1 full year of daily wear on my DD and finally soaked it for the first time yesterday, couldn’t be happier with the result, duck will rest in my closet for winter and come back early spring for one more year of heavy action

Slowly but surely, worn for 3 months i think, here and there when weather is not too cold. Just love that fabric, way more than denim, i would love to see more dyed duck items in future collections.

Got caught in the rain yesterday so i thought i would take evo pics after it was dry, it looks cleaner, whites are white, blues are blue, which was not the case recently but you can't see it from afar, lots of blue details have appeared here and there, love it.

Bonus pic : the 526L with cut sleeves i wear as a vest, fading quickly thanks to the rugged DD on top, jeans is the 777 collab in SBG.

IH mailing day !!!

It has been a pretty expensive F/W 2024 for me this year, 2 leather jackets, the 805 bib, 3 UHFs, and i don't even regret it a bit

Well, everything is sold out now but for those of you worried about the shoulders measurements being small on this item everything was just perfect for me, i am a size L in IH jackets, took that one in L despite i am a 46cm in shoulders and the jacket a 43.9cm... It feels just like a 46cm, not snug at all.

Here worn with a Tee plus a UHF

Here with just a Tee.

The Fantastic Four getting along nicely ahah

More details shots of my DD jacket

1st hole soon around the wrist

Also i always have the same problem with my jackets no matter the brand, at the very bottom of the back inside the jacket the chainstitch never last very long, i have good fading action around that part of the jacket and the stitching just get cut sooner than later but only inside, from outside you couldn't tell it's damaged , 1st shot is my DD, 2nd shot is my leftie pretty well worn compared to the DD and as you can see the bottom of that jacket is a mess, i also have a Momotaro jacket worn for 3 years in the same state, anybody here facing the same issue ? It's rubbing against my belt or belt loops only, pretty sure about that.

On the other hand, i think my 1st IH jacket ever was the 526L around 2020, took a M thinking it would be good, and it was good at first, but L is my size i learned it that day, after few rain soaks, a bit of shrinkage here and there and once the creases were well set sleeves were beyond too short, so once again few days ago i have cut those sleeves to make it a vest ^^ Also happy with the result, but what to do with both sleeves made of a thick and rigid 526L denim ??? Ok Let's try to make.... A denim collar for dog ^^

I had that idea since a decent amount of time now, using both wrists parts from denim sleeves as a base layer to make a collar and use the scraps to strengthen and secure everything, i have a very small experience in sewing, just a bit of sashiko repair actually, no machine, just repairing stuff by hand, so it was just a bet, but the result is pretty convincing IMO.

Here is the "process" in picture ^^

Both sleeves removed, and two wrists cut later.

At that point the 1st button was secured with bar tacks as it will never be opened again, that would be dramatic during a dog walk.

Let's start with the second button now that will become the one i use to open and close the collar everyday.

I have opened widely the button hole to adujst the length of the collar and match my dog's neck size, and then rebuild stitches around the button hole.
Then i have sewn velcro strips to avoid the collar to turn around the button, and on top of that a strap i got from an old back pack.

Last touch and not the least !!!
The IH PATCH for a cleaner look !!!
I would like the 1st locked button to be hidden cause two buttons on a collar would not be cute.

Denim is barely faded.

Now everything is finished and well secured i hope.

Best part of this post... Let me introduce you Scarlet !!! Modelling that unofficial denim dog collar from IH.

Hope you enjoyed it, the idea is pretty simple but it was more difficult than it looks, and very time consuming.
I can't even imagine how difficult it is to built a jacket from scratch... A huge thought and thanks to the IH workers in japan working behind the scene to provide us amazing gears !!!

Quick pic before dog walk

Small contribution to the fading potential of that shirt, worn a bit during summer with a backpack, showing signs of wear in the bottom of the back outside the flannel AND inside
Then worn as a pajama since the temperatures have cooled down.
It’s just so cozy to sleep with and not that warm, i never woke up in the middle of the night covered in sweat actually

@denim-dawg That fabric is evolving sooo quickly, mine is still raw, i am struggling with myself to not wash it right now as i want to see it clean and well contrasted, but i know later is better ^^

@Giles Beauty !!!

@pechelman that would be pretty awesome, some kind of indigo silver X black
