      @Chris thanks for the info and that's what I was hoping would be the case. Good gravy we have a cool community of knowledgeable people here.

      My biggest concern was that the shirt was selling for $117 and the same (?) shirt on son of a stag website is $288 (massively inflated from other websites like self edge). I'm assuming it's the same shirt.

      https://www.sonofastag.com/collections/buzz-ricksons/products/buzz-ricksons-usn-chambray-work-shirt-blue

      I had fears that the shirt would show up and i'd owe $160, which at that point, i'm buying IH. I'm getting this due to the fact that it was cheap-ish minus the GC.

        @neph93:

        … A $400 order from IH can cost me another $30-50 in import tax.

        Is that it for Norway?  Or does VAT come on top of that?  For Denmark, as a rule of thumb I have to add 30% on top of the price of goods from outside the EU… which is another reason I worry about Brexit and the future of getting merc from IHUK.

        I've lost track and lost interest tbh. I think VAT comes on top, but Norway being Norway, what incurs VAT is weird. Shoes/boots do not for example.  If you can pass anything off as being work gear then you don' pay. I arrange things as best I can to avoid the worst of it but I can't make head nor tail anymore. Some things come in with nothing, some things cost way more than I thought they would. I've stopped caring.

          I will try and not ask a stupid question, as it seems like i can't fail.

          I had no interest in these particular jeans (not my style), but wasn't there a pair of jeans with leather back pockets introduced in FW19? whatever happened to those?

            There was. IH International doesn’t take everything that gets released in Japan. Most things for sure, but one or two items are sometimes left out each year.

              this might qualify as a stupid question but here goes…
              when I get my 666s and my Wabash shirt---do I soak them before my first wearing?
              I read so many different opinions that my head started to spin.

                Both have been one-washed in the factory already, so there is no need…

                However, there will be a little shrinkage left in the shirt, so you may want to agitate it in hot water to try and get the remainder of the shrinkage out of it...

                    Hi all - considering my first 21oz jeans purchase. With one of the looser cuts, are these wearable year-round in typical UK/Northern Europe temperatures?

                    For example, I’m wearing some old Cone Mills fabric 13.5oz jeans today and it’s 22 degrees - the jeans were fine for a lunchtime walk.

                    thanks - Bill

                      I happily wear 21oz in 20-25C.

                        @Bill C second what @neph93 said, I happily wear 21oz up to 25°c, in-fact I sat in 21oz overalls in the sun all day at the weekend and was perfectly comfortable

                          The 21oz indigo selvedge is super breathable, fine for all year round in the UK.

                              It’s either very new or quite an old one. The summer releases of printed tees have been by order only for the last few years so not all have their own pages. If you search for “summer printed tee” or something like that you may be able to track down its lot number.

                                Probably not.  We do so many of them in so many different colours, we simply can't take them all/create threads for them.  I don't even know what the model number is…...Sorry

                                  I was wondering about a model number as well…did not see one on the SE website. It would be cool if maybe we could make a post topic that features all printed t-shirts. Is there one like that that exists or no?

                                      There is not, but as a group effort it would be fun. Everyone can take pics of the tees’s they own, supplying lot numbers where known. We can copy post from/link to, the existing tee threads, and build an informal, gloriously chaotic, woefully incomplete, catalogue. I love it.
