    • RE: IHV-50-IND - 14oz Sashiko Dobby Cloth / Duck Work Vest - Indigo

      There must have been a return because a restock notice was in my box this morning. It took about 11 seconds for me to pull the trigger (it'da' been faster if my connection were better). I had my eye on this from the outset and...missed it. Happy fella' here. I often wear the wabash vests with an old school knit tie and white button down Oxford, and I'll post a comparable fit here when the occasion arises. Think: moto-thug professor look. Looking forward to that telltale shipping notice.

      @Hohba01 said in IH-1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo:

      Already have to many jeans but if XHS/UHR comes out in 1955 i will not be able to resist buying at least one pair.

      I too hope we see a heavyweight 1955. This is my best cut. I hope the recent sell out provides some impetus. I need no more jeans likely ever (rotation + age = IH is in my will, not just my closet). But a UHR/XHS...oh yeah.

      I'll be at work at release time and will suddenly have to be excused from the meeting for a few minutes. I will conceal the joy on my face when I return should I score the pair.

      Is it possible to make a UHR denim in black?

    • RE: IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

      @bluemantra , this pair started at 14.5 inches and after the hot wash they are now 13.5 in the thigh (measured the IH way). So about an inch. My overall fit is a bit on the loose side (I could fit a size smaller), but this is what I prefer, which means I tend not to stress stretch much at all. I hope this helps.

      Post Wash Update
      This is my second pair of UHR---the first were 777 some years ago and they are pretty much perfect in fit and patina. I wanted then as I did now to get all the shrink and stuff out of them from the first, if that's possible. I washed them on the shortest hot cycle without a spin rinse and hung them dry. They shrank one full inch in the waist and two full inches in the inseam. I'm delighted with the result and it's just as expected. There was no marbling or untoward consequences to washing rather than soaking, so it seems. I hope this helps, but I'd just say that (as usual) Iron Heart's declarations regarding size and care are spot on. What IH said would happen is exactly how they turned out. I'm going to wear the crap outta' them now.

      I've had one of those When It Rains, It Pours weeks now. I missed the previous run and have regretted it since. So this restock and then the new 16oz OD, I had to score both. 634 is my cut though I love'm all (though 555 I regard as good for other people). I'm at the age where I feel confident these jeans will out live me. That's not a bad thing. Photos to follow.

      Not everyday is the juice worth the squeeze but with UHR you can put that idea to work. I'm going to shrink these bad boys, put 'em on damp, and squeeze them into fit goodness. Thanks for the restock. I scored mine this morning.

    • RE: IHDR-434-HHG - 14oz Fox Brothers® Check Flannel CPO Shirt - Rustic Yellow, Hickory & Hunter Green

      I will get over that I like pockets because this piece is just too extraordinary to pass by. My birthday is this week, as if I need an excuse. I may even get to Vahalla if I die wearing this---how could Odin deny me if I promise to lend it to him.

    • RE: IHDR-434-HHG - 14oz Fox Brothers® Check Flannel CPO Shirt - Rustic Yellow, Hickory & Hunter Green

      I think @Fadez nails it here: a CPO has hand warmers, does it not? So this is more like a heavier wool shirt, which is perfectly lovely, downright brilliant but not exactly a CPO as I see it. There's an old saw in the 19th century Royal Navy about leaving the pockets off the midshipmen's jackets so that they can't stand around at their leisure when they should be attentive. (You might recall a very young midshipman in the Master and Commander movie blowing on his cold hands, a nod to this tradition.)

      No hand warmers? I will quote Scripture in this case: "And he wept..."

      I don't know if the little video above (I tried to delete considering the size) will open. But it offers a good look at the jeans, the UHF, and the Rover.

      I sealed final grades for my University students today and wore the 777-XHS to celebrate with body armour.

      This is my second pair, a refresh. I take a picture with my originals that took, you know, six years to fade (even a little).

      I have a clothes steamer that I use for wool and suits---and 25oz 634s. I steam and then give them a gentle wipe with a towel. When they're dirty for reals, wash'em. Fades are stubborn but I take that as a very good thing, I'm in no hurry.

    • RE: IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

      When I saw today in my email that XHS had been restocked I was so stoked I very nearly purchased (by accident) the 666 misreading it for 634. I tell ya', Iron Heart does that to me. I need to refresh my XHS but I'm very much a 634 kinda' guy---and at my age you'd think prudent, carefully looking at the details. But noooooo, I see XHS and nearly pull the trigger when...634 isn't here yet. I may not sleep for a week now, I'll just be refreshing the browser until I see the 634XHS restock. I doubt I'm the only one this possessed.
