"I've always wondered what this day would feel like" is something I've thought several times today, wondering if there was anything specific I could capture to carry with me. Today marks 10 years since I put down heroin for the last time, and honestly today what I feel is the same gratitude I had at 1, 2, 3 years, etc. (For me) It turns out there's no magic number for happiness, it's simply remembering to be grateful, regardless of the day or the occasion.

This IHSH-07 Hickory Stripe is one of my absolute favorite pieces, and I am grateful that I was able to purchase it here on the forum. Sometimes a second chance can really bring a thing to life!

Been thoroughly enjoying the colors on the new UHF. It's the perfect cool weather companion, much like my little friend here. The UHF will likely be a go-to for evening rides/walks for the next few months. Now I need to get a western cut. I wish so bad this blue was as slim as a western!

With all this hurricane weather coming in on the coast, it seems to be cooling off a bit these past couple of days. This is the first morning I've been able to sit on the front porch with the pup for more than 5 minutes without sweating through my clothes. Really looking forward to the fall & winter seasons.

Freaking love the slub type 3. It's as comfortable as sashiko fabric with even better fading potential, and probably the best fitting piece I've had by Iron Heart overall.

@Indigo-Alchemist Taking inspiration from you and @SamD for the flannel & untucked with yet another IH layer! Sitting in a corporate leadership class all day feeling smugly superior to all these regular ol' button up shirts

Giving my best Sam modeling pose, not sure I look pensive enough..

This IHSH-361 is still in its first few wears, and I'm loving how rigid this thing is. No idea how long it will take to soften, but I'm sure it will be a satisfying result. It will be nice when the shoulders don't rise up to my ears when I sit down anymore

Pants are Simple & Raw 23oz Milestone
Boots are Grant Stone Field Boots in Saddle Tan (the best version IMO!)

Figured I'd try breaking in the 361 now that it's cooling off since I've yet to acquire a good flannel. Waiting for the right one, I suppose!

Cold enough to layer up these past couple nights for the last dog walk.
The Indigo Invitational Battle Rag came in safely after some concerns about potential import issues to the US. Using the IHSH-361 as a mid layer and the SBG fabric is surprisingly not warm at all lol

@Denimhead-0 Same. The Nespresso machine fills it exactly to the top and it's like it was made for it. Sometimes I wish it was a little larger, and then I realize how extremely American I am.

Mine came today, and I love the material. First IH duck piece I've purchased. With that said, it's also the first IH piece that feels like it's below the IH quality I'm used to. The collar buttons are too close together, making the collar lopsided when buttoned, and the pockets aren't aligned. Unfortunately I purchased from Self Edge and based on what I've read about their customer service, I'm in for a time trying to get it swapped out. Fingers crossed!

@Giles is the man. Coolest, most direct question/answer thread I've seen in a while lol
We're all pretty much just fabric nerds, huh?

This is me wishing I could start the Indigo Invitational over again with these. I really want to grab them up before they sell out but it would kill me not to daily drive them for another 7 months. Never had indigo/black though, how does it fade timewise compared to standard Indigo? I have a 634S 21oz as my bridge pair and that's my only experience with IH pants (95% of my IH gear are tops)

Was about to buy this last week, and when I messaged Self Edge they said they had the dimensions for the old run listed and that they were about to update it to reflect the new run. I'm just realizing how short these are - does anyone have any photos that could help convince me this isn't going to look like a crop top? The old measurements looked perfect, I'm glad I double checked before ordering.

@Inorganic Thank you! And yes, the very same one. It became one of my best fitting shirts immediately, I was so surprised by that. Maybe the first one I wouldn't change at all, given the choice.

@NickD The jacket is actually a selvedge piece from RDD (Royal Denim Division), which appears to be a part of Jack & Jones. I haven't been able to find anything about it online, but it was a cool eBay find that turned out to be brand new. I didn't realize how glad I'd be to have a lightweight chore jacket, but it fills a spot in the wardrobe wonderfully.

@MisterEclectic I appreciate the kind words!

@Yoprst What are you taking these photos with? They look so good
