Reminds me of:

Found a photo of my old pair of 634S on my phone which I no longer wear (but still have) ever since converting to exclusively wearing 888s:

It's apparently been four years with this one...

A cozy fleece jacket (I edited the photo of an existing green Patagonia jacket below as a mock-up/example to illustrate what I mean):

• turquoise like the IHSH-287-TUR
• high pile fleece
• double vertical zippers, zipped side pockets, inside pockets, two way zippers
• full cream, black or orange hardware contrast details

I noticed that my 85 % blue-tinted glasses weren’t the best for daily use when it comes to blocking the sun. So I went to the optician and ordered 85% grey-tinted prescription lenses for my black pair of Ichikawas instead. I then had them install the blue-tinted lenses from the black pair into my beige pair of Ichikawas. Now the beige pair has a purpose and will be worn in less extreme sunlight conditions.

@cityofdelusion 0.8mm suede brown horsehide? Couldn't resist, so here we are.

And here's a bad quality fit photo:

Sat down and made a tutorial video explaining how to fix a pulled thread / snag in (Sashiko) fabric. Hope it'll help others!

(Also produced my own soundtrack to prevent any music-related copyright issues )

Added another gem to my collection

Paired with 888-SBG and GAH ring.

IHJ-138, 888D & Bleu de Chauffe

To be continued...

Just received my Smokey D Racer jacket. Just fantastic.

I love how every time I go on my own profile, my "best post" (most upvoted post) on the forum is shown as me comparing the Iron Heart Rubber Coin Case to the Babybel cheese:

Here's an update on my Japan Blue Sashiko Overall Jacket that I've been wearing frequently for more than a month now:

There isn't any thread (yet?) for the Model 31, so I'll post it here instead. I love the simplicity and elegance of the Model 31 which at first might come across as too "usual" or "standard", but is an absolute delight to wear and look at nevertheless.

Model 25 (left) vs. Model 31 (right) - photo taken on my Japan Blue Sashiko Coverall Jacket. Hope you enjoy the somewhat "artsy" photo I tried to create.

Yeah, the new ones are sanforized and one-washed, so little to no shrinkage to be expected.

Just received these Ichikawas - bargained and bought them second-hand for slightly under 400€.

Today is a good day.

It's here - my custom order 1.0-1.1mm Single Legend (Cafe Racer) Jacket:

Words aren't enough right now, to describe how thrilled I am with how my custom jacket turned out to be... So I will come back to this thread when I have the right words to describe how amazing this jacket is...

Note: The size is NOT custom - it's a stock size 38. The only custom changes are hardware and leather related.

Just received this (IMHO) insane and rare hoodie:

After @Fades-for-future did some great detective work and identified these as the IHSW-38, I was able to find out that they were exclusively produced for the Japanese market / not sold internationally. Also, these were produced before 2020/2021 which is, as @Alex kindly confirmed, approximately when IH started producing their hoodies slightly longer than they used to. I'm a huge fan of the older, shorter versions of IH hoodies. And since a) those won't be produced anymore, b) there aren't many of the older versions out there for sale and c) I didn't have a black IH hoodie yet (only grey and navy, so far), I just had to get these.

Normally, I'm not a printed T-Shirt, hoodie, jacket etc. type of guy. So would I have wanted a fully plain hoodie? Yes. But the print on this particular hoodie is (unexpectedly) super nice and reflects the rough character and high quality of IH that I love and appreciate so much.

Just received my IHJ-69-KHA. I love my IHJ-69-BRN (Brown) which I bought in 2019 and have been wearing pretty much every spring/summer - until my girlfriend recently took an interest in it... Hence, the IHJ-69-KHA is my new companion now.

Thank you @JoshC and @Graham!
