Anyone got recommendations for chino-style shorts in navy/khaki/olive? Along the lines of the IH West Point shorts

[jordanscollected]

@Tago-Mago UES makes some nice shorts, but maybe not as clean of a look as you are after. https://japaneseselvagejeans.com/en/collections/shorts?srsltid=AfmBOoosDG5hHOlnDImGzzWnJCRYQ5lyjtUBdnND9VUbQO8fCp01L9n9

@jordanscollected I did look at UES and I do like their polo shirts for example. I’d like a navy pair, which they don’t offer at the moment as far as I can tell

[jordanscollected]

speaking of shorts, here's a random question. Who is the target market for these?https://www.selfedge.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3751&search=shorts

Maybe I just need to be rich to understand $1200 shorts (or Rick Owens style in general).

Seen a whole load of rinsed jeans recently. Could someone explain the difference between rinsed and one wash as I can’t find anything online? Thanks

[Alex]

@Gavin666 IMO they are synonymous in our world

What is THE IH denim jacket to have, if you could only own one?

[AdamJ]

@RobeOfTheMagi IH-526Lod or IH-526PJ - in my opinion

Ultimately though, the beauty of it is working out your favourite! There are some jackets that slip under the radar and then become popular like @SamD IHJ-122-IND or jackets you don't realise you need 'till they're gone such as @AdamC IHJ-85-NAV

[Mister_Brue]

An impossible question to answer of course, but the IHJ-115-IND would definitely be up there on my shortlist.

@RobeOfTheMagi Lefty Trucker

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@Mister_Brue That's not an obvious choice, is it?

@Oaktavia and @AdamJ I love the fabric of the Lefty (OD). Unfortunately I do not love the cut; I'm not into long trucker jackets.

@RobeOfTheMagi Maybe it would help us with suggestions if you list some of the criteria (likes/dislikes) of what your’e looking for.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

My intention was more like a pooling of ideas of your overall favourites. But you're right @goosehd, here are my criteria:

• Versatility: Can be worn (with some layering) most of the year.
• Fabric: Rugged but comfy, makes me want to wear it all the time.
• Fade Potential: Can and will fade (vintage or high contrast, doesn't matter).
• Length: Rather short or cropped.
• Style: Timeless, nothing fashionable (but that counts for all IG gear I suppose).

PS: The sleeves, especially the forearms, must be quite roomy.

526J or 527J i think are the only things that fit your needs above

[goosehd]

Seconded on the 526J

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Thank you sweeties!

[Go For Chill]

@ShopatIronHeart Just curious; are there any indigo/black jean releases in the pipeline for the near future? In any fit or weight?

[AdamJ]

@Go-For-Chill 14oz indigo/black in production in all cuts, should be here soon hopefully

[Alex]
