      If you're intent on keeping the original leather strap, get it really wet, wear it on the tighter setting until it dries. That should stretch the leather enough to wear it comfortably

        @DougNg:

        You might also like removing the extra keeper strap. I cut off that extra strap on almost all my NATOs. I don't care for the wobble from the extra 3-4mm of thickness.

        That's basically a Zulu, isn't it?

          Kind of. I don't like the rings on a Zulu. I find it doesn't hold the extra strap tucked back underneath as tight.

          I prefer the way a cut off NATO keeps everything slim and trim.

            “It's getting close, times are getting exciting!

            So, moral/professional dilemma. I'm going to college for my bachelors in accounting.  I got a very entry level job at a bank/wealth management company in their payroll department.  Our entire building is no client contact, unless there is a client meeting.  I have no contact with clients either way.  Dress code is business  casual with jeans acceptable because of the no client contact.  Other branches that have actual banks are business professional with slacks. Everyone in my building wears jeans, both the men and women. Up to this point I've worn a shirt and tie with slacks for two reasons which I've mentioned, I like dressing up, and the whole "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"; so, do I continue to wear a tie and slacks everyday or, do I claim too busy with school to maintain, and join the crowd and go open collar and jeans to get more contest wear in.

            Serious first world problem here.”

            @fanya - my $0.02:  lose the tie. jeans with a dress/sport shirt tucked in. and nice casual shoes or boots.  bust ass / make your mark with the quantity/quality of work you do.

            Remember, at the end of the day banks fall into the financial business category resulting in conservative practices.  So not advisable showing up like a Steven Tyler roadie… lol

              Just realizing now that I have a couple of whipcord jackets that I have no idea how to wash this stuff when the time comes.

              I checked the care instructions section, and didn't see any "official" instructions posted from the IH crew.

              Anyone who owns the 816 whipcords have info?

                  Collaborations…

                  I know IH has done quite a few vendor collabs, worldwide. But, not many brand villas that I can recall (I only know if Aero, Alexander Leathers, Simmons Bilt, Wesco, and Viberg).

                  Is there ever the slightest chance to do a collaboration with other denim brands, as a few other Japanese denim brands have done?

                  I have a serious stiffy for something like an IHxPBJ collab... They've made some substantial denims before... There's currently a 22oz raw/unsanforized on the market...

                  *** I'm sure this is far bigger of a topic than a forum post could cover, but it's an interesting question, nonetheless

                    IH Japan did a collaboration with Jelado some years ago, I believe that's the only one so far.

                      I'm not sure H would jump at the idea.  We both love Ken-ichi san, but I think our aesthetics are pretty different…..

                        I still dream of like, just a fabric swap…

                          A 634 with PBJ denim would make me happy, but I suspect Haraki would have to be blackout drunk for 12-18 months before that would have any chance at all of happening.
