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

[mclaincausey]

@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.

[ROman]

@Mizmazzle Nicely done.

[flannel slut]

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

[FlavourFade]

@Mizmazzle amazing fit and amazing friendship!!

[Mizmazzle]

Thanks dudes!!

[Mizmazzle]

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).

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Sounds like Matt is solid dude!

[pechelman]

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.. ️

[scarfmace]

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

[DeeDee85]

@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

...20 shirts later

for real though

[Mizmazzle]

Just one pair of jeans and one denim shirt and I’ll wear them non stop and:

1. Maximize cost per wear
2. Own fewer, better things
3. They will get maximum fades
4. Actually be saving money in the end on two well made garments.

[Giles]

A very familiar story. People (who can) seem to be able to justify our prices for jeans/pants, but baulk at the price of shirts. I have said to so many people over the years, yeah they are fucking expensive, so if you cant rationalise that, then that's cool, don't buy one, because if you do you'll likely buy shit loads.

Guess what?

[Mizmazzle]

I had a shirt first...33B...the price seemed insane at the time. But it was so beautifully designed that nothing else compared. Next came some 21oz 888 ODs....then very very rapidly and about 1-4 times a month ever since...rationalize I can...and do....
