@Choko Great choice! I'm also tempted by the revamped engineers but I'm going to hold off for now.

@SonnyTheElder Nice! I have the C350 CS in red dog roughout. Very similar boot only yours are hand stitched and mine are machine stitched I believe. Wearing mine as I type and they're probably my most comfortable boot. Seriously chunky too!

Hell yeah, glad you're enjoying yours as well! I'm with you on the chunkiness which was one of the main draws for me for this pair. Most of my boots have a "sleeker" profile so I liked the bulkier profile of this pair and the comfort that comes with it.

I appreciate you guys weighing in with your experiences @Jakederoche and @Luijim78. I can't wait until the weather is more favorable to get more regular wear out of this beauty!

Inaugural wear on the Type 3 OD. This is my first IH Type 3 and it fits different than other non-IH Type 3 jackets I own, quite a bit more narrow through the sleeves and the body when buttoned, almost like a shirt cut. Anyone else find this to be the case or is this common with the IH Type 3? The fit will take some getting used to, but man, it's a beaut!

@pechelman Awesome Quentins!

My first pair just arrived (Cash in Folsom) and I'm stoked. Second pair is already on it's way, and I can tell this might be a budding problem...

Hot day today so the slippers get the call.

Stoked I managed to snag an OD after dealing with the site slowdown. Hope everyone who wanted one was eventually able to get one as well!

@kiya Curious around the reason why you folks generally carry IH tops up to 3X, and only OD fabrics go up to 4X. I'm guessing it's to account for the "shrinkage" that occurs in OD fabrics but as a larger fellow, having more options in 4X would be appreciated.

@tody No wash yet but it will certainly be getting it's first given how warm it was that day. Any pics of yours so I know what to look forward to?

@northsouthdenimguy Very nice! Did you go with the commando or leather sole version? I love the small twists with each retailer's version of the boot but went with the B+M version ultimately because of the all eyelets. I've had mixed results with rotating speed hooks on previous pairs of Alden boots.

@northsouthdenimguy You got it, "Fourth Avenue" make up from Brick + Mortar.

Inaugural outing with these Alden boots.

@SonnyTheElder are you a fellow Aussie, or somewhere else south of the equator?

I'm in California, one of the few who complains about the weather in these parts! I just run quite hot, so the days where it's chilly enough to wear a UHF comfortably are few for me. Luckily, today happened to be one of those days!

It’s finally cool enough that I can start wearing my IH shirts! As long as I stay out of the sun and don’t elevate my heart rate. Even then I probably won’t make it past midday!

I can certainly relate to this! I have two UHF shirts and despite how amazing they are and how many good ones come out each season, I don't think I'll acquire many more given how perfect the conditions have to be for me to wear them without overheating.
