Better to protect the quality than force output and dilute what made it good in the first place.

Really enjoy Iron Heart personally.

Did any stockists in EU take these?

These look nice but I already have 293 and the 19oz Sexih ( and the 19oz IB planned maybe )
Wear em as shirts myself. 293 in XXXXL and fits like shirt so there really isn't a way to wear these as a jacket anyway he he.

Man I am super bummed that they did not restock the Indigo Rahben Stitch Polo Shirt in size 6. Only up to size 5.
I wonder if any stockists will receive those. I like the look of a indigo polo shirt for the summer but the sizing is super tight on those.

@tody Black duck type 3 is nice. Fingers crossed we'll see it made again some day!

@yannis That is good advice thanks. I think I will probably lean towards the same tag size as my XHSib for long term comfort. Ofc given that the measurements don't drastically differ.

It looks great, but what matters is also how it feels. I got myself a indigo 12oz shirt and for a long time I was a bit bummed out because it was on the edge of being a little too snug. It did eventually relax a bit, but it did take a long time.

The double D is going straight to the list of wants alongside with the 189-IND.

Really cool jackets. I am confused about the sizing chart though. Front length on the largest size is 24.75 inches. Are they really that short or am I just missing something here? My freenote waxed jacket in XXL has 27.25 body length and as a tall fella it sits just on my belt line and I consider it a cropped jacket on me.

I know check the measurements when they are available, but any random advice is most welcome.

Thing is my first IH jeans are size 40 888 xhsib. I sized up when my usual size is 38 and I am very happy that I did. They have a relaxed fit on me. I could have definitely pulled off 38. I do enjoy the 40 and for the purpose of the XHSib the size is perfect.

I've been reading a lot about 21oz stretching a lot and I am worried if I size these the same as my XHSib I'd end up with jeans too relaxed.

Anyone got experience with both? I do prefer a relaxed fit but the stretch talk got me thinking maybe I should aim for my usual 38 with the coming release of these.

Reading the comments and browsing the thread does not help when trying to practice restraint.

Practicing restraint with this one. I can wait a year for 189-IND. Maybe.

Did I understand correctly from the older messages in the thread that it was thought that there weren't any of this specific denim left but then it was found out there actually was still some?

Is this next drop likely then going to be the last time we see this specific denim?

Any klaxons going off or is hopefully in May a more realistic prediction?

@nurunuru After 7 years of wear. How soft and pliable would you say it has become?

I've had 3sixteen heavyweight 2pack tees for years, washed them a million times and still going strong. Longest running t-shirts I
ever owned. Would like to test out Samurai
though.

@DaveC You will be happy to find out that you don't pay duties when ordering from IHUK to EU. Unless Ireland is somehow special idk.

@FlavourFade Good point. You just talked some sense in to me so thanks. Anyway I hope it is obvious that the broken twill jacket was a success.

@FlavourFade I got the OD variant on a clothes hanger at home. It's so good I thought I'd see if there are any Indigos in Europe but looks like not.
