First IH shirt that isn’t a UHF and what a wee belter! Lovely and soft; thick and substantial feeling but different from the way the uhf feels. Love that it looks like a denim shirt from afar but isn’t and that it looks like cord but it isn’t - it’s in a class all of its own

Some new to me 555s along side my own pair of five year old 555s. Loving both for different looks, different events, different fades too

Spotted Dan Auerbach of the black keys rocking what looked like some sbg but wasn’t sure of the model. And his belt looked like IH too.

Two years of wear on these. Definitely my favourite and most well worn pair. They’re a little too loose (or at least looser than they were at purchase, but they might’ve been too tight then ) following 20kg of weight loss since they were purchased but still fit pretty good with a belt I think? Eyeing my next pair with new sizing in mind is a bit daunting now mind you

Thank you for all your input dudes. I think a few people have hit the nail on the head with prices. The J35 or Real McCoys j100 are about the same and I get the impression that if I can get the sizing right, one of them will be an incredible investment whereas the Belstaff might be a bit more ‘fashionable’. If I’m honest, I feel the fit was decent but the fact it has the emblem on the sleeve is a little…ostentatious maybe?

@John-Galt yeah I saw the oiled suede version - which do look cool - but I’m feeling the cxl leather ones just purely for how they age

@Slash ok so my thoughts had been to go with a 32 which is one up from my normal 555 size this has given me food for thought. Thank you for your reply mate, appreciate it

@Slash what size did you go for in these? Did you size up compared to your 555s? Have they stretched a little with wear? Sorry for all the questions - just your fit looks absolutely on point perfecto

@John-Galt those look so good. Been looking for a pair of rolling dub caspers but getting hold of a pair in black is a nightmare - not to mention the apparent sizing lottery too. You might just have sent me off to fill that Casper shaped hole…

@John-Galt what are your vibergs?

I just got my pair through the post from R&H yesterday. I think I first considered these as a potential option for work a couple of years ago (maybe 3) so they’re something of a grail purchase for me and wow, they are something else. Sized up one from my 555s and they’re perfect. I have had chinos from a few different brands over the years and always associate chinos as a soft sort of laundered fabric almost fluffy/moleskin/twill depending on the brand but to call these simply chinos is, I think, a disservice to them (but isn’t that kinda always the way with this IH gear? It’s never just a pair of jeans/shirt/jacket; it’s always something extra, aknots intangible and of the utmost excellence). There is definitely the cut and pockets etc that you’d expect from a chino, but the fabric is more akin to a work pant like dickies or carhartt but with a lustre and comfort that puts those others in the shade. And obvs they are bulletproof in terms of construction and hardware and then that spicy wee flash of selvage. Delicious.
