And to be fair my IHSW-10-BLK is that damn good that im happy to wear the hell out of that.

I saw a new YouTube post pop up about a cashmere version too, i might also check that out
…. And I just saw the price of a cashmere hoodie. Whoa, I’m out.
I see @Rustygate37 you were not aware of the price. You don't just casually check out their full cashmere products, you need to be ready for a battle
That product will still extremely fast, it is basically in similar territory as NF 40oz jean, superlatives.

@moskiitto I have no doubt that it will sell well. Not for me though thanks. Loving what they do and always appreciate when a brand pushes the boundaries.
Not aware of anyone’s 40oz jeans, sounds painful though. -
I’m sure it’s incredible stuff, and trust me, I’m the wrong person to comment on whether it’s worth it. I’ve paid more for some things that are probably half as nice
.In all seriousness, the one thing that gives me pause is the pilling. I’ve never owned anything in cashmere that didn’t exhibit this after a while. To my mind, a hoodie is a piece I just want to throw on and forget about. Obviously YMMV
-
@moskiitto Terrible scenario. How dare you take 2 of my 3 favourite hoodies away! Glad I don't have to decide.
I'll try and revisit this question in the upcoming review though.
-
@Brandrea Great point! I didn't even consider this. To be honest, if I splurged on this it would be worn so sparingly I probably wouldn't be worried about pilling.
IDK, this stuff gets put on such a high mental pedestal it almost defeats the intended purpose. I wanted to get an IH 21oz apron last summer but flip-flopped until they were sold out and missed my chance. I thought I might not want to get it dirty so I wouldn't end up using it the way I use my old apron. Completely silly. I brought that up here recently and Goosend replied with "It can be washed as any other denim can…" I realized how idiotic I was being. But then again, said apron doesn't cost 2800 Canadian dollars!!
-
@Chibs slept on the apron myself! Hope to see them return one day. They look super crisp new but of course will age into something more beautiful and interesting. It's easy to have that museum preservation instinct with certain pieces but good to have that challenged
-
... I'll stick to my foxfibre tee's instead of babycashmere
-
@Rustygate37 thanks mate. I too am not able to spend the money rare NF/Wonderlooper drop. Their last Made in Japan were almost $900. All fox fiber cotton, hand dyed in japan, shell cordovan patch. I about passed out hitting the pay now button for my XHSib lol
-
@CosmoSix5 The last MIJ's were so expensive, I understand the FF is expensive, but the MIJ16 I got for like £250 seem to have all the bells and whistles and were like 1/3 of the price
(talking about NF MIJ for anyone that's confused)
I'd rather spend the money on IH, I've bought from other brands and IH is just better IMO... It feels a lot better quality
-
Guys, guys, how about we pool our funds together to buy this. Im in australia, we can rotate who gets to wear it and in what month??? I wont need it for Oct till March mostly. What say you?? (Joking of course....in case sarcasm doesnt translate).
