Hell yeah got my 2xl! This drop gave me the same juice as a Supreme box logo drop 10 years ago.
Hahahaha you just triggered some memories dude. I was never able to snag a box logo though, them damn bots always got me.

Was in a parking garage on the way to dinner. Oh well..

Ah damn I was distracted looking at a purchase from another hobby and missed the drop. Oh well I don't think I can fade everything I have effectively anyway. Problem is you never know when the next one will be.
-
@Jord dude no freaking joke. All we can do is pray resellers don’t touch IH and related brands. It’s pretty unlikely due to how expensive things are but we never know, we started seeing a little something with the watermelon man UHF.
-
@worn2fade Yeah I've found the IH team would try combat it too if it happened, they really care about their customers compared to Supreme that don't give a shit lol.
I've also found 2nd hand IH is normally quite reduced, I just bought a IHG-071-OXB (shell cordovan wallet) on eBay for £120 when retail is £568
obviously not ideal with some items like denim, as you want to fade it yourself, but at least it's an option to get some 2nd hand pieces if you're new to the hobby/on a budget!Anyway sorry for going off-topic

Weird I felt like I was blocked or something. I did exactly what I’ve done in the past and I’ve been able to pick up every drop.
I don’t really need it, but you know FOMO and all

-
@rewseph just because this was the one item I really wanted and being unable to buy it ruins the ship john experience a bit for me in general.
-
@northsouthdenimguy what's your best practice again? I was logged in, had shop pay active and at drop time I immediatly had the XL in my chart and tried to pay.

@Northman it definetely is! I knew this could happen and it's nobodys fault. Just the fomo kicking in a bit more than I expected. I am really not good in waiting

@hgering27 hit me up pls if you don't like the fit

Yes, having Shop Pay connected to my account usually makes it really easy for the purchase to go through quickly. The trick is having the link open and starting to refresh a minute or two before it goes live. The weird thing was my page never changed. I think the link I had had been up for a while and was broken. I figured he was just running late and going live like the Jerry long sleeve natural drop, which I think was a few minutes late from the posted time. So like a dumbass I sat there refreshing for about 10 minutes.

@northsouthdenimguy for most purchases I use google pay which is super fast, I "dry tested" it with some other item which payment providers I could use and the google pay button was available then. Yesterday when I wanted to pay there only was shop pay... Anyway lesson learned

I appreciate the small batch and small business struggles. This was also the #1 item on my SJ hit list and I missed out, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. His carefree-ness is appealing as a lifestyle, but it also means your interactions with the company aren’t going to feel like you’re being waited on hand and foot. This isn’t Neiman Marcus. I think you just have to be cool with getting a special piece now and then and missing out on some; otherwise SJ just isn’t for you. …at least that’s what I’m telling myself after missing out.
The above comment should be read with all the levity your current metal state will allow.

@FlavourFade I also use google pay and have had good luck with it. Have the indigo sashiko, the black sashiko and managed to snag the blacked out Wills to. Not gloating, just to inform you I have had luck with google pay. I'd keep an eye out for a while after they ship the pre-orders. Wouldn't be the first time they had "extra" that they just put on the web site. They did that with some Kristofferson's and the hickory striped western shirt. I am quite certain they did it with some indigo sashiko shirts as well.
-
@FlavourFade very true, that’s how i ended up scoring a kristofferson a couple weeks ago.
