    two regrets …

    • I didn’t buy IHSH-170 - gone forever …!
    • I didn’t buy IH-1955S-OD when last available - hoping for a restock at some point 🙂

        If I started regretting things that are beyond my control, I'd be finished! Happy to let great historic pieces lie, unless they are resurrected one day.

        I don't recall a huge buzz about them, but I do wish I'd picked up the 720-IVO at the same time as I bought my black pair.

            I have been racking my brains to think about what I regret not copping and the fact ive had to think so hard tells me there isn't much I do. There have been a few items i've pondered hard and hard about, regretted not getting it, then jumped at the chance when we had my size returned - IHSH-316-IND, IHM-27-OLV (though there would have been many more chances) and the IHM-37-ODG.

            I am sure this will be a great thread and in years to come, now I have the little one in tow, I will have many items to add here 😆

              @AdamC Yeah it gets harder when you have to pit “keeping child fed” vs. “we will never make this again so jump on it now”. Kids are so needy.

              @endo I’ll start asking for the pj’s now and then just to take some heat off 😝

                I know I haven’t been around too long, so my regrets are not as valid as some others, but having fairly recently discovered XHS….really wish I didn’t miss the 25oz BB

                    IHSH-237-BLK and IHSH-261-BLK were the two shirts that got away and I wish I had grabbed some 25oz BB when I had the chance. Alas, time will go on and I'll still cry about it in 5yr

                            @SKT there’s actually a pair on grailed right now. But they’ve been hemmed to 29”. Too short for my chicken legs.

                                Off top.. :
                                SExIH03 aka the cyclist jeans. The second collab jean with SE (i think?). Couldn't even come close to affording those when they came out but it had such unique details and the fit, from what I remember, felt like the precursor to the straight tapered fits (633 and 888) we see now.

                                IHSH-51. I have the black but I wish I had went one more size up and also got the red. These things are hefty and in my opinion the closes thing to the infamous SH20. They are deceivingly dense which means I'm rarely able to button my up anymore lol

                                Any of the TW jeans. I think they were waaay ahead of their time and for some reason did not get the same traction that IH got. Plus I really dig their back arcs.

                                I'm as ugly as you

                                    Good call, there were some gems in that collection - shirts too

                                    I really struggled to get people to understand that TW was not the poor relation of IH, but a different concept and a place for us to try out different cuts and fabrics that were not necessarily in the IH wheelhouse....

                                    I don't really do regrets, because it changes nothing, but I am sad about that....

                                      I’ve regretted over the years not buying another IHSH-87
                                      when it was available!!!

                                        @Giles I hesitated even putting the word “regret” in the title but couldn’t think of a better way to put it.

                                          As regrets go it's pretty minor, but I've made the mistake of sizing up to XL in two shirts now.. All my Ls fit me near perfectly but sometimes I get conscious of gaining weight and not fitting into them anymore and size up preemptively. Never a good decision... guess I've just got stay in shape!
