@pechelman I was blessed with mine and ready for it.

It’s why IH-Germany waived the shipping fee and stated that all the buyer had to do was to cover duties.

Many countries deal with punitive duties on a daily basis, and if I’m not mistaken, Germany is one of the worst for duties owed when their residents buy something from abroad. Canada is also pretty bad in the hierarchy of fees owed on incoming goods. Not only are the duties high, but the carriers added processing fees as well.

The US was protected for many years having a $800 USD de minimus. Now you’re experiencing what the rest of us have to deal with.

…on the flip side of this argument is that many of us do not have to pay for healthcare, tuition is subsidized or very low, and the standard of living is moderately better in some of those countries.

[pechelman]

yea, absolutely. I'm not intending to this being a complaint against IHG, moreso intending that post to be an fyi with the actual values. The UPS fee is the one that surprised me the most being almost 2X the US calculated duty. It will be nice when the shipping is refunded as well.

Paid the UPS fee today. About $2 less than the original cost of shipping. I would have ate the cost either way because the bandana design is so good. Big thanks to IH Germany for looking out for us.

I LOVE this combo!! Is this a selvedge bandana? One side is not folded and sewn, is that the indicator? I think Filthy was telling me that is how they come sometimes. You can see this edge in the third to last photo.

@Oaktavia beautiful! I’ll have mine today

And I think that is the selvedge side for sure

[Oaktavia]

@SKT oh, yes it says right on the first post indigo selvedge fabric.

It’s a race!

[Mizmazzle]

Siiiiick!!!

[ARNC]

These do look good. No idea how I’ll use it but I should have one waiting for me when I get home from work tomorrow!

I hadn’t thought about the sticker until I saw @Mizmazzle’s pic but it’ll be cool to have another one (the one I picked up at the IHG party went into the bag of bits that travels with the MRMF to commemorate one of the highlights of my leg).

[SKT]

Bad lighting but damn is it gorgeous!

[Mizmazzle]

@ARNC that’s a killer pocket rag to live along side the MRMF!

Yeah, the more you carry it, the more uses you'll find. It's always good to have a bandanner on ya.

[ARNC]

@Mizmazzle these weren’t available at the time, it’s the IHG sticker that’s travelling with the Mad Red.

@Oaktavia I’m sure I’ll find uses for it, I just need to find my way!

[Mizmazzle]

@ARNC I carry mine in my pocket when I’m hiking and fishing. I have another one I carry in my IHE 51 when I’m walking the dog etc. Nice for sweaty brows on long walks. Like Stevie said, the more you carry it, the more you’ll miss it when it’s not around.

[Oaktavia]

Yup I have a bandanna rotation of about 10 or so. I blow my nose on them so once I do that I throw them in the wash. But they are good for cleaning glasses in a pinch, wearing around your neck (not a snotty one ), or head, wiping down a wet chair or bench outside, and you look like an upstanding gentleman if someone near and dear to you is crying during a movie or wedding.
