Thanks @Omega-Man for the beautiful hairline duck western shirt. Fits perfect! The entire transaction was super easy, thanks so much.

@FlavourFade The only thing I noticed is they kind of get tighter on my thighs like one of those chinese finger traps if I am out in the Vegas heat too long.

@moskiitto The UHR were brutal to break in but eventually molded to my body so well. They are just perfect jeans. I've worn the xhsib maybe 30 times so far. The breaking in experience for me is much different than the UHR. These feel more unwieldy, just heavier and still not molding to my body yet. I am certain they will, but for now they feel boxier and more shapeless than the UHR. Could also feel that way because I am stacking these instead of cuffing like I did with the UHR.

All that said, I have a feeling it will be like choosing a favorite child once I tame these beasts.

Since my UHR are out for some repairs decided to bring only these on a 2 week trip to Vegas in the dead of summer. It was 118F yesterday. Probably not the smartest move but it sure accelerates the breaking in process.

@Johnnyutah247 thanks buddy. UHR really are something special. These are out for some repairs on the pocket so I have in my XHSib the last few weeks.

Trying to DM you, interested.

Double denim Friday

@Denimhead-0 Thanks! My favorite pair of IH denim.

11 months down…

888 UHR
ShipJohn Rambling Jacket
Standard H t-shirt

About 5 full days of wear on this beauty. It’s a shame IH and other brands don’t use broken twill more often. Also, why is broken twill always right around 14 oz. Wrangler, IH, ShipJohn, always 14 or so ounces.

I wish this was the size chart of every IH shirt.

@jeffv0708 great to hear, wear it in good health!

First month was brutal, like sandpaper and the waist band would dig into my waist / hips very painfully. They gradually improved until about month 6 and then it was like they gave up the fight and became sweatpants.

@Sunnergren and @Jord Thanks! They have become my favorite pair of jeans are about 1000% more comfortable that they were at the start.

10 months in on this pair.

@moskiitto It's from my car, oddly enough. I drive a Bronco and we had a brutal winter in NY. Every time I would get out of the truck my left leg would scrape on the floor board on the way to the ground, which was covered with road salt. I think that's why the fade is greenish.

9 months of wear. Just recently started to rotate the 25oz IBs in

Wills Decade Jacket
IH x SE broken twill CPO
888 UHR

Couple months old now, no washes or soaks

I just received the SE broken twill CPO and have a few other IH shirts from SE over the years. I get my normal size and ask them to find the XL with the longest body and sleeves. The difference in measurements used to concern me but my theory is IH isn't making their shirts to a different sizing spec just for SE. An XL CPO is an XL CPO, regardless if it is a 292 that I buy from IH or the 19oz SE version. There will be the typical size variation, but unless the IH guys correct me, that's my assumption.
