WAYWT - Family and Loved Ones Edition… (pics and anecdotes)

@mclaincausey:

My amazing sister. She went back to school to become an MD at age 40 with 3 children at home. She's now crushing it as an Emergency Department doctor.
And here is some more of my family; the kind you choose.

That's impressive as hell.  :o

Thanks @steelworker I agree ; and sorry, Forum, I think I missed the point of the thread by not having any family clad in IH. Brandi does borrow it from time to time

Honour and respect today to @Black Orchid  @sabergirl @RoxRocks86  @Madame Buttonfly  @Kathrynnaomi, all the other forum women, and to the wives, partners, girlfriends, daughters, sisters and mothers of all of us XY and XX chromosome bearers. Happy International Women’s Day.

I was just about to post this in the non-ih thread but it goes so much better here.
Morning walk with Marlene. Not trying to sound pathetic but she makes me want to be a better person.

Nothing wrong with that, old boy. Although I suspect you are more than good enough already.

I think a lot of us dads can relate! She’s gorgeous by the way.

Here is the short story of buying the IHSW-23 from denimhead to and @Black Orchid .

My eleven year old son asked me to buy a hoodie for him.
At this time Barcley offered two beautiful vintage zipped ones on his sale thread.
When I showed them to him, he dislikes the Zip and pointed out, that he is saving for a new bike.
A sport he likes a lot.

Told him, that the seller was a former BMX-rider and a retired jet navigator.
We watched some videos from the Mad Red Tour together and he was hooked.
At this time, Jules offered here IHSW-23 and it was love at first sight for my son. (Black and no zipper, a no brainer for him).

At this point it comes to the topic of this thread:
@neph93:

A recurring theme around this forum is wives, husbands and partners, children or parents stealing our clothes, or alternatively, having Iron Heart pushed upon them reluctantly or otherwise. Is this wise? Are we educating and raising our loved ones to appreciate quality, or are we just projecting our expensive addictions onto them? 

Normally 80% of my sons wardrobe is second hand from family and friends.
We were talking a lot what he and his peer group likes and what he is willing to spend from his own money.
In the end, we decided to split the costs and the hoodie goes back to me when he’s outgrown.

Never thought the following could happen:

Smile

We can talk about fabrics, the place of production and how to wash…

After showing him some sketches from Haraki, he is drawing his own line at the moment.

Thanks @neph93 for bringing this thread alive!

Lovely stuff @Alex_24. I remember OshKosh from a while back. Didn’t know they were still going.
