14 months in, my 634 Anni is in need of little sashiko by the crotch.
Arcuates are starting to detach, beautifully in my opinion.
Time to rotate to my 25Oz

No better way to fade my 21oz denim outfit than picking grapes from a 150 plus years old vine, at the old family house by the lakes in northern Italy

My 634 Anni turned 1y old a few days ago
I worn them a good 330 days, with a few days off to rotate new cuts and a couple of weeks of the hottest summer in Milan since god knows.

In the last 12 months my father got sick, my son broke a leg and we skipped all possible vacations.
But I’ve also been promoted to manager, have a great family and found time to go back to my kung fu gym.
It’s been a dense year, and I’m happy I was wearing my 634S-A throughout

I took this pictures a few days ago in Paris, before my 4th wash. Today they also got rain washed alongside the 526L under a deluge.

I’m fading my left side way more that the right one. Weird.
They need hard wear for a few months more.

A few quick shots I took during this first day of wear.

Fabric is superb, UHF heavy like and warm; the cloth is dense and firm. Love it

Great shirt, love the texture and feel of the fabric

I love this shirt

130~ days.
Pics shot during the weekly Sunday off-day, breathing in fresh air.

Whiskers are more pronounced than just a month ago.
Looking good!
Fabric feels softer and silkier with each passing day.

Wearing my new 526LOD a few minutes at 33°C+ just to capture a shot.
Picked an L, just the perfect right size

Here's the 526LOD compared to a Reloved 526J I recently purchased.
The 21oz has no side pockets: I like the style better, but the inner sides of the of the hand warmers are so handy (no pun intended).

Can't say which one I love best; I'll love 'em both link I'm bigamist!

This vest has been my goto single layer / under layer / over layer all winter. Such a handy and comfy piece

Ops! I bled some indigo over a wall in a meeting room at work

Thanks everyone at IH for this new UI, modern, easy to browse and read, mainly on mobile devices.

It’s a huge, huge improvement for such a lively forum.
Well done!

@Brandrea I ended up needing an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of all my IH denim cuts, shirts, t-shirts and jackets and sweaters and mugs and socks

Lucky me I don’t like silver jewelry.

And I guess you haven’t yet hit the outlet or the ReLoved sections and the for sale threads!

@Supersonic still holding out of a wash as well, with 4 solid days a week of wearing the 368.
It’s been over three months now.

I also like that you can have the forum open on iPhone and iPad separately from Safari, like an indipendent app.

Just open the forum in Safari, tap the share icon and choose Add to Home Screen.
The website fav icon will be the forum “app” icon.
The forum will open full screen in its own page.

Nice Tapatalk replacement.

New to this wonderful coffee thread, but pouring over for the last 20 years or so
Way before I entered the magic world of selvedge denim (denim love at large is still earlier to me, like I was 10 y/o, Paninari time in my childwood).

As coffee is concerned I settled on a weekly rotation of V60 to Kalita, Chemex for the weekend days.
I source coffee all over Europe, but mainly from local Italian specialty coffee roasters such as Bugan Coffee Lab or Gardelli, and His Majesty the Coffee.

This is a Rwanda Gitwae 504, Honey processed, filtered with a Kalita. Hand ground with a Helor 101.

Enjoy your coffee!

@Heavy_blue
It’s Saturday morning, the beasts are bone dry (took 24+h) and ready to break in.

After the warm soak the fabric shrank ½ in at the waist, same at the inseam, as planned.

I must have developed trained thumbs as I hardly had any issues buttoning up, nothing compared to my first UHR.
Anyway, oh boy, these are stiff jeans

Walking around makes the distinctive heavy denim clonk flop clonk flop sound, but after half an hour of shuffling the top block already feels comfortable and fits like a glove.

I have to get used to the slightly lower rise of the 666 compared to the 634 cut, but I still have to let the denim stretch more in every direction.

Now, out for a long walk!

Here are a few pics I took of the first wear after the soak.

@Matt Hey, I swear I wasn’t scratching my back like a bear on a tree, just leaning on the edge with my shoulder!

Thanks @Giles & @october-rust

Chainstitched arcuate is helding up great. This is overall a though pair of jeans!
