Drying - it’s bloody warm in Italy.

I got this and the red one with at very good discount. My fairly uneducated guess is that being light they face a different competition than other IH shirts, and that people may be less willing to pay top dollar for them.

If that’s right it’s a damn shame. These shirts are light, bot still tough as nails, and very well made. Because I wear them in warm weather I have to wash them more frequently than heavier shirts, but you can’t really fault the shirts for that.

I’ll be watching. Being a Dane I’ll be rooting for the Danes, especially Vingegaard.

Pogacar is of course a massive favorite. I’ve been watching cycling, especially the Tour, since about 1989, and he is the most complete rider I’ve ever seen. That’s including Armstrong, who I really liked in the beginning of his career.

Apart from the Danes I have a very soft spot for Wout van Aert. He has so much talent - winning a stage crossing Ventoux, a time trail and Champs Elysees in he same tour (21) is a magnificent achievement. And he is also an amazing supporting rider. In the tour in 22 for Vingegaard, and just recently in the Giro for Yates. After leading out for Koij he is a huge part of Yates winning. In a very unselfish effort - just a great rider.

So - picked them up after hemming, and stopped by the sale at Brund on the way. There I found two IHSH-388 at a very attractive price.
Combined with these pants it’s almost a resort vibe that I really like

(Sorry for the poor picture)

Could be. But the measurements in my 728s are within ,6 cm of these in both rises (front being a little lower and back a little higher), so that can’t be all of it.

No big deal though, I’ll have it fixed tomorrow, I was just surprised.

It could be the waist, though. The 728s have a slimmer waist, so they probably sit higher om my hips.

Oh and: @Alex: These - without pockets- as shorts. I’d buy in a heartbeat.

Just received them today. No pics yet, sorry.

I’m very happy. The fit of the top block is just perfect, they are extremely comfortable. I guess I could have sized down, but I wanted the comfortable fit and I really think I hit the spot.

I’d prefer a bit more taper from the (my) knee, that would be the perfect fit in my book.

A funny thing: I had them hemmed the same length as my 728s, but these are too long. The hemming is spot on, so I think it has to do with the fabric being more loose here, alloving it to drape with fewer creases. I don’t know if others have the same experience?

After way too much thinking - ordered

Top block measurements seem perfect - I probably prefer a bit more taper, but they should be really comfortable and get a lot of wear come fall.

@Ikeaparty: It's funny, I wouldn't say I have a sweet tooth, and for most of my wine drinke career "dry" would have been one of the first descriptors I'd have chosen for wine I liked.

But the rieslings that combine sweetness and acidity have really taken me by surprise - of course there has to bee enough acidity to balance the sweetness, but when it is there magic happens. If you get the chance try some really old ones. I recently picked up some spätlese frem the eighties. Some of them were gone, but those that weren't were super exciting. The sweetness mellows somewhat, and the taste can become very complex.

@Brandrea: I wish I could say the same - I'd choose company over wine any day, but event in the best possible company, in the most charming place, I wouldn't enjoy bad wine - and probable drink something else instead:-)

I find it hard to pick a favorite wine. But this is high on the list, so I was happy that I got my hands on a few bottles.

Falkenstein wines are famed for their high levels of acidity - they harvest the grapes based on acidity (rather than sweetness or sugar content), and they let the winification go on until it stops naturally.

These two particular wines have stopped early, leaving a bit residual sugar, and yielding low levels of alcohol (7 and 7,5 %). But the acidity balances it, leaving crisp and fresh wines that are at the same time very light and very intense.

Very highly recommended.

A white tee would definitely work. But I never wear white tees without something over them

A dark tee is a possibility. I also think some of my dark plain knits could look really good - but I won’t be taking them out of the closet until October.

I’m really on the fence here, which is rare for me. I’ve been eying those pants since they came up in the future products, and the measurements seem close to perfect (I’d prefer a bit more taper, but all in all very good), but I fear that I’ll be challenged with what to wear them with.

I really like these. But I am uncertain as to what I’ll be able to wear them with. Would a blue denim jacket look off for instance?

I have a Silky Katanaboy, and it is a magnificent saw.

My mothers house is basically built on a hillside, and there is a part of her garden that i a pretty steep overgrpwn area. With the Silky i can get into really tight places to cut down small trees that i couldnt get to with other saws.

I have a very nice Fallkniven slipjoint folder that I used to edc. It is a wonderful knife, but because of the Danish knife laws I can’t carry it anymore.

So I’ve just ordered a pry bar, even though I find the concept a bit strange. I’ll keep you posted.

I just ordered the last xxl. I’ve had a strict “no short sleeved shirts“-policy for about 15 years, but hell: You have a point of view until you have a new one….

Thanks for the answer - my bankaccounts are in danish kroner, so I hardly ever see the exact amount I pay in euros.

I don’t know if it’s related to the new website but:

What’s with the 299,95 pricing? Can’t it just be 300? It looks cheap with the cents.

I’m fine with it if there’s a good reason.

Beautiful. And something I’d actually use pretty much daily from April to October.

Been there, bought the shirt

Fingers crossed

They are the best shorts I’ve ever owned.

Any chance of a restock of these? Maybe other colors besides olive?
