@SonnyTheElder are you a fellow Aussie, or somewhere else south of the equator?
I'm in California, one of the few who complains about the weather in these parts! I just run quite hot, so the days where it's chilly enough to wear a UHF comfortably are few for me. Luckily, today happened to be one of those days!

Congrats @Daniel-San and @thooy05 on the chore coat pickups!
I went from 0 to 2 leather jackets this year, so I'm going to lock up the credit card to avoid ruffling the wife's feathers who has been quite patient so far. 
I got in on the Scar Kakishibu chore coat preorder and was quite stoked it landed a good six months ahead of the original estimate. I love it and can't wait to get some wear in before it gets too warm but goodness, the button holes give IH 25oz. denim a run for their money!
Now that summer is around the corner, the 25th Anniversary Grizzly I bought earlier this year is going into hibernation until it cools off again... which given Seattle, it may be as soon as next week.

Trying to get a few more wears of my UHF before I have to put them away for the California spring/summer. The western cut, fire pit, and bull skull made for an interesting accidental "Old West" vibe. 
The fades aren't winning any awards any time soon, but going on just over 2 years with these and I'm loving how they're progressing after their most recent wash.

It’s finally cool enough that I can start wearing my IH shirts! As long as I stay out of the sun and don’t elevate my heart rate. Even then I probably won’t make it past midday!
I can certainly relate to this! 
I have two UHF shirts and despite how amazing they are and how many good ones come out each season, I don't think I'll acquire many more given how perfect the conditions have to be for me to wear them without overheating.
Outstanding! Just curious, what sort of activity results in such crazy wear? I'd probably need a lifetime to get that sort of wear on a jacket.
@CosmoSix5 I'm guessing the fit with this vest is supposed to be a more traditional, shorter cut meant to hit at waist level instead of hips, sort of like that non-modified Type 3 you're currently selling. Not a bad thing per-se but can be trickier to pull off for taller gents like you and me.

First forum member to produce video of them using IH jeans as a flotation device gets a free pair of jeans from IHUK ( I don’t have the power to make this happen…legal disclaimer)
Paging @denim-dawg, this sounds right up his alley! 
@northsouthdenimguy I'm a 13 heel-to-toe, 13.5 heel-to-ball and low-volume, low-arch feet so I went with 12s at first but have since moved up to 13 with an orthotic. Slimmer pickings but far better fit overall.

Congrats to those who snagged a pair. I was in the middle of Death Valley camping during the release so I completely missed out. Oh well, I'll get them in when they restock in a few years!
@m4xime Contrary to most retailers and Viberg's own advice, I only size down .5 size from my Brannock across the Viberg lasts I own (2030, 2040, and 2050) with the sole exception of the 2010 slipper last, which I went down 1.5 sizes from Brannock. While Viberg lasts tend run a bit longer than other boot makers, they also tend to have a more defined taper in the toe. I've found out for myself the hard way that by sizing down more than .5, the flex point of my foot was too far forward and my toes were cramped in the toe box.
Echoing John Galt's point above, finding a retailer that allows returns/exchanges will be your best bet.
