@RoxRocks86 thanks Rox!! Yeah I know a little bit about fighting to not have to exchange the wardrobe every season

@Oaktavia man what a blast following your journey with this shirt. Can't believe that it's already a year now!!

@don_pipone it is

Way too hot and humid to wear anything other than a tee at the moment but was able to take it out early in the morning for a short walk with Frida

@RobeOfTheMagi very cool, nice patina on the watch also!!

@RobeOfTheMagi wrong thread but since you mentioned Seiko, I love my Seiko Laurel Alpinist! But the latest releases are also not sparking too much excitement for me

@SourPower 2nd pair of RDT for you, no? Congrats they look amazing. Am thinking about snagging a pair of Stan chelsea boots

@RoxRocks86 same for me!! Always liked the fitted cuts but since I went 634 I never looked back, like how it looks and appreciate the extra room especially with the thighs since I started to lift weights again couple years ago.

The 555xhsbb are a bit of a unicorn, I sized them like I would size an 888 but they are just inbetween a 555 and an 888 and I love them

@RoxRocks86 fit looks amazing!! I love that the xhs 555 cuts are a little roomier than the lighterweight ones, my 555 xhsbb fit more like an 888 and that's why I decided to keep them after realising that 555 is not the cut for me. Excited to see what you do with them!

This could be my first pair of 14oz bottoms from IH

@northsouthdenimguy great fit!! I was able to try it on too and I agree that while the measurements may suggest it, it's not boxy at all. But for me the armpits on XXL we're a little tight and in 3X other measurements too big that are important to me so I decided to pass on this one. But it's an amazing shirt for sure, if it were a western or work shirt I may have just snagged it anyway

@Slash for me it all started with a pair of Momotaros I got while we were shopping in a town near where my Girlfriend lived back then. I was actually looking for a winter coat but they happened to have a nice selection of selvedge denim and I totally fell in love with the battle stripes and how the fabric felt compared to my jeans. I ended up buying them along with a cool western shirt from Blaumann Jeans and never looked back. Eventually learned about the forum, deepdived all the denim social media and it totally changed my perspective on fits and cuts. It's a great journey.

These are the momotaros after a couple months of wear , I thought these were relaxed back then, today they look almost skinny looking at the pictures.

For comparison my 634xhsib, while there's worlds between the cuts, to me the 634 don't look baggy or relaxed at all.

Sorry for writing that much, I'm sick at home and have a lot of time

Also I hope it's okay for the mods to go a little offtopic, if not feel free to remove or move my post.

@Slash Hey man looks amazing! You will need a little room for the fabric to mold and crease and you really don't want to break in a "skinny" fitting XHS. For me when I startest buying IH even the 555 felt big and not at all super slim because I mostly wore fashion brands with lots of stretch and very slim cuts and now I am looking at my 634 and they look just like a normal straight Cut to me

@Rustygate37 @Chibs tbh I don't love how the pockets leave fade marks after a bit of wear but a work shirt with snaps in this fabric would be peak for mw

Some hotter days ahead so had to wear the big buck together with my XHSbb as long as I still can

Shirts are sold! Bump for the jacket

@don_pipone Happy birthday Pipo!!

TVAT tour jacket with my beloved burgundy IH hoodie and the good old 555-XHSbb

@Oaktavia they are stunning mate, can't wait for my 634xhsib to have them at 300 wears. Will try to push through most of summer and wear them this year as much as possible before I break in my UHR next year. When I tried on the UHR I realised how soft the XHSib became at about 150 wears, yours must feel like a second skin already

Today we went to visit some friends who offered to make a little bike tour around the countryside. They gave us some custom made electric bikes, first time on a e-bike for me, was fun but I prefer my gravel bike

Of course we had to stop for this Nienburger Spargel!
