The items on my BLB swing forward enough to tuck partially in my pocket. No rattling for me with this method.

@motojobobo Thanks! The addiction started early ...

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.

Pants received. They fit great and I'm glad I grabbed them. My preference would be that the waist button would be riveted like all my other cargo pants/jeans, but hopefully it will wear well (and expect it can be easily replaced if not).

On a Midwest music kick. Charlie Parr is pretty freaking great.

It's a good time for some Doomtree. No kings.

Might there be a planned restock of this? Many thanks.

Yeah, plain t's ... either white or dark will look slick imo as the indigo is dominant. I think a denim jacket will look fine as well.

Unable to resist these. Choo-choo

@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

Great thread folks. Mushrooms have been a life/game changer for me, kicking some bad habits and triggering a health/fitness lifestyle I didn't know I had in me ... sadly it took until my 50's to find it. Good stuff!

Any Will Oldham/Bonnie Prince Billy fans?

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.

@AdamC ... I'd promise to give it back when you've lost the weight. I kid, mostly

@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!

Yeah, boyeeeeee

@SourPower Nice to meet you as well @SourPower ... I had that boutonnière in my mitts for a moment (congrats!), but couldn't leave without a Goosebumps Spring Ring for my Belt Loop Buddy. Now I've got that Model 10 Long Chain on my brain ... it's dangerous to leave the house sometimes.

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!

@CosmoSix5 Yeah, I would be careful as the sleeve length looks good for you as it is. I wish I had taken measurements and before photos ... I'd guess the sleeve length shrunk almost 1 inch? Mostly, the sleeves seemed way too baggy before the hot wash (and a bit of dryer). The jacket was just too big all around, but I'm satisfied after the wash/dry. I also really didn't like the general sheen of it and rather lifeless look of it as was mentioned. I was pretty unhappy when I took it out of the bag as well, but it's a keeper for me now ... not up to IH specs, but that's a very high bar. If you machine wash it, also be prepared for the "Sashiko" cloth patch to fray ... it's not coming off yet, but the edges are quite ragged and frayed up to the stitches. Just like the leather patch, not something I really care about, but if you do ...

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.
