      Probably my most worn outfit lately: black 11 oz tee, black 21 oz 555, Alden snuff suede plaza Indy, and random ebbets. Well-worn IH tochigi belt in natural Uber there. Pretty close in colour to the shoes at this point. Very into black IH lately and need to grab a black waffle knit as well.

      Got notified of my academic promotion and confirmation (I.e. tenure) late last week and it gets announced in a big meeting today. Appropriate that I'm wearing the most "me" clothes I have.

    • 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. 🙂

    • RE: IHSH-33-T - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt With Tonal Stitching - Indigo

      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.

    • RE: IHJ-64-BLK - Horsehide Modified Type III Jacket - Black (Tea-Core Dyed)

      Apparently I've had this for 8+ years now. Time flies!

      Biggest difference is I seem to always roll the cuff up -- seems like I'm the only one that does that, but I like the fit a lot that way on pretty much everything it seems when it's not winter!

      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):

    • RE: IH-555S-142ib - 14oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black

      Long time no post. Need a better picture, but got a new pair of these and will be the daily wear pair (hopefully I manage to wear jeans more this upcoming summer here in Syddney). Size 30, fits well, a touch snug in the waist on first wear, so will be perfect after a day or so. Worn here with snuff suede Alden Indy on plaza and a 7.5 oz 555 tee. Have converted 95% to 14 oz since moving here 3.5 years ago and happier for it in the weather we have. 🙂

    • 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:
