Got called Denim Paddington Bear today, I'm not mad about it.

Freshly washed shirt and jeans, feels good man!

Double cosy on Christmas Eve.

Jersey Western over UHF.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

As requested by @ARNC a few weeks ago haha! Haven't left the house like this, but come the cooler months I might...

Day out in London and just meet a fellow IH fan in a bakery who complimented my get up. He'd just got back from Japan and visited the mills in Kojima. Was rocking some nicely faded Momotaros

Didn't ask if he was on the forum, but if you happen to see this.. thanks for the coffee!

A new IH tux has been assembled!

Love this lighter Hickory fabric so much, really airy and breathable. The pants saw me through the summer and no doubt this jacket will suit spring weather nicely.

Only to be worn together on special occasions though

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole card.

I wanna see Ilia face the winner of Paddy/BSD before a rematch is considered. Ruffy can have the loser as it'd still be a step up for him (and potentially an opportunity avenge to avenge his loss to St Denis).

Arman should face Gaethje at the start of next year if he doesn't retire. Can only ignore the rightful number one contender for so long without it becoming a farce...

@WhiskeySandwich I won't be mad if Gaethje somehow pulls it off though, it'd be an iconic moment made sweeter by the fact he's never been undisputed before.

I got the following parlay going...

Garcia
Nickal
Zahabi
Hokit (First Round KO)
Ruffy
Pereira
Topuria (KO)

Couple underdog picks, but I like to live dangerously.

2am Monday morning UK time (:

@Alex apologies if I wasn't clear in my words, but I never meant to insinuate that you were trying to deceive anyone.

My reference to product photo was intended to illustrate my point that this issue with the pockets seems to be consistent across this run, rather than one off QC misses.

I acknowledge Giles' points posted above, and appreciate that these hiccups in manufacturing must be extremely frustrating for everyone involved but I just wanted to give my honest opinion as somebody that respects what you guys do and the products you help to create.

In 3/4 years on this forum and after 1000 posts I can only recall expressing anything less than unbridled positivity on 2 occasions, so I would have hoped my feedback would have been taken with better intentions.

Respectfully, given the price point of these shirts and the brands reputation for quality/attention to detail, these asymmetric pockets are unforgivable imo.

I can understand how inconsistencies in the hides/scarring could be spun as a unique quirk of the product, but this is clearly a construction error that appears to be consistent across the entire batch (it's even off in the product photo which was probably the best of the bunch).

I hope this gets taken as constructive criticism that it is intended to be.

@Denimhead-0 damn, seeing them side by side makes my silly brain say they're different enough to warrant both...

10.5oz Hickory

I wear this hat so much when summer days come around.

Great photos and post, Andrew. I always knew you'd pull off this jacket
