’ve met another Norwegian who knows them. I’m British living in Norway, and  a fan of all kinds of punk and post-punk/indie. THS have definitely opened my eyes to a lot of stuff both old and new from the area. I was HD fan from way back though.

No it isn't. My wife's mother is from there and we visit regularly. I'll be there in the summer in fact. Lovely part of the country.

I live in the forest on Mount Akagi in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. My wife, daughter and I live in a log cabin. There is one other guy up here who wears IH jeans, he is Japanese, in fact he turned me on to them. I am from the UK, my wife is from Japan, and our daughter is half/half, naturally!

Hey everyone!

My name is Charlie, I live with my fiance in Albany, NY.

The last couple years I've gotten into raw denim, most of my collection is from Pure Blue Japan but that might be changing soon…. Recently I ordered my first pair of jeans directly from IH (IH-888S-OD) I can't wait to start breaking them in!

Hey Charlie, welcome to the forum. Great first purchase, I picked up a pair myself recently and love them. Let us know what you think.

My mom is Japanese. I moved to the US in '89 and have been here ever since (gah, i'm old), but I was born in Japan and lived there until I was 17. I'm a military brat – my dad was in the Air Force and he was stationed all over Japan.
