@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

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

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

The power of post comments... just bought this one as an extra for the wife's Christmas Good for menopause apparently too
