@Anesthetist thanks man! Those are looking unreal.

Excited about this pickup. Tried them on in Portland a few months ago and have thought about them ever since. Jumped on the SE sale this week, wasn’t able to get exact measurements but it seems like it worked out. First ever pair of IH denim, after many tops. Very excited about this 21oz.

@stitchdown-shell oh hells yeah dawg. Looks perfect!

@IH-GARY I learned of it yesterday haha. Been listening to the Cuttin’ Grass version for months and didn’t realise. I like the SV version but think the CG version is perfection.

Genuinely think this tune is a contender for song of the decade:

@RDKING_Vicla fits pics?

@Denimminer killer fit!

Is there any easy way to know which IH products are available in Japan vs IH internal (only)? For example, are any of the CPOs available in Japan or are they mainly IH international?

Looking for some insight. I previously had a Merz B 214 shirt in Large which I bought about 3 years ago. Recently I had a laundry mishap and gave my large some bleach discoloration. I anyway needed a size up so bought an XL.

The XL came and has been worn and washed a couple of times. The collar on this one seems to want to separate and peak from my neck. It’s really bothering me. Do you think I’m being too nit picky or am I justified in contacting them? My large from a few years ago doesn’t do this.

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 .

IHSH-292

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.

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.

@SKT haven’t washed yet so not sure on shrinkage. I don’t think I’ve gotten any stretch - maybe marginal. It’s kind of a moleskin type fabric, don’t think there’s too much stretch in it.

@SKT Vagabond shorts are excellent. I picked up a pair of the green ones last summer and absolutely love them. I'm a true waist 35.5 or so, and the 33s fit great.

@jpvisual I tried a BB two days ago to try and help gauge sizing. In the L and XL I tried, I found the L to measure pretty small and it was too tight. XL was perfect. I ordered a Large in the IB yesterday as the measurements more closely resembled the XL BB I tried. So I think the IBs are running a little larger this run than the BB.

@Mizmazzle looks like it was fantastic time in Ireland - thrilled to see it. Seeing the Cliffs from the water on a very sunny day, is a major flex! . Hope you know how lucky you got with the weather they’ve been having. Looking forward to following the next chapter!

We are In Business (IB). I'll see myself out...

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

@mclaincausey I think they felt hamstrung by having the word mandolin in the name. It was tough news, I loved “Mandolin Orange”!

@SKT such a great album. I go back to it all the time. Albums since then are great too.
