Does anyone know of any other good corduroys? Shame these wont have another run.

My most worn flannel ever: black IHSH-48

My most worn sweater: green IHSW-10.

For bottoms: My 6634 blow me away.

But my most worn IH product(s) are my IHT-3000. I wear an IH tee every freaking day, so Ill go with that.

My deepest condolences to you and all of Sakura's loved ones, Haraki-san.

Thank you for sharing your bravery Sakura, descansa en paz.

My fit on the SD-101 I got on sale from BiG. Sized up one.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who finds IH's 7.5oz tees' fabric perfect.

Super interesting, I didnt know that the problem with the collars was found in mostly in the bigger sized.
I wear a small in IH tops and have some older loopwheeled tees and newer ones.

The newer ones have a more elastic collar that snaps back to your neck size and the fabrics feel different at times. For example I have the IHT-3000 in gray and also newer tee like the 1408 (gray).

The 3000 has a slick and cool temperature-wise feel compared to the 1408 which is hairy and warm as soon as it touches your skin.

I realize some people are after vintage details (ballpark comes to mind) since according to Kiya, IH has a more modern cut/feel approach to their knitwear line and I guess products in general.

I need to order some of these tees.

Im a huge tee fan and my collection consists of flat head (THC), strike gold, toys mccoy, ballpark, and of course iron heart and Im almost perplexed as to why the IH loopwheeled tees aren't revered as much.

IH loopwheeled tee fabrics are better than flat head and strike gold IMO.

Yes, BR!!

I like the red 32 better than my favorite red buffalo check.

The colors are just super classic and it would be great to see another similar design.

PS
@madmonday Im not too active on this forum but I lurk.
I enjoy reading your opinions and insights!!

So my personal experience with SESF formed my opinion.
I visited about 4 years ago for the 1st time and the customer service was disappointing. I was the only person that walked thru the place and the employee on the laptop didnt even bother to look up….
Similar experience 2 years later. Then a year after that I had regular service where the guy told me to hold up while he attended the other guy that seemed to capture his attention more. All of this is IME.
I didnt mean to open a can of worms, much less have you forum veterans against me. I like you guys, which is why I frequent this forum.

It rubbed me off the wrong way, hipsters are those too kool 4 skool guys who wont give you the time of the day unless you meet their standard of a cool phenotype. (If youve had any constant exposure to cities like San Francisco or Portland you'd know who Im talking about)

I dislike that hipster vibe Japanese denim has in SF. I.e I dont like Self Edge.

@louisbosco  Nice jazz. MIJ Fenders are great.
I really regret getting rid of my MIJ Geddy.. A ying yang would be nuts!

Super bad pics but itll do for now.

98 Smith in quilted maple with mahogany core.

A heavy fleece pull over kinda like a better Patagonia.

Ive been stuck on Weather Report mostly the Jaco years but none the less a great band.

I think theyre approaching a one year daily wear.

After having worn a pair of raw busters daily I thought I wouldnt like lighter denim but these changed my mind.

Over one year of wear.
I havent worn them since I started on my 3009s but I plan to head over to SESF soon to get them repaired.

@No.88 Likewise, a chill guy. Thanks!

Mr. Giles, I suspect this is a long shot but any 1503 in S around anywhere?

Big thanks to @Veintiuno for clear communication and super fast shipping across the ocean.. with a deal to boot!
