Awesome @pechelman dude that is beyond helpful!
-
Also that sleeve/placket button trick is quite clever
-
Thanks! In reality it probably wasnt necessary, but felt like trying an experiment. Next time I'd make sure the other side of the cuff is tucked in a bit. It still splays open a bit more on the RH sleeve than I'd like, but it's starting to calm down. The LH sleeve that was tucked in more definitely sits close and tight even when unbuttoned which is pretty cool.

Man what a damn beast this thing is — warm soak, hung to try for a little under an hour in the post-apocalyptic Texas sun, worn a little bit while damp to get some creases. Quite a few broken blood vessels in my inner elbows just from scrunching it for a couple mins
The hyperbole is real. I feel like this could end up being one of the most fun IH things I've owned. Glad I dove in!

@Setanta well, it’s being shipped from the Netherlands. Seems they are having one hell of an employee shortage over there so it’s been very slow to be processed in the shipping queue. Really hoping it hasn’t been lost in the shuffle. Damn shame to lose such a fine jacket to the infamy of the postal service.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@Mizmazzle It's amazing how often things eventually turn up, hopefully that is the case here
-
@Mizmazzle I have had long wait times with NL packages but they do eventually turn up. At least in WV anyway.
-
Yeah I’ve had some stuff get hung up for quite a while, more than a month, but it’s eventually showed up all but one time, and that was from Japan. And DHL, no less. Euro mail plus USPS can be slow as molasses, but I feel like it’s pretty dependable.

I’m feeling pretty confident about it. Suppose we all have our horror stories. Way more interesting to talk about at parties!! Haha
My lady once ordered a leather jacket from a shop in Canada. Somehow became lost in the system. A month later, just the shipping label and a scrap of a paper bag showed up in the mailbox. Haha. Jacket never found…only the small strip of salvaged packaging.

@Mizmazzle that's weird af my dude

IIRC the longest it took one particular package from NL was nearly 3 months. The sender has no control over delays due to customs. The long wait was so worth the monumental joy of finally seeing the beat up package haha.
-
Haha. That package has seen things.
-
Haha. Oh, this lefty is out in the wild all on its own!! Morgan said is getting its own fades out there on its adventure haha
@Oaktavia it’s going to be a joyous occasion rolling into the driveway some random day over the next few months and spying some mystery package peeking out from the front porch! WTF is that!!?
I have the utmost confidence in the sender. I still marvel at the idea of our global shipping systems. How far we’ve come since the Pony Express. All to get this oh so sacred denim into my hands.
