      i get a bunch of comments on my -16 and -08 because they look tough as nails
      dita grandmaster iis get a lot too, normally because they absolutely dominate my face (and thus conversation - normally kickstarts another round of everyone trying them on*)
      the jackets i got from landon - especially the lambskin one, mainly because of the intoxicating aroma
      the other week i had my saddleback out at a bar, and a couple of girls were poking fun at me for having such a heavy bag and scrawny shoulders that couldn't support it. i wasn't going down that easy so i fireman carried them both outside to the smoking section

        Most recently for me it was my Ande Whall Cougars

        I've seen many folks looking at my BB-ODs as black jeans are a bit more rare but nobody has asked anything yet.  Maybe after they start fading to indiglo 🙂

          been wearing my 526J the past couple of days & have been stopped by folks that wanted to have a better look at it & ask a few questions.

          guess they have good taste  😉

              My 666ODs get compliments all the time and asked what type of jeans I am wearing. They voted me best dressed at work  :D. I just say Iron heart when they ask for the price I tend to change topics  :-X.

              Other than that people have asked what Red wings I have and a pair of Nudies I used to wear.

                Thought I would revive this thread.

                My IH-811's - Wabash painter pants…......It may be because people are stunned to see me not wearing indigo jeans, but get positive comments every time I wear them

                IHD-01od - another banker for a positive comment....

                    My IHW-01's get compliments every time I wear them. Specifically the Charcoal because it stands out a bit more than the other two.

                      People do seem to notice the W-01 a bunch when I wear mine as well, I've been wearing one a bunch lately. Now that I think about it, I have gotten a compliment on the charcoal one most every time I have had it on.

                      32 red seems to be a close runner up.

                        I've had people call them "special" or "crazy" not entirely sure if those were meant as compliments though …

                          ^same here on heavy denim. Most people can't believe that these jeans are wearable.

                            I think the only piece I own that I've received random compliments from strangers about is my TWHRII jacket.

                              A new part-timer at work once asked to me, "Are you wearing selvedge jeans?" as I crossed the main office.  When I happily replied "yes!"  she said, "You don't see those much in Berks County."  The county I live in has an interesting populace comprised of old school Pennsylvania Dutch on one side & one of the poorest & most crime-ridden cities in the States on the other side.  With a little bit of Jestre in the middle 😉    It still shocks me to this day that someone actually recognized a quality piece of denim.

                                      Very true. I am surprised daily in that respect.

                                          The laydeeez love the superblack IME. The shirt most of all. I remember Max Power saying that his grandma said it looked aristocratic; it does certainly make an impression
