The Shop hand dyed chore jacket. My grail piece. Really stretched my budget to get one of these things when I did, but man do I love it. The first time I met TJ was in 2004 when I bought a white sessions snowboard jacket from him. Cut to 20+ years later, and I am still buying jackets from the homie.
Get outside, feel small

My grail piece was also the piece that introduced me to the brand. The Pale Rider
Honorable mention to my new Fat Fot 22.5oz Foxfiber ducks from N&F.

@derek111 killer jacket!

I’ve been thinking about what to put up here all day. I’m conflicted. Main problem is almost everything from IH + other brands that I recently bought are grail pieces. I wanted the untucked for a long time and eventually bought & eff’n love it. I coveted the 21oz modified type 3 when I first found out about IH in 2024. I bought the 14oz ib and waited for the 21 to become available. I love both those jackets. Drooled over the green M65 and found one on eBay. Love that too. Not to mention the N1.. The list has grown considerably. If I had to pick my absolute favourite piece right now though, gun to my head: It’s got to be the modified 16oz OD slub. This one is crazy because I never wanted it. Just happened by a shop on Queen street, tried it on and well? Shit.. I’m sure there’s a metaphor for life in there somewhere.
I actually wore it today because it was +4°C and I missed it during this brutal winter we’re almost done with. Thankfully.
Yep IH-526J-SLBod. That’s my final answer and I’m good with that!

@Chibs I find you can't go wrong with any items from IH, they're all grail quality and I'm happy to own all my gear

adopt a hybrid approach
Oh my, @ARNC! I hope your neighbours didn't see this.
I wouldn't want to be explaining to a MET Constable that I was adopting a hybrid approach in the garden.
Surely some things can happen behind closed doors, I hear them say.
Mind, it could be interpreted as a tribute to the latest IH lookbook.

IHSH-139
IH-817

Nice one @ARNC
Frankly, unlikely the MET would respond anyway

This thread is pure gold. So many exciting stories! This was a perfect evening read, lying on my hotel bed in Kyoto after another long day in this beautiful country Japan. Not sure if I would be here if Japanese Denim had not pushed me to explore this world.
A bit late to the party but nevertheless:
My grail IH piece, the mighty IHJ-54 aka „The Horse“. I always wanted to own a nice black leather jacket. When I discovered the thread on the forum, I have read it at least 10 times. As there were few posts I also went through the IHJ-35 thread for another 10 times or so. The more I looked, the more I knew this was the one.
Then the great news: IH 20th anny party in Gosport. I started saving up for this the moment I knew the party was happening. I knew if I put it on and liked it, I’d never put it off again. And that’s exactly what happened.
First IH party + Haraki signing the jacket?
I will never forget it.
My grail non-IH piece: A pair of non Selvedge Evisu jeans found on a flee market in Munich. Worn by a band member on the music video set of my favorite local Hip Hop Crew, Blumentopf.
No selvedge, not the craziest fabric, paid 20€, but this is the jeans that started it all. I repainted the arcs, did my first Sashiko and will never ever let it go.
And, last but not least, my first ever IH piece, the IHSH-62-BLK Wabash. Bought on Kleinanzeigen in 2019. Debated for days if a shirt could be worth that money. It was and still is.
And, honorable mention, the first ever IH jeans I jumped into. My beloved IH-888S. My favorite pair that I still have in rotation after close to 500 wear days.
Use it or lose it.

Great post @weftyarn - I was at that party in Gosport and saw you getting your stuff signed by Haraki-San and remember thinking how cool that was and how happy you both were! It was a special moment.
On a side note - I like your bag in this pic. What is she? (Not that all bags are female
) -
For the Friday fade+flannel: my oldest 888 in 14oz + the slightly pimped Brund special IHSH-BRUND-NAV. Most versatile of my flannels due to the lack of pattern..
