Enjoyed taking the IHV-51-BRN out for a spin today. Baby’s first brunch.

Loving this combo: IHSH-292, IH-526PJ

My colleagues don’t even know…

Looks like I got a goldilocks fit with this one. Slim enough to wear over a t and look good, and roomy enough over a shirt to wear comfortably. Went usual size of XL. Thanks to the IHUK team as always, beautiful piece

Soaking up a 16C day in June (i.e. still cool enough for the IH-526PJ)

What a treat to get to whip out the IHSH-397 in June . Have also implemented the drying hands after washing on sleeve for crease setting. Works well.

It’s all IH today. 888-142od.

First IH piece was the IHSH-288 Kersey work shirt in July of ‘22. Was so impressed with the fabric and construction.. it made me an immediate IH loyalist.

Big day at work so had to bring the heat

SEXIH25 Indigo vs IHSH-292 CPOs

For most pictures, SEXIH25 on the left, 292 on the right. Except for the Frankenstein shirt below.

The SEXIH25 is probably a more visually interesting denim, with some of that kasuri look with more specs of ecru from the weft popping through. It’s more of a deeper, darker indigo than the vintage 18oz. Slubbier as well for sure.

The 1oz difference is surprisingly noticeable. The 19oz is definitely hefty.

I do love the vintage 18oz denim though. Hairier, lighter shade of indigo, and soft once broken in (as I’m sure SEXIH25 will be too, though pretty soft off the get go).

Here the 292 is on the left. My 292 is about a year old and I’ve put some decent wear on it, but no washes and it’s not particularly far along its fading journey.

Fit pics, because why not. I love the fit of my 292, ever so slightly roomy as intended and very comfortable. The SEXIH25 is a tiny but more snug all around, but hoping as it breaks in it loosens just a little. Both XL and measure similarly. SEXIH25 is about .25” tighter in all ways.

Excuse the face, I’m actually happy today .

Full IH fit today:

• new IHSH-189-BRN
• IHSH-288-IND
• 21oz 633s

Got my hands on my XL. Thanks to the IH team for sorting one with good measurements for me. Even with similar or even slightly larger measurements than my 292, this one feels slimmer. Don’t have much room for layering other than a t shirt or thinner henley, but in this run that’s probably the way to go rather than trying XXL which would probably be too large in the shoulder and sleeve. What a great shirt. Can’t wait to put some wear into this.

Apologies for the duplicated content on IHV-51-BRN, but it’s a similar experience.

I’m in Tokyo on a Japan honeymoon trip and paid a visit to the Hachioji store on Friday. It was a great visit and the staff were super helpful. I am an L in the N1 so I figured the same here. L was too snug, even over just a tee shirt, so the XL (larger of my L/XL range) is perfect. I loved the look of this piece in the preview, but hadn’t really earmarked to buy. But seeing it in person, damn is this going to be a useful and heavily worn jacket. It’s a great weight, and will be the one you grab without having to think. For the guys living in warmer climates yearning for an N1, I think you’ll be very happy. And for me who doesn’t live in a warm climate.. I think it’s awesome.

Hotel room is too chaotic and small for a fit pic!

@Danimal506 ask and you shall receive brother too late to send your mom in an uber to the store?

Fit pics. Fabric is still obviously totally fresh so it’s hanging a bit boxy but sure it will settle after a couple of wears.

I’m in Tokyo on a Japan honeymoon trip and paid a visit to the Hachioji store on Friday. It was a great visit and loved chatting with the staff who were very helpful. I was really hoping this piece would be there by my visit… and it had arrived that morning. It’s beautiful - maybe a hair lighter (weight) than the images suggested, but a great piece.

I am an L in the N1 so I figured the same here. L was too snug to be used to layer, so the XL (larger of my L/XL range) is perfect. Going to be a super useful piece and is really great in person! Hope the sizing info can help you guys eyeing this piece.

Finally got my hands on my Indigo. Here it is in Lake Tahoe. Beautiful denim, great heft and a soft crunch kind of feel. When home I’ll post a 292 vs this guy, I read a comment earlier looking for a direct fabric comparison.
