      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.

        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

        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.

                        Well I didn't do a close inspection of the equipment but I'm pretty sure she is a member of the fairer sex.  😉

                          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

                            Philadelphia isn't that bad.  Well, ok, it is.

                                A few of my best friends from high school moved there after college.  Too many nefarious activities to list.

                                But, to bring the thread back on topic, I can second all the IHW-01 comments.  I have had at least a dozen people compliment me on the shirt and ask where to get it.  After I tell them how much it costs, they usually lost interest…

                                Out with the new! In with the old!

                                  Actually, to update my contribution to this thread. A group of my friends were really impressed with my IHW-01, they thought it was an incredible garment, smart, well designed, well constructed, then I told them how much it cost and they stopped asking questions…....priorities people, priorities !!!!

                                    Yikes, I didn't realize it was that bad.  When you pass Camden, things are really rough.

                                      first day wearing my new 55 wabash shirt today, my local Post Office crew seems to love it, like I do  :)…

                                      and posted this a while ok

                                      @rocket:

                                      and a funny sidenote, while doing the pics, doorbell rang, some delivery driver with a package, signed it, closed the door, back to what I was doing, a minute later doorbell again, same delivery driver, if he could ask me which brand the shirt was I'm wearing…  😉

                                      and one of the most liked things by random people seems def my Sinn U1 watch, at least ones a month, I get there a question about it by strangers…. crazy...

                                        I swear… every time I wear my 666OD someone stops and asks me what they are or compliments me on them. Then when they ask how much the cost I walk away cause I don't feel like sitting there for half an hour and explaining why I paid so much lol.
