100% positive feedback?? Has he exclusively sold to himself?
I think a bunch of these are still available from IH or retailers too.
Wanker.

Hi there,
I just arrived on the forum. I live in France near Bordeaux. I love this brand. I am the realization of each of the pieces that come out regularly. Sometimes I treat myself to shirts and jeans from time to time.
I will participate in the forum from time to time and especially I often read your comments. I also like to look at the photos that everyone posts to get an idea of how each item of clothing will look.
I am 49 years old. You are very popular in France, know that!
My messages are translated because I am not very strong in English.
See you soon on the forum.

yea, its hard to tell if those are real or fake without expert check it.
How often will Ironheartamerca website resotck the IHM-33-OLV model? its all sold out now. 2 days ago I saw it has my size L in stock but I was in a meeting, then it was sold already after my meeting was finished. I checked around US dealers' website and none of them carry IHM-33-OLV model.

I have a subjective question. How many IH shirts is too many? I mean, every season is great and I clearly have an addiction. My closet is beginning to get crowded and I can’t for the life of me identify anything I’d be comfortable selling. Currently I have about 25 snap/button shirts, maybe the same number of tees, about 10 pairs of pants, bibs, sweaters, and various and sundry items here and there.
I mean the obvious answer is shift my focus to GAH which is easier to store but I haven’t manipulated my wife sufficiently to do that yet.
Oh yeah, boots and shoes in there too. Sooner or later Katie will realize I’m moving into her closet space.

Well, how many shirts of ALL brands are you accustomed to having around?
I have personally always had a LOT of clothes. We’re talking dozens of random tees, pants, shirts, sweats, etc. As time has gone on, I have realized that I only ever reach for my IH clothes in the closet, or dig around in the piles until I can find them. Therefore, I feel okay slowly allowing the tectonic shift of buying more IH to replace all the rest.
It’s like, natural selection.

The @Max Power answer to how may IH shirts do I need would be "the number you already own plus one"

Hi guys, is there a good place to see examples of layering? I want to get a UHF Western and a denim jacket (possibly some kind of type ii), but I want to make sure my purchases work together to avoid complicating my wardrobe! Thanks in advance…

That's a great question/topic @Matt, and one I've discussed in my own head many times. I would say that the biggest factor is how often do you get to wear your IH gear? If it's every day, than 25 shirts could be rotated through pretty efficiently.
If you wear an IH shirt out and about 2-3 times per week, and find that you keep reaching for the same one over and over like may of us do, then some of those 25 may get worn once or twice per year. when you add to it that you have zero desire to part with any of them, even the lessor worn shirts, now we have a mental hurdle that only you can jump over, go around, avoid, etc.
From a personal standpoint, If my work situation allows (no suppliers in, no customer meetings, etc.) I'm throwing IH pants and shirt on for sure every day. I may however, have to throw on my chefs coat when working in the kitchen and then my shirt goes to a hanger for a better part of the day which messes with my breaking in and fading a shirt. The other factor for me is that when I get home and we aren't going out for the remainder of the day, I'm moving to sweats and a zip up asap. I don't wear my heavyweight gear as much when lounging around the house, and I definitely don't sleep in my jeans like @Filthy does on occasion.
One thing that helped my feeling of having too many items to wear (i have quite a few less than 25 IH shirts), was to go through my closet and donate a ton of the other stuff i had been hanging onto for that day I may wear it. It helped me justify keeping everything i have, and adding more when i can.
You didn't ask for my suggestion moving forward, but it's OK to move on from a shirt or 2 and putting that money towards a new IH or GAH item. There's always a chance for feelings of regret to creep in, but you will live through it.

@jordanscollected solid answer, Jeff. I enjoyed reading that.

Ah brilliant thank you, this already answers a bunch of thoughts I had, like can I get a Western UHF to not extend too far below a denim jacket!
