@68degreesorless I love them. My wife that's pretty fed up with all my jeans always says she loves these for some reason. I think it's cause they look great when dressing up or down, without a belt, thanks to the cinchback.

Some of my Indigofera gear.
Included are: Alamo shirt (sand), Norris Shirt (beige/brown), Delray linen shirt (black), Wendell double knee pants (beige/rust), Parson’s Lodge Jacket (Type 2 variation), Kirk jeans no2 STPF (cinchback, original version)

I added the 555 cut to the graphic comparison. I found a photo that almost matches the angle and size of the others. It's not perfect but shows the basic differences in key points. The new color for the tripple 5 is PINK.

So, here's a horror story. Last year at work, I went out to grab lunch and returned quickly, holding my burrito bowl and drink. Using my upper left arm, I pressed open the huge and heavy metal door to my workplace. I felt and heard this sticky sensation peel off from my M65's left arm sleeve to the door and realized they had painted the door with black tar-like acrylic or oil-based paint.

I wish I could say they hadn’t put up a warning sign, but they had. In my hurry to rush back up for work, I completely missed the tag they had taped to the wall next to the door. I felt angry and stupid. I panicked as my brain just wanted to remove the paint quickly before it dried. I went upstairs, grabbed paper towels, and tried to tap most of it off, followed by some mistakes involving water, sponges, and liquid detergent.

Long story short: It did remove some of the paint but not all—perhaps 60%. The worst thing isn’t the paint; it’s how my rubbing, and perhaps the detergent, damaged the fabric and its "sheen," making parts of the fabric dull. I rubbed too hard and "aged" those spots by about 30 years. I’m all for patina and aging, but this is just weird. The thing is, I’ve read that parts of the discoloration might actually be particles from the paper towels and sponge - making it fixable? I hope.

Once my head cleared up, I realized I should have gone to the dry cleaners instead and let the pros take care of it.

I’ve worn the jacket since and felt bad about it, but in the end, I’m always the one telling people who get precious about their workwear and leather boots to just embrace the battle scars. Well, this battle scar came with PTSD and the works—I can’t open the door without flinching.

Anyway, to the question: I still haven’t taken the jacket to the dry cleaners. Should I do that, or should I continue trying to remove the remaining stains with lemon essential oil? I've seen that recommended for stains like this. I'm not as precious as I was 6 months ago. I've let go and don't mind trying different solutions. I'll post pictures later.

@Denimhead-0 Thanks. You’ll get there—patience is key! ️ The only downside to the Billy Boot is that unless you cuff your jeans all the way up, the full beauty of the boot stays hidden from plain sight. But it's a cool little secret.

So after years of searching for a pair of Billy Boots, I finally scouted and hunted down a pair of my own, in pretty much mint condition. Normally I'm a half size smaller (9) but wanted them to have that extra space (9,5) for a warm and fluffy inner sole with support, and room for thick winter socks. Now I just need a knife that fits the pocket.

Organizing my pants and took a snapshot of my rotating collection of “bottoms”.

@goosehd I'll check tonight as soon as I put the kids to bed and pour me a glass of Lagavulin. Thanks for the encouraging

My heart is broken.

20 years ago I found a vintage Pendleton flannel in almost the exact colors as this shirt. It was my my favourite shirt for many years, and it had that extra something over it. I received compliments for the shirt by strangers, people touched it and commented on how crisp and perfect it was. That is, until my then girlfriend decided to throw it in the washing machine, tumble dried it and turned it into a toddler's pyjamas.

No stretching in the world could put Humpty together again.

This is Humpty reincarnated. And I missed the train.

Oh me oh my

The perfect flannel + the perfect Stetson = the reason I love autumn on a windy day of roller coasters.

You're right, I saw another photo where the RRL pocket (arcuates?) clearly show.

Is Grohl wearing the IH Johnny Cash shirt here? Any detail detectives here? ️

Are the sleeves foldable on this jacket? Inwards or outwards?

@Darth-fader Are you a medium as well?

Same same. My office is moving today and I'm all over the place, still I tried to keep reloading their page, until all the mediums disappeared. I'm sure I'm gonna be fine.

Been looking for this Terrence Military Chambray shirt for a long time, and now at Indigoferas Garage Sale @ Göteborg Manufaktur, I finally found it.
Filthy had one I remember (further up in this thread). I'll be careful washing it with cold water since I love the fit exactly how it is.

The fabric is crispy.

My wife sent me this picture of my 777s while hiking this weekend. I'm glad I've started to wear these again. I've been giving my 555s a lot more use lately (so comfortable) but things have changed since I found these equally as comfortable as my 555. I'm a 33 in both.

@AdamJ I love that you're waiting for the right manufacturer, like it should be. Thanks for the quick reply.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered everywhere else but here. Will we be getting any restocks on this personal holy grail ? The shop says "Continuous Production"

@Alex Hi again. Would it be possible to replace my missing leather tag now after restock?
