IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

I’m feeling pretty confident about it. Suppose we all have our horror stories. Way more interesting to talk about at parties!! Haha

My lady once ordered a leather jacket from a shop in Canada. Somehow became lost in the system. A month later, just the shipping label and a scrap of a paper bag showed up in the mailbox. Haha. Jacket never found…only the small strip of salvaged packaging.

Yeah I’ve had some stuff get hung up for quite a while, more than a month, but it’s eventually showed up all but one time

IIRC the longest it took one particular package from NL was nearly 3 months. The sender has no control over delays due to customs. The long wait was so worth the monumental joy of finally seeing the beat up package haha.

[popvulture]

Haha. That package has seen things.

[Mizmazzle]

Haha. Oh, this lefty is out in the wild all on its own!! Morgan said is getting its own fades out there on its adventure haha

@Oaktavia it’s going to be a joyous occasion rolling into the driveway some random day over the next few months and spying some mystery package peeking out from the front porch! WTF is that!!?

I have the utmost confidence in the sender. I still marvel at the idea of our global shipping systems. How far we’ve come since the Pony Express. All to get this oh so sacred denim into my hands.

Well...... Here we go! Just finished a hot soak, and now I'm drip drying. I'll attempt to wear it while it's still damp to get the creases locked in. Wish me luck! This thing is a cardboard beast.

[popvulture]

It really is the crunchiest. So fun putting it on damp — insta-crease mania. I was gonna stick a pin on mine earlier and was weighing the pin’s chances of surviving the attachment process

I threw a ~1986 Madonna pin on mine that I was convinced wouldn’t make it through but…

[Oaktavia]

@october-rust yeah you can get 'em through there with a bit of effort.

[popvulture]

@october-rust hell yeah! Heavy Selvedge Material Girl

[pechelman]

Even despite the crazy heat, about 20 days in. Air Con for the win. The 14IB jacket is starting to get lonely.

[october rust]

@pechelman Gosh I have to get better at wearing mine around the house in the AC lol. Thanks for the reminder, it's looking awesome
