Apologies as not the model nor photographer (but at least no urinal in the photo ... lmao jk) as some of you pretty people, but these pants are freaking killer. So comfortable and thanks to @Bailey for pulling out a great fitting pair.

New jacket and pants day. Spring head cold notwithstanding, very happy w/ new gear! ... just in time for Denver "record breaking heat" today

I'm tired af, but new leather jacket day! It's a large and I think the fit is pretty solid/allows for a bit of layering and easy movement. I'll need to do some research, but would you all treat it w/ anything ... mustang paste, other oil? Chrome tanned tea-core and all ... unsure. At any rate, I'm digging it.

Yeah, boyeeeeee

I downsized from my Tenere 1200 a while back ... I'm going to get a mid-sized scoot at some point, but this is a fun grocery getter in the meantime.

I like brown duck and I cannot lie, so yoinked XL in the western. I requested "dimensions no larger than listed/slightly smaller fine" so probably frustrated IH team a bit . My work untucked is L, but the specs between the work L and western XL are fairly similar. I swear I can stop this habit anytime I want.

Man I'm excited for this and it will be my first and only vest (but now I also want a brown duck one). I had to delay shipping until next week as not around the house to sign for it ... IH crew is always amazing w/ shipping requests and my UPS driver is great as far as the last mile goes. I want it now!

Yo folks. Denver, CO since '92, but my heart is still in the Midwest (WI originally).

Rather than go larger, perhaps some exercise and eat 'mo better? My IH collection will be the carrot (or stick) to keep myself in check. All I can say is that at 54, I'm in better physical shape than my 30's/40's. Stationary exercise bike, rowing machine, TRX stuff and better diet. <Insert Ralph Wiggum "I'm helping" emoji here>

@SKT If Iron Heart made pants to telemark in, it would be these. Pics please.

Yoink. Grabbed a large ... really hoping it works out. Shoulder seems a bit large, but looking at what the staff wears ... Closer to Ben/Bailey than AJ (do wonder why Graham went XL).

Not the best photos showcasing the fabric , but my washer/modest dryer abuse got it down to a pretty good size for me. I'm good with it. Now I'm thinking I should have taken the photos w/ my new Naked and Famous sashiko pants lol. Patch has seen better days.

Justin Townes Earle. I love everything he put out. Taken too soon.

@mclaincausey Ha, you got me. Still listen to them ... got some good stuff out of Son Volt and Wilco as well, but UT was my band back in the day. I really can't get JTE off of heavy rotation these days though. Listening to a bunch of John McCauley/Deer Tick too.

@motojobobo Thanks! The addiction started early ...

@SourPower ... Not quite that impulsive ... put a bit more thought into it and then "settled" for the more modest 3A/21" version. Great customer service from Adam. Loving it!

I think I might need this shirt ... oh the mystery of the new leather.

@Denman-John said in IH-739-IND - 10.5oz Narrow Hickory Cargo Pants - Indigo:

Is there any stretch to be expected in the waist?

These are interesting ... I usually go 33 or 34 from IH, but it's looking like 32's on these (if I pull the trigger). From the product description ...

Stretch Details

• This fabric is not expected to stretch significantly at the waist or in other areas

@CosmoSix5 RoxRocks86 said "Decided to give it a hot wash and dryer spin today ..." Good info ... I'm going to need to baby this one as my large fits well but I don't want it to shrink one bit.
