It does, thanks for that. The anticipation is part of the experience and I wouldn’t want them if everybody else had them anyway.

I did have a good rake but couldn’t see it. How frequently do we see restocks of the more popular models/ colours? Fairly new to the Japanese selvedge wormhole, although had my first pair of Evisu’s in the late 90’s.

So, my first brand new pair of IH jeans having jumped from Oni and Samurai. I though I would miss my new, but so far all good. I have a pair of 666 fade to blacks in 14oz which I had tailored to fit my waist. I have done 3k on a wattbike in them since buying ( with a hard wallet in the back pocket obs!) And this week it the first wash. No sure whether to expect some decent whiskers or just hear them laughing at me as they live up to the slow fade reputation. Some stunning examples in this thread.
