I was in the Edinburgh Apple Store a while back and spotted a familiar pair of arcuates on this gentleman's arse. This was the first pair of IHs I'd ever seen in the real (I only bought my own first ever pair last week) and was keen to get a closer look, so I had to move and pretend to be interested in whatever product was on the tables behind him as he wandered around the store, all the while slyly scoping his threads…
And as if that isn't sad enough, I spotted him again outside and actually tailed him for a bit, trying to guess the cut and denim (tbh I could have stopped and asked, I'm sure the chap would've been happy to oblige, but you know, the thrill of the chase etc.).
Oh god, what have I become?

I have a bartender in Columbus, Ohio that has called me out wearing IH twice. He is usually wearing IH or FH. He seems pretty friendly. Both times he has said something to me I was on a date or with others so I had limited opportunity to chat much further - but I will make it a point to talk to him next time…I hope he is a forum member!

Same as the rest of you guys… I've NEVER seen another soul wearing IH, and I've only had someone recognize that I'm wearing IH once... And, it was AWKWARD... Or, maybe I'm awkward (I definitely AM)... I'm actually already "stressing" about the Kanreki meet-up.....
No need to stress, I can show you how to make a £1000 worth of clothing look like a £25 outfit

When I got my XHS hemmed at Blue Owl shortly after buying them the owner, Jay, said he sees a pair come through on a regular basis but I've definitely never seen any in the wild.
I kinda wished Jay would carry IH @ BOW, but then again, that may not be his clientele. Also, he'd have to compete against SE and Mild Blend, which might be difficult.

I hope it doesn't involve taking everything off except for a coin purse, cause then I definitely don't wanna see any pictures of the event…
In that case you're expecting full HD video, right?

How does IH determine which items will remain as extant core items and which ones will have a limited release? Is it based off of the availabilty of a given fabric from the mill you work with? Also, does Haraki-san come up with color ideas for all your flannels or does the mill produce samples for you guys to pick from? I'm always impressed with the colorways IH comes up with so was curious how they come about.

The first question requires far too a complex answer for me to be bothered typing it out. If we ever meet, I am more than happy to talk about it.
In the main, Haraki with help from Tom, will dream up the colour-ways and commission the weaving. I come up with a few ideas, and forum members sometimes come up with an idea that is worth pursuing (e.g. @jdl1279 came up with the concept of the faded flamingo ombré). Occasionally H will stumble across a fabric that he loves (IHSH-129 and IHSH-170), then we buy it as a finished fabric.
