Thought this one was a dead cert for me but am a bit worried the shoulders on a large may be a bit snug, not sure if an XL may be too big. Was also pondering copper snaps with it.

Thanks @yannis and @prpx .
I get that IH denim tends towards the traditional. in cut, I just find a smaller hem a bit neater with trainers which unfortunately I have to wear a lot for work. I also have to walk backwards quietly a lot and excess hem, believe or not can be a it noisy!
Although I've expanded a bit round the middle I still have pretty slim legs and tbf the 888 cut seems to work for me from a comfort point of view. I love my 555XHS but the front rise is a little too shallow despite being a medium/high rise and they sometimes sit a little uncomfortably. I don't foresee that being an issue with the 888s, as middle age encroaches my jeans are inevitably relaxing in cut a bit although that said I never rocked a skinny jean! PBJ relaxed tapered have worked well for me.
I have a lot of other IH gear and the jeans were the last piece of the puzzle as I was used to a trimmer cut but the 888 may have resolved that particular issue. Now all I need to do is ensure my bank account can handle the inevitable onslaught.

Thanks. There's always that feeling in the back of your mind!
One other thing is the wool lining extends all the way down to the bottom of the jacket, ie wool shows through the holes where the waist drawstring would exit which isn't the case on my long sleeve.

Thank you, must appreciated. Like I say it feels pretty legit, that detail threw me. though. Only noticed as I have a long sleeve khaki n1 and love the wool pocket lining!

Hey , thanks for getting back. This is the listing. The swing tag is the same size as a real one but not quite as glossy a material.

HI all. I just had a query re product authenticity.
I just purchased a khaki n1 vest from a famous online auction site that purported to be brand new. It feels/looks to be authentic apart from one detail. The pockets are corduroy lined rather than wool. I was wondering if anyone had come across such an iteration or have I been had? Always a risk but I took a punt. It'd be interesting to hear either way as I could potentially return it if not authentic or at least raise the issue with the host site.

Ah! Many thanks. Standing by.

Morning all! Happy new year, hope everyone had a great holiday season. Was just wondering if a restock of these was imminent, was hoping to set myself up with some fresh denim for 2025. TIA

@IH-GARY thanks for a smooth transaction, lovely pair of IH555-03 delivered very swiftly.

Any idea if there's likely to be a. restock of this colour? I know it says seasonal run and was only restocked in August but if you don't ask….

Thanks @yannis and @prpx .

Thanks Neph for such a swift response!

I feel you re fucking with the taper, it's not something I'd ordinarily consider I'm reluctant to even hem tbh but might need to due to the chunkiness of the 21oz looking a bit odd when double cuffed.I'm in the UK so there's a few people about who could attempt it if the mood takes me.

Think I'll style it out with the waist as you recommend, if I can get in excess of an inch stretch I'll be golden.

Was always a bit Luke warm on denim that isn't black black but with the toned down stitching I think I'm gonna enjoy these!
