@FlavourFade damn that things cool. Okay I get the appeal of these nylon windbreakers now

@FlavourFade I just wear them a lot! Used to work in them and take them on the trails around town often. They are horsebutt which seem to fold a lot more readily than the normal chromexcel ones. Mine are also a half size too snug so I think the leather is under more tension. They kinda sucked to break in but they're fine now lol

The patina grows. Love these things

Looking to chase after some vintage fades. Anybody try washing their denim on high spin? I realize a lot of indigo streaming is from washing improperly, ie not flipping inside out and not pre-soaking before wash. If I take my precautions I can probably blast them in the washing machine though yeah?

@drcstan88 for $150? CRAZY snag, well done

@Oaktavia

For those without IG

@GoodtimeJohnny thanks dude! Honored to have my pair be added to the hall. I'm so glad I picked these up and pushed them. Love the extra room in the thighs from the cut, love the zipper, love the insane fade potential from the 21oz serge. A real pleasure to fade from beginning to end and a testament to what I love about the IH brand.

@NickD I'm curious, any way I could see a fit pic?

14oz indigo/black double knee engineer pants would be fantastic

Repping Samurai today

@GoodtimeJohnny hell yeah thanks I just gave him a follow

@Alex oh shit, looks like I better not sit this one out then

@sophisto000 Some sound advice, thanks amigo!

I'm definitely not gonna cut my pair of 829s, but I think my next black selvedge I wanna cut the cuff. There's a guy in the indigo invitational this year who did it and I kinda love the look. Any experienced veterans out there, is that a real bad idea?

Edit: here's what I'm referring to. THIS IS NOT ME NOR IS IT THE 829. Just sharing because I think it looks cool

Always regretted not picking up either one of these, never hurts to put some feelers out there just in case. Let me know if anybody has one sitting in their closet, I promise i'll put it to good use and fade the hell out of it! Don't have a preference for indigo or black

@ZackB @denim-dawg thanks gents! I love this damn thing. The corduroy collar is 🤌 I wasn't aware of how awesome the 18oz fabric is before, it's a true blue beaut!

Pretty cool. Wear them well and report back with some cool fades!

@Oaktavia holy shitballs

How water resistant is Paraffin @Oaktavia ? Like is it feel quite waxy like a Wills jacket?

@FlavourFade haha I plan on giving it hell! The jacket is a IHJ-82-IND that I thrifted my buddy works at a consignment shop and he let me know about it as soon as it showed up. Helps to have the buddy hookup!

I gave mine a hot soak when I first got it and got a bit of shrink out of it. I don't have any exact measurements though. Up to you!
