This shot really shows off the 51 well I think.

@Mizmazzle this shot is fire

[Mizmazzle]

Tom, @T4920 i bet yours has something a bit more respectable than this…but I’m seeing my first hint of electric blue starting to pop…

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle honestly, you're making more progress than me!

I'm still using my ISE-19 as my daily bag. As my swimwear, towel, and toiletries are a little too much of a tight squeeze in this one..

Use this one whenever I don't need the extra space..

Still love it, but not gonna beat it up as fast as I hoped!

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 I’m still getting used to using this thing. But like you mentioned to me, I’m looking for ways to use it and things to put into it now. I’ve had a few school trips that it’s been super handy. I carry carls ball, leash and poop bags (unused) every day in it while walking to the park.

It’s losing some of its stiffness and the strap is softening up as well.

Finally got to wear mine out today. I think it’ll need to be broken in! The straps are no joke. Time to turn my white Ts indigo

[T4920]

Rude not to as you're all checking in!

@T4920 good shirt

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle how's yours looking looks after 3 weeks on the road!? Wanna be the first one to throw it in the wash and show us how it turns out?

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 updates soon to come!!

[T4920]

Starting to lighten up a bit with wear and a little sun exposure.

@T4920 What is your EDC in that bag? I've always wanted one of the black ones (or the leather diamond shoulder bag ideally), but I feel like I would have to "manufacture" a need.

[AdamJ]

@jordanscollected I used the Porter & Yoshida Co (equivalent) version in Japan. Similar to use, never had the use for one. However, carrying your wallet, phone, charger and/or a small bottle without having your pockets jammed was a game changer. I've seen the light!

[T4920]

@jordanscollected keys, sunglasses, headphones, cologne, deodorant, power bank, and a small container with an emergency toothbrush/toothpaste in it

Great for daily necessities, but if I have my swimwear and a book I'll grab the IH shoulder bag instead, which is significantly more spacious despite the measurements looking almost identical on the site.

I always carried a backpack to and from work, but find these to be more practical and aesthetically pleasing!

Just in case you get approached by a young lady in the queue for food?

[T4920]

@Giles always be prepared

Wore this thing all day, everyday while in Nam. 90-95° and humid as hell. Hiking, spelunking, riding motos…this thing was a god send.

It’s soaked in sweat and dirt and travel grime. Guess washing it may be the prudent thing to do. Think it will shrink or anything odd of that nature?

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle I don't think it'll shrink noticeably, fully intend to wash mine as and when is needed!

I imagine it'll look better with each wash, as being whooshed around inside a machine may be the only way that front panel sees any notable agiation to kick off the fading.

I couldn't resist and got one too, I was very undecided between this and the IHE-37 (I really liked the small front pocket and the rivets), but seeing your photos I was convinced for this beast. Thank you my friends
