    I'm a denim and leather lover to the core. I sew and make bags and other soft goods on the side, and also enjoy working with newer tech fabrics as well. All materials have their place and can be quite useful. However, nothing beats natural options! I love knowing that something is only getting better as I wear or use it. I have an office job as the COO of a nonprofit working with people coming out of a lifestyle of addiction, and I see myself in many of their faces. I know that anything can get out of hand for anyone and become an addiction - that's why I wanted to be a part of this community, rather than simply a consumer of more and more products. I enjoy IH for the longevity and delayed gratification, and I'd like to model my life around that concept.

      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.

      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

      Testing all the various ways to wear a UHF, and layering is fun with these. Crazy how warm this thing is, not a touch of cold walking the dog last night with just two layers.

      Wife says "But you're going to look cuter than me at Thanksgiving this year" and I take that as quite a compliment! Although I'm obligated to disagree, I'm still proud of the recognition 😅😂

      Got my IIY5 pair on, and going into the second month. They are finally starting to feel comfortable. Not IH (Simple & Raw 23oz), but I always make an effort to rock an IH piece up top when I can! Got the IHSH-62-IND Wabash on today over my "office appropriate" button up shirt (Lululemon makes pretty comfortable dress shirt btw). Received 5 compliments on the Wabash within 15 minutes of arrival at work this morning, which is more than any other shirt I've worn to work. 3 people wanted to know what brand it was, and I was almost hesitant to tell them because I don't want them to see the price and assume my salary is much higher than theirs (it isn't). Running a non-profit, I try to be conscious of those types of impressions. Anyway, I'm still very happy with the Wabash and look forward to the day when it's well faded!
      Boots are Grant Stone Field Boots, on day 2 of the Patina Thunderdome. Anyone else trying their hand in the Thunderdome?

      @flannel-slut She's the best. Couldn't have asked for a better pup, really.

      Also, here's the response from MSC to my comment about looking like a copy/paste of the IH Wabash.

      Here's a recent photo of their Field Jacket. It's some of the best natural veg tan I've had. Definitely needed a Bick4 condition, but it was so good after that.

    • RE: Master Supply Co Leather

      @flannel-slut Funny, I had a similar experience with the Bronson 1930 Boxing Sweater recently. The fabric is superb (Probably the best fabric of any sweatshirt I've ever worn, even over Lady White Co and Iron Heart), but the cut was HORRIFIC. It was choking me so much that I actually seam ripped the collar, cut the neckline down in the front, and sewed it back together. And it's just now bearable, still not perfect. Here's a before and after picture I posted on a Reddit thread a few weeks ago when I did this:
      1000027778.jpg

      Also, be careful - apparently the loopwheel t-shirts they advertise aren't actually loopwheel, it's just the name.

    • RE: Master Supply Co Leather

      @flannel-slut Agreed. I commented on their page that they could have changed SOMETHING. They kept the tag placement, font color, and the buttons exactly the same. All easy opportunities to change a little something to at least help distinguish it from the IH Wabash. I know there are only so many designs available for traditional style shirts, and many of the repro companies market their shirts as a repro, so it works. However, to keep every detail the same and intentionally not acknowledge the source to take credit seems devious.

      I'm a fan of MSC. I have their natural field jacket and love it. With that said, I wonder what you all think of this "pinstripe" sample piece they have posted on their Instagram. See photo:

      @Marc2706 Thanks! It's one of those things that grew on me over the last 6 months. Turns out all I needed was a couple layers underneath for it it fit properly, and now I love it!

    • RE: IHSH-431-BRN - Slubby Heavy Flannel Check Western Shirt - Brown

      I'm so annoyed by this release. I had it all planned out. I was NOT going to buy this. I even scheduled a meeting to take place during the drop time so I would have to wait almost an hour after release before I was able to even look. 59 minutes after the drop I hit the "Pay Now" button and now I have to figure out how to explain how I bought all 3 UHF releases for this season. Crap.
      They're just too good. This F/W25 season has been killer. I'm just grateful I live at the beach so I don't need to buy all these awesome jackets coming out too. I'd be in real trouble then.

    • RE: Closet sale : size M-L + bags - Aero Leather, Iron Heart, etc.

      How does the sizing of the vests work in comparison to the shirts? I've been eyeballing some vests on eBay for a little while (actually, yours is only about $25 more than the one I was just looking at) but have been a bit hesitant because the measurements I'm used to using don't seem to apply much with this. For reference, I'm a Medium/Large (mostly medium) with all the IH tops I have. How does the vest compare to your shirts? I'm asking here because your size preferences seem to be similar to mine, considering the items you're selling. Hope you don't mind! Thanks
