Great to have you here.
Go for some jeans to give your Oni’s a run for their money. XHS or 21oz, or ID you are all indigo’ed up, something in SBG or OD

Only the one side of it though… [emoji848]

@neph93 yep was considering the indigo overdyed 634s. Not sure my tender legs are ready for UHS

I've been a member for ages (first IH purchase was 634s in 2016) but have only posted a couple of times. I feel like I ought to contribute pics, but don't have a decent camera and haven't yet worked out a convenient way of taking photos. But here's one anyway - new 555-01, worn for a couple of weeks since I picked them up in the restock. I'll put details in the product thread if the picture turns out to work…
As for me, I live in London but I'm from Manchester (can't state the first without adding the second). I love the friendly feel of this forum, and having been reading so long I feel like I know several of you fairly well without actually having joined in.
Edit: how can I make this image appear smaller?

Great fit on your new 555-01 @Yltas.

+1 they look great.
Regarding pics, I think the majority of us use phones or have done. To avoid mirror pics start using the timer and propping it up against something, or if you really fancy it a little phone tripod will set you back £20.
Good man for writing an intro, good man for the northern pride

Hi IH Forum
I’m JB. I live in Aarhus, Denmark. And I’m 44 years old.
I Got my first IH in 2018 when I bought my IHM-29-KHA jacket. After that 666-21, PHIXHS, 555-21 and now a lot of IH shirts too….and i’m totally hooked
I have some Tellason, Indigofera stuff etc. and that’s great too, but to me IH have that something extra!I been playing tennis for almost 38 years now and recently moved to a new place right beside my tennis club. It’s going to be a great summer on the courts. And a great summer to all of you guys
Can’t wait for that IHSH-177 19oz to drop
Great to be here.
JB

Hi All!
Lurked around for a minute after my first IH purchase a few months back and decided to introduce myself. I live in Seattle w/ my wife and pup and I do taxes (I know, I know…) for a large local company. I grew up a military brat, but WA state has been home for some time and I'm sure I'll die here.
My journey to IH: after college, maybe around 2008ish, (Go Cougs!) I set out to intentionally buy made in USA clothes, whenever I could. This kind of led me to heritage/workwear inspired brands. But back then I also had a lot of American Apparel clothes lol. I eventually heard the saying "Japan does America better than America". I was intrigued and started perusing the Japanese fashion mags at Kinokuniya bookstore here for more made in USA brands, oddly enough.... I was also led to the book Ametora, which is a great read. A few years back I got into Japanese brands finally. Now that I'm in a better financial situation I've been slowly (granted, much more fast during lockdown) replacing any fast fashion, cheap, etc with higher quality, longer lasting items.
I have a few IH pieces now and I know my collection will grow. I also love Freenote, Filson (duh, being in Seattle), Merz and other Japanese brands for loopwheel. Quick, crappy pic below is me in my lovely ihsw-41 and my AMAZING ih-803-wh. I love these pants! When not in my house slippers I'm usually rocking Birks, Vans or RWs. I also just picked up a fantastic pair of lefty 634s from the outlet. So another thing that brought me to IH was the abundance of wider fits. I love my heavy tapers (Freenote!) for my big thighs but I just want some wide fits also! And while my Dickies 874s are great, they don't age particularly well and can get a little stale looking in my wardrobe. Phew, sorry for the life story...but excited to be here and to have this forum as an excellent resource!
Thanks all! -Kenny
