      @IronFart if you have other non IH denim, maybe do a test run.  I tried to bleach some Levi’s once and it was a disaster.  I’d hate to see you learn from a miscalculation with your od’s.

        Who makes a good house shoe? Like some slip ons for wearing around the house, but not slippers with no back because I'm always uncomfortable with the flopping around.

        I tried this but the back wouldn't catch on my heel so they were floppy: https://huckberry.com/store/easy-moc/category/p/65941-easymoc

          @setandsetting Have you looked at or tried the Viberg Slippers:

            I haven't. Didn't know they made one. Looks kind of formal though?

                @setandsetting I have enjoyed L L Bean slippers over the years. I just ordered a new pair last month and absolutely love them. Here are some men's styles:

                https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/503380?page=mens-slippers&bc=474-629&csp=f&nav=gnro-18999

                These are the ones I currently wear around the house. I like the shearling inner lining, the durable sole and the sheepskin outer:

                These look nice too:

                Super warm and cozy. My wife has a pair of similar ones too. She loves them!

                I also have these for the summer but they are not nearly as warm:

                    @setandsetting you are welcome, they are amazingly cozy, especially after a long day of work relaxing on a couch with your favorite beverage. Let me know if you end up getting some!

                      I'll second the Beans. I got a pair of Wicked Good Mocs 3 or 4 years ago.  they are still going strong although the shearling has thinned somewhat. They are great for winters around the house and the occasional trek out for trash, mail, etc.

                      Looks like denim truly is the fabric of our salvation.

                        Sounds like you’re sorted, but The North Face makes great slippers. The Nuptse corduroy mules are slightly less fugly than their other models (which generally look like you wrapped the sleeve of a puffy coat around your foot) and have down insulation.

                        Think it, be it.

                          Ultimately jeans are a reflection of the wearer and the fades are the stories and memories created while wearing them.  Each person and their creations are unique and you should do what you’re comfortable with.

                          I like to put the work, time, and effort in my denim to fade them naturally and relish the memories of those special occasions.  Children born, friends lost, beers shared, and tears shed.  I don’t want to speed up that process because life goes by too quickly.

                          My jeans are my story and your jeans should be yours.

                          Just my $.02.

                          Amen!

                          To me fading jeans is an exercise in patience.

                          Patience is the virtue of faders

                              I think our current Prince of Wales wore a pair of Crocket & Jones slippers to the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in London last year.

                              You know, if you wanted a pair of slippers which would also be sartorially correct when you get invited to a movie premiere too…

                              Take the dive...

                                @EdH I saw someone share a pair of slippers on here yesterday and I now need to upgrade from my Marks & Spencer pair I currently wear.

                                The devil is in the detail..

                                  Surely not… M&S is the height of understated (middle) class. Also Xmas is coming and what’s Xmas without Marks and Sparks slippers?!

                                      Nah, M&S has fallen hard in recent years. It's been trying too hard to compete with the GAPs and what-have-you, and really let the quality of its garments slip.

                                      The food is still good, but is being squeezed hard by cheaper supermarkets due to all the food price inflation going on at the moment.

                                          I apologise to both you and AJ. There is a an irony emoji now. I should learn to use it.

                                          I fekkin hate M&S and always have. I take some mean delight in their hardships.

                                            Which emoji is this?

                                            Also, I had a question..

                                            Are the non-IH brands available through the international site all part of the Works INC group?

                                            If not, what determines what ends up for sale there as opposed to on a sister store like Sonder Supplies?
