@caithangkhanh go larger rather than buy something that fits perfectly on paper, would be my advice. A wash or two and there will be prob be a slight change. If it needs more change, increase wash temp. Perfect initial fit may end in tears

This was my first release experience on IH - it did go rather quickly... Glad I snagged a medium and asked for copper snaps addition

I've found myself here through my constant desire to find out what works best. Waiting for my first pair of Iron Hearts to arrive (eBay 2nd hand 777s). I hope they work out. I've been a Nudie wearer for a decade and recently bought two new pairs of Samurai that I returned as they just didn't fit right. Buying remotely is not without difficulty... Other than that, I am a budding Samurai (Iaido 1st dan), work with people in nature, learn shakuhachi and hand pan, collect fountain pens, climb hills, drink weiss beer and do a daily cardinal points gratitude, like any old druid should.
Looking forward to being enlightened on the denims front

cheers @deadendpro - aye - all of that stuff is indeed helpful for me and so many others too. This wee video was a bit of fun really but brings to mind the value of taking care of ourselves and not letting judgement and overthinking get in the way of joy. I'm an old Ranger and have spent my whole life fairly connected to other nature both to put food on the table and for health and resilience. More recently I have been working on insight and mindfulness in nature - such an easy, fruitful marriage. I think it also fair to say that this stuff is certainly 'tune in and drop out' but also one of the antidotes to addictive scrolling and digital overload. Hard to name anybody not affected... Taking time to be still and practice being present sets us up well to respond to life rather than react. Working in with other nature gives us more insight into our ways of being. Body and soul.

@Tago-Mago thing is... That doesn't do it for me. I was drawn by the illusion you created with your name... I remember when I first listened to Can Tago Mago, Speed Record shop, Ayr, Scotland c.1978. 'Mushroom' blew my mind. The percussion was seminal stuff. Love that band... and many others. But not this

@Fadez ...I read 'dribble' at first and nodded knowingly... there are other things in your pictures that make me wonder how many people here have a 'turning japanese' thing going on. And I don't mean in the spirit of the Vapours!!

@Fadez So many great teachings from Thich Nhat Hanh

And now, 30 mins later, out of stock in all sizes on IH UK... mental!

Just received a 15yr old pair of 25oz 666's from @Giles Fast and easy and more importantly for me, a perfect fit. This guy could open his own denim business I reckon Thanks again

Big thanks also to @Inorganic for a UHF flown over from USA to Scotland with zero issues - fast and easy. Love it

Preloved has so many benefits

I just came across this abandoned area of IH forum world. A small contribution that may land well in some areas but if not then it has helped me to identify that I need to do some dusting... every endeavour has areas of interpreted success

@Matt kneeling chairs brilliant for my back and general posture. I do occasionaly get tangled up in them when I try to quickly stand up...

@Chap ZNKR setei katas but our lineage is Muso jikiden ryu - brought to the UK in the 70's by Fuji sensei. Iaido and jodo both incredibly mindful arts - and we have a good laugh at the dojo too!

@Chap Iaido and Jodo...but both of those are sharp for cleaving the heads of any intruders...and slicing milk cartons in half for fun
