Buying My Buddy a Gift...Surprise, It's Denim!!

[Mizmazzle]

Ok friends. Last post here for awhile. We picked up Matt’s 888 21oz from Berkeley Supply today. They did an excellent chainstitch hem job.

Matt is beyond stoked. They came out perfect for his tastes. He kept commenting on how he couldn’t believe how much air flow he was feeling through the denim. He even wore them out into the 102° heat to drive home in.

Thanks again to everyone here for the support and good natured fun and commentary. This forum is the shit and the people who hang out here make it that way!!

Gratzi 1000!!!

@Mizmazzle they look fantastic and I hope (and know) that he will get many years of use and enjoyment out of them. Tell him nice kicks as well!

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT thanks Sean!!

@Mizmazzle they have a Union Special?? I have some pairs to bring in.

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey yup! Fairly new addition to the shop. Think they’ve had it for close to a year now.

@Mizmazzle Nicely done.

@Mizmazzle definitely rocking that, “where have you been all my life?” grin

[FlavourFade]

[Mizmazzle]

Thanks dudes!!

Thought I’d share the quick update that Matt has fully embraced his denim journey. Took him a little bit to get used to the idea of wearing a pair of jeans hard, but he’s now hiking in his 888s and has dumped his old Levi’s. Additionally he’s added a couple pairs of Freenote jeans to his collection (black gray selvedge and the indigo x brown selvedge).

Sounds like Matt is solid dude!

Sounds like he's just about ready to sign up for a username here.

Now you need to prank him. Tell him about uhf awesomeness, really build it up. Then give him a cheapy cheap unbranded temu shirt as a "uhf". See if he has the stones to say you're crazy this sucks!

[CosmoSix5]

But.... then you'll probably have to buy him a uhf.. ️

Poor guy, he can never go back

[Mizmazzle]

@scarfmace so true. He’s looking at shirts now…the never ending wardrobe overhaul is in motion.

Maybe I’m not such a good friend after all

Yeah, I remember when I first discovered IH and I thought I would only be buying pants LOL.

[SKT]

@Oaktavia me too lol

@Oaktavia @SKT i said exactly that too did a load of research, went to Rivet & Hide to get my super researched pair of jeans and also tried a flannel on. “The flannels are great but I don’t need to be spending that much on shirts, I’ll just stick to the jeans”

20 shirts later
