I have found myself totally converting my wardrobe over the last couple of years.
Bottoms, full IH. Flannels and shirts in general as well.
A far as 'quality' clothing is concerned, there's the occasional Merz tee and Andersen wool sweater, but that's about it. Oh and, jackets from other brands of course.

In the 'cheap' category nothing will replace my music/automotive t-shirts, though.

I’m also at about 90% all IH all the time. Just a smattering of items from other brands that ,as time goes on,get worn less and less.

I do plan on picking up a sweater when my wife and I head to Iceland this summer before Gosport. So there is that...maybe I'll get one with a puffin on it. The extras in a few Sigur Ros videos make me green with envy with sweater envy.

About sums me up as well

@Oaktavia I’m about the same as @goosehd it took me about two years to replace 90-95% of my wardrobe with IH. I have only IH jeans, shirts, shorts and jackets.. still have yet to submit to IH t-shirts, I love my UES slub tees and can’t see those going anywhere. I am about to order my first IH tee though so that could change

@sabergirl this is where I’m at too. I like my graphic tees for chopper and bmx brands. They’re all such small companies, gotta support them too. But tees to me are practically underwear too. So aside from tees, undies, and socks, all IH. Oh and my leather jacket. Still waiting for the IHxSB that’s gonna dethrone that….

and socks

You're definitely missing something there….

[WhiskeySandwich]

@tody I’d love to try some IH socks, but I go thru some socks bro. Dickies work socks only. lol.

This is the one.

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 which shirts you lookin at? 6oz vs 7.5oz vs 11oz all quite different.

@neph93 those look so nice. I am really looking forward to choosing one in person.

@WhiskeySandwich I just got a pair of IH engineer socks and was really happy with the quality. I generally wear Darn Tough socks, but iron heart socks are just as if not better IMO.

Anyone who tried to starch soft denim (specifically: Sashiko) to make it stiff(er) and can share some instructions and insights based on their experience? I've read some of the relevant posts on the forum already, but I'm wondering if there are any specific/recent/easier/better methods without having to reinvent the wheel and possibly mess up something irreversibly.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@bluemantra ooh really?

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia I’m thinking the 6.5oz longer body cut in a navy and a dark grey to start with… I love the look of the 11oz but always feel it looks a little short in the body. Guess I need to try one on and find out?

Have 21oz Type 3s been made in ladies sizes before?

I'd love to get hold of one for my girl as a birthday present, she's actively taken an interest in my denim/IH collection so I thought it'd be cute.

She even insisted on wearing my Wabash jacket out last weekend

@T4920 no answer to your question but just a big JEEJ for you! A girl and she loves denim boy isn’t she a keeper?

[T4920]

@Heavy_blue gotta plan a triple denim date before it gets too warm!

[goosehd]

@T4920 I don't know if there has been a ladies specific size in the 21oz type 3, but depending on her size you may get away with one of the smaller size men's jackets (either the Men's small or XS).

My wife is typically a women's medium in IH shirts and jackets which is around a xs or small in the men's. The tapering is not quite the same though from the men's to women's cuts.

EDIT: I just checked the online IH Japan website and do not see the Type 3 in ladies sizes.

@T4920 This might help you with sizing:

@Giles said in Something For The Ladies:

We have decided that we will start stocking a few ladies sized shirts in the more popular styles.  So inbound we have.

Ladies Small and Ladies Medium (both smaller than our normal XS) in:

IHSH-13, IHSH-21 and IHSH-33

More will follow.

Sizing will be published in the appropriate threads when we have them here.

@goosehd planning to grab the ladies herringbone UHF from the outlet with my next order, thanks for the info! I think XS would be best, she's 160cm and quite slim.
