    • RE: STF-SBZR-IND - STF Sashiko Blazer - Indigo

      I recently bought a fixer-upper house in Sydney and nearly all my budget is going into doing the renovation the right way. Haven't bought anything beyond a couple tees in the last 8 months or so because my closet is already so full of amazing IH pieces. But, I saw this in my inbox this morning and it was 100% me, so I grabbed one. Guess I can save money on lighting somewhere to justify it. 🙂

      Why isn't this shirt more popular? I don't think there's even competition for me that this is my favorite IH denim shirt. I wore it hiking Angel's Landing today with my 18 oz 555s. Sorry, the ensemble didn't make it up Observation Point as well, as that was more of a speed-oriented running outing.

      Oops. Never posted pics. Really like this one:

      Bonus cat to match the cat hat (he has a movement disorder, hence the odd looking leg stance):

      Got it; love it. Pics to come. This will work well for me to dress up what is frequently perhaps an overly casual look while working at a university in a hot, very humid environment (a lot of 6.5 and 7.5 oz tees with shorts).

    • RE: Wear and Repair

      This is awesome! I've always had my wife take care of repairs for me and probably won't ever need to ship anything back since she's so capable, but keeping products alive and out of landfills is fantastic.

      I've had this for ~3 1/2 years now. It's probably been worn about 150-175 times in that time and hasn't been washed yet. Looks good so far, but still has a looooong way to go!

    • RE: IHJ-75-KHA - Primaloft® Gold and eVent® Mountain Parka - Khaki

      Just grabbed the last small and quite like it. The primary use aside from a warm winter jacket will be high altitude winter camping, and I wanted a jacket that will function but also look good. I'm curious about the fabric though. Pertex and eVent are competing brands, but both are stated. It appears to be eVent based on tags, but Pertex Shield is named in a few places. My impression is that IH switched from Pertex Shield to of of the event DV fabrics (my older IHJ-11, for example, has a Pertex Shield tag where this has the eVent waterproof tag). Am I misunderstanding something? Which specific eVent one is it this, btw?

      Cheesing it up:

      Wore this to Oktoberfest today. Don't worry; some poor-quality lederhosen are coming tomorrow.  😃

      @landownunder let's say $170 AUD for one or $320 for both (shipped). Would love to keep it domestic and easy!

      Hi @Gimli, I'm planning to list an IHJ-64-BLK (black leather type 3) and an IHSB-ANJ4 (IH x Simmons Bilt shearling flight jacket), both size S. Might be 1 or 2 more on top of that. We'll see. 🙂

    • 555s, 777s, 721s (indigo and black jeans, chinos) size 29-32

      Been a little while. Need to get rid of some pants I don't wear anymore. There will be a couple jackets to follow that haven't been worn in the 3 years since I've moved to Sydney. 🙂

      I am located in Sydney, Australia. If you buy 2 or more pairs, shipping is free worldwide. If buying one, please add $25 USD to cover part of the shipping worldwide (free shipping in Australia even for one). If shipping to the US, I'll be in the US the first week of January. If purchasing lines up with those dates, I'm happy to ship for free.

      Pay via PPFF. Haven't been on the forum too much recently, but I have a long history and lots of people can vouch for me if needed.

      Note that all 4 pairs have just been washed and measurements reflect this. They may stretch a bit with wear (I would expect this more with the jeans than the chinos)

      1. IH-555-03 size 29 (unhemmed). (21 oz, black).

      Price: $160 USD.

      Measurements:
      Waist: 14.9"
      Inseam: 35"
      Front rise: 9.9"
      Back rise: 14.2"
      Thigh: 10.3"
      Knee: 6.9"
      Hem: 6.7"

      Condition: minimal fading as seen. No damage to speak of. Lightly worn, no repairs have been made, crotch is in good shape. Unhemmed, and were worn cuffed for the little wear they've had.

      Thigh: 11.3"
      Knee: 7.9"
      Hem: 7.3"

      Condition: faded as seen. Thinned on front and back of both cuffs as seen. Bit of tearing at top of right back pocket, thinned around pocket rivets. No repairs have been made, crotch is in good shape. Most worn areas are shown in the 3rd photo.

    • RE: IHM-35-ODG - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Olive

      Just grabbed one of these from SE when they added a bit more stock online and happy with it. Had previously sold a navy N1 when moving down under, but I realised that was a mistake and it would have been the perfect jacket for mild winters here (but nice when often in areas without heating at a fairly cold temperature for a long period of time). Navy wasn't really the right colour for me, having pets, but the olive is terrific. Compared to my older navy (2018 IHM-29), it seems that the same size has slightly longer sleeves and a slightly shorter but slightly looser body. Quite happy with it, particularly the longer sleeves. Will take a pic with it whenever I remember. 🙂
