    Yeah. It always seems a little strange to me. Like the seat of my jeans was pretty faded. Then I washed, they now seem darker. The jeans are only 5 months in. Only the second wash. Wondering if loose indigo finds its way back to the lighter parts of the fabric. I’ll try and post some pics. Maybe I’m nuts.

        I just picked up the IH-777S-142od last week in a size 31. I know that the overdyed means all the shrinkage has already taken place. I'm going to pick up IH-777S-142bb next. Should I size up one to a 32 since there will be some shrinkage after the first wash with those or stick to the same size 31?

          Hi there, after reading about UHF shrinkage I was wondering if this fit would work well after washing? Sizing up to a medium gets baggy around my back, like a billowing sail and it's a bit long on body. I'm super skinny in real life with slightly long arms.

          In an effort to have less clothes I've started buying lots of them

            Personally, I think you'll be fine.

            I've had minimal shrinkage from mine with 30c washes and even if you had more drastic results, I don't think you'd be at any detriment fit-wise.

              @Mizmazzle I can’t really see the effect you mentioned in your pics but I have noticed something similar in areas where the denim creases (not flat areas like the seat). I have always assumed it’s because the denim lies flat after washing so you only see colour variation without the added effect of the light hitting the hills and valleys in the denim at different angles pre-wash. This doesn’t really explain your observations. Maybe the surface fibres sit differently after washing?

                Thanks for the input. I think it’s all in my head. Still fairly new to the fade game. This is my third pair to fade but both earlier pairs I ditched only 6-7 months in to focus on the XHS. So haven’t quite made it past the 6-7 month mark of focusing on one pair of jeans.

                  @Mizmazzle I do see what you mean but that’s more fades in 5 months than I get in 5 years so quit complaining.  😉

                  @IHOI That fit looks pretty good to me.  If the chest fits well, the shoulder seems are right at the edge and the sleeves are right at the wrist I’d say you nailed it.  You could get away with a small but then those measurements might be too small for you.  If you’re very tall and skinny I’d think you did the best you could making the medium work for you.

                    Truly a random question, but I noticed 'Most Online Ever: 1436 (20-01-2020, 21:12:12)' whilst mindlessly browsing the forum at work. Curious as to what (if anything) was happening then, as that number is 6/7x larger than the number of users online at a typical moment in time…

                    “𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

                      Probably some sort of Denial of Service attack….Nothing happened that we know of, which could have been an another credible explanation....

                          Brilliant thank you! I'll just be careful on the first wash and see how it goes

                            I’m letting my M65 go because it’s a little tight in the biceps and it’s a little long for my torso aesthetically (in my head). What’s a good in between jacket? My Type 3 is very fitted so it’s a solo piece, I can kinda squeeze a UHF in there. And Texas has been too warm the last few weeks for my N1.

                            I would prefer IH but I’m open to other brands. I have a Freenote waxed Rider I’m selling on eBay because it’s just so boxy on me, I prefer a more tailored look.  I really like Mister Freedoms take on Pea Coats, but they don’t have any in my size. Just an idea of what I like aesthetically.

                            Thanks!

                              May not be tailored enough for you but I bought a beautiful navy moleskin chore coat from Drakes. Also tried on their denim one, which was very very nice but on the grounds that I already had a denim IH one I did not get it.

                                hi all, looking for a black shirt in western cut, cotton, and i've seen a lot of beautifully faded ones, but this time i'm interested if someone can recommend the one that will fade the least, slow fading one. thanks!

                                  Chore coats are a little boxy for me, plus hand warmers are a must. Thank you though!

                                        Is their a timeline for when specific fall products will be released yet? I’m not seeing it anywhere.

                                          Not posted yet, we have not even started shipping SS23 yet (nor have we published guesstimate delivery times for that collection or even published what is releasing in FW23)  🙂

                                          When we do, it will be posted here:
