@flannel-slut Wow, this is a good one. Looks great.

A bit late (exam season in medical school will keep you busy), but wanted to congratulate the contestants and winners.

@Mister_Brue Congrats, absolutely amazing piece. I'm sure your chore jacket is glad it is finally over, the poor thing. Well deserved victory!
@denim-dawg Wow, such a unique and spectacular look! Love seeing leather represented. (Absolutely love leather as a material)
@olblue Stunning jacket. You are racking up a number of extraordinary items now
@Larkens Wow, beautiful pieces. Love the sleeves on that 409.
@SamD What a jacket, and very, very cool to see the evolution in the daily pictures. (Love this cut as well, I need to put some wear on my 123-OD).
@matt_rost Looks great!
@Davids_denim Dang good! Extra points for really putting in the time.

@GTPowers Great shirt! (Loved your XHSbb as well btw). I certainly enjoy your updates and pictures, but I'm not really active on IG etc. so you probably wouldn't know it. And I'm sure I'm not alone. And one thing that's become clear to me after following a few of these Redline Rallys and Indigo Invitationals is that there are always pieces that are overlooked for some reason. (And for instance, how the 25oz Samurai jacket didn't make the top 10 this year or how Jcaz has never actually won one of these things, I have no idea).

Sorry if I forgot anyone, I'm sure I did. Hope to see you all for the upcoming Indigo Invitational.

@jdwaid You definitely won't regret this one, one of the absolute best IH shirts in my opinion.

@Davids_denim You definitely had my vote. Amazing shirt, and best of luck!

That’s too bad!

I think we'll all be getting this one. What a cool piece.

Who will be wearing the sample?

@Mister_Brue Haha, that's my size so I'm just trying to make him buy it before I give in and buy it myself!

@jimcord I'm with @Mister_Brue on this, I don't tend to size up for CPOs. Then again, I typically use them as I would a regular (denim) shirt.

(Iron Heart Germany has XXL in stock by the way)

Great collection!

Love the 20oz chore coats. Hopefully I'll be able to secure one when the time comes.
And wow, that horse suede M65 is mighty nice.

@AdamJ Very nice.

Wow, that sure looks like 21oz.
And is that SBG, or something a bit lighter on the black version?

Totally agree with @denim-dawg - so many incredible pieces this year. (Jcaz was the only one missing).
Well done guys.

@Mister_Brue said in IH-1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo:

Yes, they’ve pleasantly surprised me. I’m looking at the 822’s for IIV. Maybe the knees will last six months?

The 822s are probably your best bet. Though I kind of doubt they'll last a full year. Someone should convince Haraki to make som triple knee jeans for you.

(And I think I have to reassess the pair you wore in the last II, I don't think any pair of jeans would have survived)

@Mister_Brue Wow! These look great
Hard to fathom this is 58 days of wear. I doubt I could get there in 580 days. That's handcraft for you. (Currently I'm a student (again), so a whole lot of reading these days, which is easy on the denim).

Really looking forward to seeing your progress in the upcoming Indigo Invitational! Did you already decide on a pair?

@Oaktavia Wow, that is magnificent.

@Oaktavia Looking so good. Gotta love that fence full of denim as well.

@Mindfulbiscuit Wow, looks great!

262 wears and another wash on these.
(4 washes in total now)

@Giles said in Ask Giles and/or Alex Anything:

Sorry, nothing at all wrong with the product, but a bit like Triple Works, I think it suffered in part through brand snobbery….

The psychology involved is quite fascinating. And for those on the design/production/sales side I imagine it can be rather frustrating at times as well.
